If you must know 54... I think the old record player in a box ended up being used down the garden to make mud pies!
IIRC the first half-decent device was a Ferguson Studio Six (I think that's the correct name). Stereo BRS auto-change record player, a cassette deck and FM/AM radio. All in one piece of "furniture"!
Then we had a music centre of some sort, with separate speakers, so we could get a proper stereo effect.
I eventually ended up with an assortment of components - Technics amp & cassette deck, Mordaunt Short speakers, Hitachi tuner, and a Philips 7½" reel to reel tape deck.
In view of the age of most of this gear (20yrs+) I have started digitising my old collection whilst I still can...

I shall resist the temptation to re-record it...
ReplyDelete40 years ago? - Jeeez, I must be getting old....
ReplyDeleteDioclese - go for it. People need to be reminded.
ReplyDeleteMicrodave - I'm guessing at the years but I remember playing it on my very first record player, which had a cast steel tone arm and lived in a box.
