Hands up to the cassette AND the 8-track!!

"Me, trying to explain to my kid what a jukebox was: "You know, kinda like an 800-lb. iPod.""

BTW - this was pretty similar to my first mobile phone (and it was WAY cutting edge at the time)

Of course it is! Damn cassettes!

I remember using the two very often while I was growing up

rewinding a tape...

-Find a pen or pencil that has multiple sides (six or eight).

-Insert the pencil into one of the two holes in the cassette that would normally fit over the posts in the base unit.

-Hold the cassette in one hand while you twirl the pencil with your fingers, always turning it toward the center of the cassette. The angles of the sides should engage the sprockets and move the reel.

-Once you have a smooth motion established, change the pencil to a vertical position (straight up and down) and rotate your wrist rapidly to make the whole cassette swing round and round the pencil. Spinning the cassette is a lot faster and less tiring then twirling the pencil with your fingers.

-Return the cassette to the player and see if it will now fast-forward and rewind by the other means

Yeah Jim...those puppies were expensive too...

On the subject of phones, here's something I bet you don't remember...phone answering machines where you stuck the phone in it and a mechanical arm lifted the receiver when a call came in...

You supplied your own reel-to-reel tape recorder...my father briefly got involved with a guy who was selling these, um, don't want to say how many years ago...but, I'd say more than forty...

The only act I can think which involves both a cassette tape & a pencil - is shorthand dictation.

I've never seen it performed, only depicted in some 1950's and 60's movies.

Actually, shorthand dictation does not require a cassette normally...only if the boss dictated into one of those fancy Dictaphone machines, which came later...otherwise it's just shorthand on a stenographer's pad...

I think the worst about the pencil rewind method was if you had a kink (not that kind) in the tape or it got twisted and you didn't realise, you had to take the tape out again, untwist and wind up again. And then when your tape died because you played it to death, that was pretty nasty if you didn't copy it.

I remember the manual rewind. It also worked on videos but you needed a magic marker. And of course I still have an original mains powered casio calculator.
