I gave myself a $1,000 budget to buy my system. I wanted to start a credit history, so dad cosigned the loan at the bank. I paid it off in 6 months as I remember.

Back in that era, cassette tapes were new, and sounded terrible and 8 tracks were better sounding. Of course I bought 8 tracks. They quickly died, and cassettes took over as Advent introduced a newfangled cassette tape deck in 1971.

I had a ton of mix tapes I made.

Do you still have the system?

What about the mix tapes?
