Cassette Recorders

Welcome graphic

This is the Second cassette recorder my mother had. My uncle brought out one, and then gave that one to my grandmother. Then my uncle gave us a Cassette tape recorder, and the area where the microphone plugs into the recorder busted (the plastic) so the jack itself was hanging by the wires. I don't know why we got rid of it otherwise. Now back to my mother's second recorder (after the one the jack broke in). This is a Truetone Tape recorder. My father bought this from Western Auto in the late 60's-early 70's. The motor in it burned out and had to be replaced. Around 1977, the Rewind button broke. I then took the tape recorder apart, and moved the FF to the Rewind. Since Rewind is more important.

This is what the tape recorder SHOULD look like. I used a graphic program to make an extra key that was missing for the picture. I am hoping to find a model just like this, on ebay, in good condition, and no broken keys.

This is a Truetone Model: MID7050A07 2690 Made in Japan

Notice the price of $6.00. That was the cost to replace the motor, in the early 70's. (about 1971)

Above: A Sears Cassette Recorder

like the one I got Christmas 1976.

Above: A JCPenney Tape Recorder. Like the first one I ever had that had a meter and digital counter. I got the original on for Christmas, 1979,(and in 1980, made a lot of famous recordings, lol) and it worked well for a few years, then the sound started getting choppy. I threw it away, because it was unfixable. The one I just got, works great, although it has a intermittant sound issue, which could probably be fixed with tuner cleaner.I only paid $10.20 for the one off of ebay, incluing shipping.I was outbid on the one just prior to that at over $30.00 or more. I got a bargain!!!!
