Its right by your reel-to-reel!

What's a reel-to-reel? Is that like film? :wink:

I'm a couple/three years short of 50 and I've had the AARP breathing down my neck for a year already. Does that make me old enough to play? :biggrin:

Here is a link to the 'rules'. Might want to include a short reference to photo usage, since many people are paranoid about copyright these days.

LOL! My cheap stereo as a kid had the ability to RECORD 8-Track tapes from an album. Was that cool or what? :wink:

Remember having to get up to change the TV channel to one of the six that were available? Don't forget to fine-tune the station and/or get the vertical to stay still... after the tubes warmed up of course (the tubes that you tested on the big machine at the drug store).

Yeah, in my late forties too...

ANYWAY, thanks for the contest info!

Ah yes, 8-Track, the APS film of the recording world.
Pete D. cranks up the Gramaphone and drops the needle to the bakelite.

Dang Paul, you had it made growing up. We only got three channels when I was a kid and I'm just in my mid-fourties.
