I had a great Panasonic combo cassette ,am,fm radio is was made to be used in your car..I work for HL Dalis in LIC,NY.it was $150 bucks this was 1970 .I took it to Randall's island and recorded the last days show,VanMorrison,Dr.John,Moutain showed up alot of other groups dropped out ,the unit lasted me until about 2000 when it died....it took like 8 D batteries .
All I Wanted To Do Was Listen To Music
But between power management and room treatments there was no money left to buy gear with. Although, I didn't didn't know my coffee maker could sound so good!
