Anyone remember the "Elcassette"?


Somewhere in the middle '70's, Sony brought out a tape deck
called the Elcassette. It used 1/4" (?) tape in a large cassette, something similar to the "Beta" cassette.

This system was rather highly thought of, at the time.

I had two of them back then. Still have one and a full case of unopened cassettes.

Any market for these?

There is at least one website devoted to elcassette technology and its history. I believe that the whole bloody mess was eventually marketed somewhere in Scandinavia (not sure..Norway, maybe?). I think there were some Teac consumer Elcaset decks marketed, too. I saw them in Japan when I lived there as a boy.
