I was surprised to see one in the Smithsonian display a few years back in Washington. I used to balance it on my head while lying in bed and fall asleep to the sounds of the Bee Gees :) I also have the red Take N' Tape cassette recorder shown in the pic. Still works great!

It was filmed for close circuit tv in there show rooms. It featured Blood Sweat and tears song "what goes up Must Come Down". I lived in Japan then and recorded the song in the studio. They then had a Japanese pop star lip sync while another girl and I lip synced back up vocals in the video. I'd love to get a copy of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197772669477247777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-54278166328818796782012-12-29T12:57:40.677-05:002012-12-29T12:57:40.677-05:00I still remember my white tootaloop...got it for m...I still remember my white tootaloop...got it for my 13th birthday...I absolutely loved it.

The thing at that time period was clever design of the package, as well as miniaturization. Panasonic was a technology leader in advanced miniaturized components, likely why they sold such radios on the first place. Even then, radio electronics itself was very mature, decidedly low-tech, and crudely hand-assembled. My favs were a Mickey Mouse and a Champion Spark Plug radio. But especially my battery operated mini phonograph w/AM/FM. All fun until my Crosby, Stills, and Nash LP permanently warped in the sun when I took it outside to listen with my friends! PS I lusted after a gimmicky wrist radio of the time.<br />s-a-h-dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-28594184299705174772012-09-03T20:33:19.384-04:002012-09-03T20:33:19.384-04:00They all look wonderful in the add.
