Bismo and I were rhapsodizing last week about recording Star Trek as kids, by holding tape recorder mics up to TV speakers. My tape recorder was an Aiwa TP-32, a Christmas gift from my parents when I was ten years old. I soon leveraged my mastery of the prized possession into an audio-visual aid gig at school.
The TP-32 in that video is slightly different from the one I had, which looked like this.
Every so often I check eBay to see if there’s a TP-32 worth buying. Sometimes I see one, but in keeping with my goal of having fewer physical possessions, I never bid.
