I'm looking for an old shoebox cassette recorder:

Let me know if you have one you'd be willing to part with.

Yeah yeah laugh it up guys. You'll change your tone when I complete by robot...(evil laugh)

Seriously it's for my little boy. He saw a photos of me with one circa 1978 and he hasn't stopped talking about it.

(and it was an TI 99/4a with cassette drive thank you very much)

Funny to consider we have come thru all of the iterations of home computers. They only thing it always reminds me of is "Deskset" with Hepburn & Tracy and the HUGE computer & plotter we had at GE (I think it was a Gerber Plotter) took up a whole room...

:lol:
TI99a was my 1st home computer. We went the added $$$s and got the voice box for it. (Very impressive for the time)

Our 1st 2 laptops :lol: were Osbornes (circa 1981 portable micro computer).
:wink: Micro??? It weighed ~24 lbs.

They had thier own operating system, dual floppy drives and a 4" diagonal monochrome screen. Even had room to store your floppies!

Osborne used DR CPM as did a lot of other similar computers. I still have a working Kaypro with all documentation and software in virtually perfoect condition. It is under the desk next to my XT which runs both CPM86 and MSDOS.

I will keep my eyes open for a casette recorder. That is the kind of thing that would show up at Halted or Wierdstuff warehouse.

You could buy a new one....$16 at Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-TCM-150-Cass ... B00008XETL

A while back, one of my wife's students needed a Cassette deck to play old music lessons and we found this and it worked good. It takes standard cassettes and isn't much bigger than the cassette.
