Stereo Tape Machine

Ahh… the joys of the early Walkman era. But my family couldn’t afford a real Walkman, so I was lucky to unwrap a sears version with a generic sheen of hot pink and turquoise on black. It was wonderful.  I’m very sure I immediately tested it with Rush’s Hemisphere’s cassette. Propping the lid open would give you the proper EQ, otherwise it sounded like the band was sandwiched between pillows.
