"March 1977. An old Revere reel to reel recorder (salvaged from the town dump by my father) is now mounted on the wall. This unit was from 1957 and despite having no cabinet, worked quite well. It was only mono, but at 7 1/2 ips the sound was actually pretty good. I had this recorder up until around 1999 when I finally retired it permanently. 40+ years of service out of a piece of gear… most of the junk sold today would be lucky to last 1/3 that long. Things were built to last back then, this recorder was very well made and heavy. Also visible in this photo is a Realistic multitester. This item was very helpful in doing various measurements!"
