Quick and random question - have you ever seen/heard of "The Blue Book of Quality Merchandise" by Bennett Brothers? I have the 1978 version, 630 pages hardbound. It has "suggested retail prices" for electronics and other products. I have some sample pics from the pages if you want to take a look.
No, I was unaware of this until now.
Just joined your Patreon, love the extras!
I’m glad you’re here and also happy that you’re enjoying the added nonsense.
Long time viewer of the channel, going on about 5 years now (time flies too fast). I think the first video watched was "Cassettes better than you don't remember". Only recently joined your Patreon and am impressed with your extra commentary on top of the videos. :)
Many thanks for signing up. Glad you’re enjoying the extras.
It appears to be a Panasonic RS-241car stereo with a rare different aftermarket faceplate. I can’t find any pictures online but its service manual is on ebay and the blurry picture on the cover appears to be the same unit.
Doh, it was in the trivia page for the film all along.
Hey Mat, I was watching Cleopatra Jones (1973) and at about 44:00 or so in she puts a standard cassette into the player in her corvette and only inserts the bottom half of the cassette. It starts playing still sticking out, even after an audible click is heard like it was locked into the proper position for play. Is that just a design of player I am unaware of or was it a special movie thing? Its kind of like how the play mechanism in the carousal cassette looks except sidewise and it didn’t go inside as deep.
It says Panasonic Solid State on it. Had a bit of a search but didn't turn up that exact model. But this is a Panasonic as well and appears to accept the cassette in the same way. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163644956135
