Does Anybody Still Have or Collect These Items?

[HeIsRisen2018]

Or anything antique like this? My mom used to have a record player along with a whole entire record collection so that's the only reason why I know what that is. My Pawpaw also used to record tape cassettes for me when I was a kid and some of them still work believe it or not.

We have a bunch of "Adventures in Odyssey" episodes on cassette we still listen to.
We have two victrolas. Ours are a cabinet type.
We don't have any 8 track tapes though. That was a terrible format.
All our family videos are on VHS and we really need to get them digitized.

That's neat, I heard of that show before. I haven't had VHS for years though. All of my movies are either DVD or Blu-ray.

By the way, I remember that when I was a kid I used to love recording my own songs, shows, and commercials. Anybody else that liked to do that?

How about a hand cranked ice cream maker with a wooden bucket?

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Mmm... yummy ice cream.

Or a foot pedaled parlor pump organ circa 1867?

Our house is almost entirely antiques. Except appliances and upholstered couches. We had antique couches too for a long time but they were too uncomfortable.

My brother and I did. A friend and I used to fool with a reel to reel tape recorder that was before the invention of cassettes.

I was going through my room just yesterday and have old cassette tapes. Mostly Adventures in Odysee, I listened to them every night before bed for some years in my childhood and early teens.

I feel old lol. Record albums and 8 Track tapes were still in vogue when I was growing up. I have a bunch of old record albums, mainly for the artwork. Have a tone of home cassette players.

I still have a few reel to reel recorders. They can often command high $$$ if a deluxe model and in good working or restored condition.
