Has Anyone Ever Seen This Very Early News Tape Recorder?
It was 1960. How did radio reporters gather their news and make sure their quotes were accurate? By using this new fangled tape recorder.
How did it work? That's a good question. The cassette tape wasn't invented until 1963. So what media did this use to record anything? It's not clear from the ad.
Has anyone ever heard of this thing?

I should have known someone else had heard of this machine.
Here's a look at the Midgetape and how it worked using an early metal tape cartridge. I never knew this even existed.
