My Mom used to make whipped cream from scratch. Heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar. Then she'd whip it up with the dual paddle hand mixer. You had to be quick to get one of the paddles to "clean" off.

We can still buy milk in glass bottles here, from a small regional dairy. No delivery though, and they collect a $3.00 bottle deposit on each one.....

Not allowed to touch the device when it was spooling fast forward or fast backwards. A matter of keeping all fingers and the tapes intact.

I started with open-reel audio in 1965 and continued to record for about 20 years. That X-700R had dbx noise reduction. It was probably my 10th open reel recorder. Now I feel old...

I have my dad's reel deck. According to my mother, he purchased it in 1976, made one tape then it went in long term storage with their F & E as they were transferred overseas. When they rotated back to Canada, he was into CDs and the deck never saw the light of day again. I also still have the tape he made but I figured it's probably unplayable. It makes a nice conversation piece. And speaking of DBX, I also have three units in boxes. A DBX3BX, a sub-harmonic synthetizer and a DBX router.

1965 - Sony tape recorder with speakers 1966 - Akai tape recorder with speakers 1971 - Teac tape deck (top-of-the-line A7010 with 10.5" reels) 1973 - Sansui tape deck (quadrophonic QD5500S) 1974 - Another Sansui QD5500S deck 1975 - Pioneer RT-1020 (10.5" reel-capable) tape deck 1977 - Teac A-4300SX tape deck 1981 - Teac X-7R tape deck 1989 - Teac X-700R tape deck Speaking as a layman, I thought the highest quality tape decks in the 1970s were the Sansui units: They were rock-solid. Although I bought 4-channel units, I don't think I ever used them in 4-channel mode. But I think Sansui did not play in the open-reel arena for long. What made this all possible was the insanely low prices I could buy audio equipment for in the military exchanges -- basically half of the U.S. list price. I would buy a piece of audio gear (tape deck or turntable or receiver), use it for a year or two and then resell it for about what I had paid. I suspect your Dad and other Canadian forces members had a similar good deal going on during their European tours of duty.

to repair. Its not rocket science. As I’ve whined about it in the past, the brainy students I was around at our local university didn’t know one end of a screwdriver from another. Or if a rare few did, they’d get a blister in the palm of their hand using it.
