Great minds think alike, Reli. :yes: I've been doing this too.
Its just impossible to fill every boombox with a reel cassette. :no:
And prices of those cassettes are getting higher & higher. :yes:

Getting ready to go to bed...while the retired, semi retired sit and post all night, then all day while we work... ;-) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Aside from the drivel I just typed, that's a cool idea Reli. And I had forgot about those old K-Mart brand tapes. The labels came in yellow, red, green, gray, and black. Possibly gray too. :-)

I don't know about minds, but that's pretty good eyesight. Because I sure thought it was one of those sticks they use to push the rafts around vietnam and the amazon.

I must say though that when it comes to the old man, there's often method to the perceived madness. Me thinks Ira is trying to make sure the gangsters don't steal his boombox, so in that case, Yep! That'll do it. :yes: :lol:

Yeah!
Big fan of doing this, love going through my tapes to find the 'right' one to enhance the aesthetics on a boombox.

Can often get much nicer colour ways than using reels, as they're fairly limited in the colours they come in.



Rock On.
