Although I (at age 16) and my four girl cousins and their girlfriends had many fun times listening to top rock 'n roll tunes on the reel to reel tape recorder I purchased with the proceeds from the sale of my AF trains, I still have some regrets! That recorder cost $250 in 1958 dollars, and it had three speakers. I later added a third playback head and converted it to stereo, and used an external amp/speaker combo in addition to its own speakers for the full stereo sound. At that time, you could purchase prerecorded stereo tapes. This led to my acquiring a good quality hysteresis-synchronus turntable with a strobe disc and a $100 Rek-O-Kut tone arm, plus an additional amp and speaker for some awesome stereo sound.
