I did not know about this vintage audio player

Alan Cross 1 Comment 0 min read

I kinda pride myself on my knowledge of obsolete audio technology. If you want to talk about RCA 45-only turntables, Sony’s Elcaset, and DCC units, I’m there with you. But this thing? Nope. Never heard of this German invention from the 1940s called the Tefifon. It’s a “tape report player” that was actually around until 1965. (Via Rick J)
