A buddy of mine in high school had a mint 1963 Ford Thunderbird with an under dash 8 track player. He owned two 8 tracks: Led Zep II and Steppenwolf’s Greatest Hits. These would be played repeatedly on the way to and from high school dances. Hey, remember those? Guys on one side of the gymnasium with girls on the other? Your heart would pound in anticipation of asking the best looking girl for a twirl. The fear of rejection was always tempered by using this classic line after a girl said “no thanks”: “Don’t thank me, thank god that someone asked you to dance”.

Any older audiophile worth his/her salt owned a pair of these classics. I could only afford the Small Advents. I recall reading that they didn’t measure worth a darn, but they sounded right. They had the cool audiophile vibe.

It was no Dapper Dan, but a darn sight better than my mother's Dippidy-Do...

My two most prizes possessions:

The Hopalong Cassidy night light that was in my bedroom in 1950 when I was 2 years old

And a 1977 Jeep Wagoneer, bought new and still my daily driver

We were the first in my extended family to get a VCR. Pretty sure it was this particular model.

Dynaco made several hundred thousand pairs of A25s. I had a set that looked similar to these:

There are outfits that make kits that reproduce the original drivers, but I'm not spending $800 on nostalgia.
