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.

not far from the Cambodian border, living in a tent surrounded by sandbags. Much to our surprise, he brought his Akai reel-to-reel deck with him. It had an 8-track port in the side. Friggin’ unreal, considering our living conditions. Anyway, I had just repaired the 120 VAC 60 cycle convenience generator for the Army Advisory team on the small base, so we had the luxury of some stateside music every now snd then, including Judy Collins. As an aside, the generator I maintained for our radar system was 120VAC 400 cycle.

Because of the heart failure, they are keeping me on the knife edge of dehydration with diuretics. My doctor recently upped my weekly dose of Mounjaro to fight the diabetes caused by the diuretics, which for three weeks in a row caused, well, let's skip the graphic description and say that I quickly became dehydrated. I had a regular doctor's appointment scheduled for 9 am yesterday, and my doctor took one look at me and sent me straight to the ER with an express admission form to get an IV.
My kidney function is back to normal for me as of this morning's lab work, but the potassium is still too low to let me leave today. The poor nurse this shift has been slammed with no PCA and psycho woman with a service animal who needs constant attention a few doors down. On the bright side, I negotiated myself off of NPO to chicken broth to solid food in less than 24 hours, which is a hospital record for me.....
