They were common in school applications since they were relatively reasonably priced and more or less indestructible. Maybe not the highest fidelity recorder available, but decent sound. <br /><br />Still have a few tapes I made of a friend playing several guitar and bass parts by overdubbing between two Wollies. <br /><br />Also learned tape editing using these machines since the head was easily accessible for marking with grease pencils. Ah, remember those days?<br /><br />Later I bought a used Wollensak 1288 (along with a pair of XAM speakers, which were IIRC EJ Korvette's house brand). Supplanted that with a used Sony 377 and got maybe ten year's use before it started running at half speed...Steve Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450550786810074858noreply@blogger.com
