Philips' definitely-not compact Cassette

While we’re all familiar with the Philips Compact Cassette and many of us are aware of their smaller dictation focused Mini Cassette - I’d like to introduce you to a lesser known member of their cassette family from the 1960s - Philips Flippin’ Massive Cassette.

Getting hold of one of the tapes was one thing - getting a machine to play it took way more effort than I could have imagined.

I’ve been working on this repair for almost two weeks, hence the delay in posting the video to Patreon. At times it seemed like I’d bitten off way more than I could chew. Right up until the last day I was still unsure whether I’d have anything to show for all the hours I’d put in. I hope you enjoy it.

Also enjoy the rest of the week, take care and have some fun.

That jam at the end was just my kind of thing

maybe just release a small bit of the music for the patrons?

That was a bit of an oddysey! Well done for having the patience to get it working. I’m wondering just how many other weird and wacky media formats are left.
