I'm guessing that your Hondas have cassette players...still the OE ones? Given their vintage I can't help but think of the Nachamichi (?SP?) units I had back then...

Yes.. made by Alpine. They work well too.

Ha! Still have a Nachamichi Dragon. Made a lot of tapes for people, they had no idea what that thing could do with a good tape.

Ah, IIRC those were sorta pricey for their time!

Yeah and I'm not all that red faced about it. 3 head, auto azimuth in both directions (NAAC) in an auto reverse player was quite a feat in the day. One of few cassette decks that could be mentioned in the same sentence as quality reel to reel players. I know I've spent more on what was supposed to be truly high end audio equipment and felt like I got less. It was one of those things that you had to be there to get it. No doubt it dates me.

Wonder if it still works?

 

[Accumulator]

GearHead_1- Well, I generally advocate buying the best you can afford and then keeping it forever, so I wouldn't be redfaced about it either

Were the LPs in one of your usual places or did you run across them someplace new?

Regarding the HotWheels you just found, I *still* can't see "1983" as being vintage
