"Good Morning Mr. Phelps... This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds."

These were the original style Boomboxes I think. No radio. My Favourite TV program as a child was "Mision Impossible". I wanted a little tape recorder like the one that self destructed on the opening of the show. Well, I got a little smaller portable "Juliet" japanese brand recorder for Christmas- brand spanking new in the box - when I was a little kid. That began my love affair with everything re;ated to tape( I have a nice collection of High end reel to reels and high end cassete decks.
I just found this old nicely preserved portable R2R deck deck> thought you guys may be interested. I'd like to find a smaller portable like my first Juliet I fell in love with.
