Let's not forget the one of the most impressive components of the 50's recorder

The Microphone

This is typical of the hand held crystal microphones supplied with your recorder. The microphone was the device used to create the audio memories and fun. We concealed the microphone and engaged others in conversation, and played it back. Often the first time people heard their own recorded voices. The comment was, "Do I Sound Like That?" We recorded everything, just like we take pictures today with our video recorders. These reel to reels were our hi-tech recording devices of the day.
