Walkman (well microtape recorder - close enough) 2. Betamax 35. Home Movie Projectors Today, I actually will be using: 6. Turntables 36. Vinyl Records In the past month, I have played: 39. 8 Track I have physically seen the device within the last two days: 1. “Super 8/8mm” Handheld Video Cameras 4.
