That style enclosure was readily available as a project box.
BTW, did you see that early solid state B/W Zenith portable, behind the Airline portable.  |
Yeah they are the rarest of the quad record decoders that were originally marketed in the US. I got mine for under 15$ at an anti-q shoppe a few years back (probably the latter Bush years), and it was only this year that I saw another for sale in person. It was the first consumer quad record format available and did not get much support beyond Radio Shack. I've only been able to find about 4 records for my unit in all this time, and most of them were Realistic brand. I would imagine that on rarity alone the decoders must be worth a pretty penny considering what stuff of the more common formats goes for.
I never knew that those cases were available as project boxes...interesting.
That could be a Zenith back there...With how obscured it is in that pic I completely missed it.
