text: The tape recorders in the 50's and 60's had a hobbyist attraction similar to today's portable video cameras, in fact many of the main producers of tape recorders did not introduce models intended for use in home hi-fi or studio situation until the late 60's when the hobbyist market contracted and almost disappeared but the hi-fi and later the home studio markets exploded (if only to be gobbled up by the Compact Cassette shortly afterwards).
