Makes sense, a 33 LP size would have made a huge gash in the dash.
I do remember the first tape shake out where there were the ultimate
winner eight track, a four track that was basically the broadcast
standard cart, and some other forgotten contender.
For nostalgia; remember the early spring type mechanical reverb units
that would go boing when you crossed the tracks too fast?


Yeah, and if I remember correctly, one could hit or tap them for the same
effect.
