That's why I do it...psst...I need it too!

Having sold Ford’s for 50yrs, the Mustang cracked me up. Cassette and dipstick were great too. Thanks. We all need a little levity now.

Owning Two Stereo stores during those days, I had to do that countless times.

The Cassette Tape Surgical Procedure had me in stitches.
Thank you Carl.

Agree.

...and when he's not chewing it up you can stick pins in it!...........VOOOOOODO!

I gotta get old Fred one of those chew toys.

That was the 2hp model!...no stripes or side pipes though.

Ah, but it's fun to watch them tear it apart!

Vinyl garden hoses became popular in the mid to late '50s. I was born in 1952 and by 1960 vinyl hoses were popular in my neighborhood when I was 8. Yes, I drank from them back then. I remember some people still had rubber hoses as well and water through them didn't taste all that great, either. I don't use vinyl hoses today as the more rubber-like hoses are more flexible especially when the weather gets colder.

You get it immediately as soon as you realize those are cassettes.

Vinyl? The garden hoses I drank from (50's and 60's) were rubber, but yes, they did taste awful and yet acceptable on a hot Texas day.

That’s the proverbial wall of sound.👍🏻

Took me a minute, but pulled up a memory of using a pencil, or watching someone, use the pencil to unravel a tangled tape. No, wrong! using the pencil to pull the tape out, but using the pencil in the rewind hole!

The 2.5R's don't come up for sale often.
The IIIa's are the same vintage, a little larger with slightly better bass.
Don't know your location but

They need a $200 easy DIY repair if the seller's description is truthful.
I understand that the Eminent LFT-8b has a similar sound to Maggies, but I haven't heard them. They are still being manufactured in Tallahassee, FL.

Have been looking around saw some on Ebay not!! but will keep on looking : ))

You're welcome. They are vintage speakers (1980's), but the company in MN still provides service if needed.

Thank you for the information and product link : )))

Yup... worked best with the eraser-end of the pencil.

I prefer really large speakers to get a realistic sound. I have these in my listening room.

They put a vocalist/musician right there, like I'm in the front row of a club without the cigarette smoke and high priced drinks.

Bought one of the best "phones" back in the day could not stand that weight on my head and plastic around my ears and still can not tolerate lighter now plugs in my ears.

The Amish Mustang: did Carroll Shelby make a Shelby GT version?
😄😄😄

Joe Biden "chew toy".. c'mon.. even my DOG has standards...

Push the pencil through one of the cassette holes.
Twirl to rewind or ffwd.

btw, the 'first time' was with speakers. (Phones came later with rock that parents couldn't stand to hear.)
