The Reverberator, or Reverb, generates a controlled "echo" to give the music (or whatever else) the sound of being played in a large venue, such as an auditorium or arena.

It gave the early recordings a fuller sound that is engineered into modern recordings.

 

We called them the "Muntz Blue Light" and yes, they were stolen as fast as you could install them..... Remember beating the crap out of the cartridges on your knee when they would seize up?

 

This months Hemmings has an article about 4 tracks. My sister had one back in the sixties. I've never seen another since. The picture of the player in the article is the exact one she had.

 

Sorry Jim, but I have not been able to find the 4 track player yet. I have too much stored away in boxes. Not even my wife has been able to find it, though she did find some more 4 track tapes. Eventually when I find it I will post a picture of it. It is likely I put it in that safe keeping spot where all my other lost stuff is.

 

Was that album of the month thing called "Columbia House"? I got sucked into that one back in the day.

 

Was that album of the month called " Columbia House"? If so I fell for that back in the day. Of course you got all the albums you really wanted when you pasted all those stickers on the sheet for the free or almost free ones. Then you ended up with a bunch of stuff you didn't want anyway paying full price for them, right.

Carful Ted, once you start going thru old boxes Its hard to stop, and could end up in a big yard sale. This thread kinda got me excited to the point that I ended up on EBAY. Then I remembered what a pain they were when they were new, I can only imagine how frustrating they would be today. LOL

 

The reverberator made the radio sound like a music hall in your car, the echo was awesome when working right. Close your eyes, and you thought you were in a big empty building.
