Just so you know...German engineer Fritz Pfleumer invented magnetic audio tape in 1927. So why isn't he famous? Without him, hipsters everywhere wouldn't have cassettes to fondle & not play in 2023. #FritzPfleumer #SayHisName #MagneticTape #CassetteCulture #audiotape #inventor

This 1978 TDK Head Demagnetizer proves that, while the jury is still out on whether tape head demagnetizing is necessary, results don't matter when the tool just looks this plain awesome. #CassetteTapes #headdemagnetizer #TDK #70s
