No... a bit more modern

I have some old Ampexes, but not THAT old. :) They are lovely, though.

Note the Lyrec tape counter on the right... I had one like that once, but it would only count up, never down... perhaps was meant to measure the inflation. Interesting piece, actually.

BTW, the machine in your picture cost $64K in today's money when it was originally sold in 1948, I believe... purchased by Bing Crosby, who single handedly launched the company.
