A Belt From Gates Radio? RW rip of 'before Tapecaster Cart Machines'.

I remember for years wanting a Tapecaster Cart Machine, that didn't look like it came from a war-zone. But, by September 1994, that wanting vanished with MiniDisc, to do the same thing as a cart machine. BTW, the bad thing about the Tapecasters is that it was a dirty format, where you had to clean the tape path's in the machines. That, was rarely, if ever, done at many stations. I've been asked by friends, in broadcasting, to visit them to use isopropanol and cotton swabs to do just that, especially college stations. That Gates Belt-Type spot Player sounded pretty reliable, but Tapecaster won-out for decades. (Boomer! Thanks, again...)
