Playtape Cartridge Tape Player, Model 1320, 1966-1968

The Playtape was a two-track audiotape player system designed by Frank Stanton in 1966. He marketed this device as a portable music player and a business dictation machine. Its 24-minute cartridges typically played two or four songs on a continuous loop. The Playtape was successful among youth, however, the introduction of the eight-track player caused its popularity to be short-lived.
