Record

oh yes.

this is a cassette tape recorder.

unused in the original box.

with microphone and cassette tape included.

toy car, booze and cigarettes not included.

hilarious and curious graphics required purchasing this box at an estate sale recently. 

I knew the boys would think it was hilarious too.

Gus won't let me sell it right now.

i wonder what he will use it for?

hanging an x-ray light box to convert to a "watch your step" sign,
