I remember my first one.
I was traveling on Government business. I would always have to ask the motel if they accepted Government rate for per diem. They always would.
I was in Tulsa and went out to do a little looking around. I stopped at Service Merchandise and noticed a Sanyo on clearance.
When I got back to the motel I played a tape and was really surprised how good it sounded. Later bought a Sony which was more expensive but didn’t sound any better. I think my Daughter still uses it or maybe my Grandchildren. There was an FM radio built in too.
gosh remember service merchandise?
Had a friend who was store manager at age 19 or 20.
