I have seen a few YouTube clips of songs with scratches for the old timers out there

I quite liked them tbh

I have what was apparently once called a "music centre" - it plays records, CDs, and tapes. But I only own the first two.

…I’m coming to your place for dinner…:laugh:…the sign of a great dinner party as well is when a stylus sticks on a record being played ….but no one notices because the chat is so great and engrossing…

I don’t ever recall having a snapped tape tbh

It would not have occurred to sellotape it though as it wouldn’t sound perfect .. perfection is everything of course [emoji3]

Well when you're a teenager in the 90's tapes are valuable and perfection is a luxury

When it got twisted up I usually gave it up and let my cat play with it :laugh: That was so fun. We didn't have things like cellotape sitting around... my family only knew masking tape and Scotch tape.
