Default Re: History Of Philips EL33XX Series Cassette Recorder

Just to emphasise my determination for my project, what is driving me on is trying to imagine the moment when someone at Philips must have had a "Light Bulb" moment and, instead of making the established and popular reel to reel machines, for which there was an established & popular market and to conceive this radical machine.

Not just the concept but the whole "lock stock & barrel" design, engineering, a new format the whole thing would involve.

Why, if Steve Jobs of Apple and his "i" products brought him and the company so much fame, didn't the designer/s at Philips get the same industry accolade?!
