Amazing what you can find on old Broadcast Carts.....






I have 100s of these things and the machines to play them on. The grandfather of the 8 track cartridge, celebrating 65 years old this year. I have music, PSAs, music, and old commericals on these things. If you ran a radio station from the 1960s into the mid 1990s, you bought into this format. They were replaced by computers, but the format was so prominent, the software was designed to look like a cart machine to assumingly making it easy to make the DJ's understand the computer. Who knows


The funny thing with this one, i'm amazed that this 37 year old spot never got erased as it was traditionally a format to air the spot for the specific dates then erased. In this case, it didn't and that's a good thing.


The narrator was Canadian Actor Percy Rodriguez which was an in demand voice over artist for Movie promotion in the 1970s and 1980s, besides his on screen roles in movies and television. He did the original Jaws trailers and promotion...yeah, we'll being him back for the sequel.
