Hi, I've taken a photo of the horsephonic mounted, note that there's no saddle as I've sold it to a friend 4 years ago, so the components are not very well positioned and the breeching behind the haunches is a bit too low, however, I've turned the thing on and played one program while I was posing. The antenna is actually non functional in this photo, and I've used it only two times when I used the FM tuner cartridge (that now is disassembled in a tin can due to a tuning cord breakage) However, here you can see what the horsephonic looked when I walked through small towns and countryside with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston, Christie and other similar cool tapes playing loud.

giddyup-up-up-and-awaaaay

I love the 2-XL buttons - looks like you can vote to keep or reject the 8 track cassette. Bet that machine would only ever play the true metal of Judas Priest, and not the false metal of Twisted Sister.

That 2-XL should have had it's own TV show, a la "Buck Rogers In the 25th Century". For the Dads, Erin Gray would've been the eye candy, Dirk Benedict would've done for the gays, and 2-XL would've been Tweekie. Beedee-beedee-beedee.

floatingslowly · 07.20.2009, 01:53 PM

^^^ only on the newer versions. mine was matte.

ps: want to rep melly soooo bad.
pps: who would play Hawk???

^^^I forgot about him! I'll go for Malcolm McDowell.

If I owned an 8-track player, I would really really want the 8 track version of "Metal Machine Music" - Lester Bangs used to play his 8-track of this opus in his car.
