Which is the World’s oldest Tape Recorder? by Sri Kanchi Paramacharya Mahaswami
#Thread
Once way back in 1940s/50s someone was conducting an interview with Kanchi Mahaperiyava. That gentleman recorded the interview in a Tape recorder.
@KanchiMatham @AnuSatheesh5 @Vadicwarrior Periyava then posed a question:
“Does anyone know which is the oldest known tape recorder?”
