As to what it's played on,
What about the end that goes into the machine? the end of which exposes the magnetic tape?
Could you post a picture of that, Would be cool to record them and share them with the collector community.

Hi Georges
I've heard these! They were used at our sales meetings back in 1968 when I was selling the 1205. I was only 17 at the time. Our branch office had a special player for them.
Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I'm the CD age! Have a tape player in my car at the moment, has one of those horrible tape-aux things in. Does the job though!
Noticed you already said they were not 8 track size, sorry! Maybe it's some proprietry size that never took off. Got any old music shops nearby?

Show a picture of one of the "cassettes" removed from the wood case and its cardboard sleeve-then maybe we could identify what tape format it is and the machine that could play these.In those older days RCA and others introduced tape formats-like early 60's and late fifties so that folks didn't have to thread RR tapes and machines.

Electrolux tapes
These were audio/video tapes from about the 1205 era and were in every Elux salesroom for instruction at the morning meetings and training new hires. They were with what I think was a Fairchild (?) brand player with screen built in above. Many car dealers had similar tapes and players. They show what is now vintage homes, clothing, cars and Electrolux demos. Branches later had 'modern' VCR for salesroom and microfiche reader in service dept.
Would be great to see these on original player or possibly converted to disc!

Electrolux tapes-more
Before the above Elux used filmstrips alongside records that would 'beep' when it was time to advance the projector.I have heard but do not have a record.Never seen the filmstrips.--Just after the above there was a narrower,larger rectangular set of cassetes covering the Super J & Olympia for similar players.--Then the VCR.

Some filmstips came with cassettes rather than records-I have a filmstrip about the US flag that has a cassette with it instead of a record.Somewhere in my stuff I have a filmstrip projector that someone gave me.Just haven't found it yet-been thru several moves.Was a nice classroom Graflex one or something like that.How many of us can remember "filmstrip" shows from school??or how 'bout "movie" time when the teacher acted as the projectionist-or asked a student to do it(usually the "nerd" of the class)I was asked to do the projectionist thing on some occasions!And you had to set up the screen and such-remember those days!That made school FUN!
