  • I wish EVERY Gen X 80s kid could have had a cassette winder like I did! Or would you have rather just used the pencil? I still use this today!

    I always used the trusty eraser side of a pencil. Never knew there was a tool for it.

    I did that thing where you stuck your pinky in and spun the cassette round like a yoyo.

    I always struggled to use the tip of my pinky finger. I did not have a pencil or a tape winder 😉

    I wish I had one of those as a kid! I remember I got a Beastie Boys tape in 1987, and right after i listened to the 4th or 5th song, the tape was completely ruined.

    A 'BIC' ballpoint pen is and was better than a pencil, as it has a tapered body and could be inserted in the hole without passing completely through it. Pencils would be a popular choice for American kids to rewind their tapes, as American school children were/are required to use pencils and not ink pens for their work, for some reason. Cheers.

    I have never seen one of those. And I'm 57. Very cool and handy. I got 5 -6 cassette tape players, and they all have gobbled up a tape. So the tapes are on standby.

    Scissors or a pencil or pen if it was the right shape and if the tape split I would open up the cassette tape and stick both ends of the tape together with a small bit of sticky tape this operation could take a few to several attempts

    ummm dude, you don't just put the pencil tip in and use it to push the little spikes, you push the pencil in further and use the body of the pencil as it catches all of spikes, then you just spin the pencil, just like your little knob does. lmao

    Hey, wow, what, huh?? Say, Weird Paul, you’re talking too high tech for my meager tastes! A cassette rewinder knobby? I used the eraser tip side of a trusty no 2 pencil. Worked fine by me, after my pinky failed to do the job. Speaking of pencils, teachers always used to push the no 2s on us. Pencils had to be no2, or you were penalized for breaking the law! Why was that? How many numbered pencils were there, or still are?? Why did they come in a uniform color??? No rainbow variety a la Crayola???? Let us take a moment to ponder the hard questions. Together. Here.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

      Teachers still require #2 pencils. And not only that, my grandson's school requires Ticonderoga pencils only. I never pondered why pencils were yellow... maybe to match the school bus. Ticonderoga #2 pencils also come in black wood silver or pastels. But I'm going to assume alternate colors are not allowed by the pencil police at his school. ✏✏✏✏✏✏✏

Oh I heard rumors of some magical device to rewind cassettes without using your pinky or pencil, but I presumed as others that it was lore or someone was doing a little too much LDS in the 60. 🤯
