I know I double posted again, but Al probably paid 4x as much as you paid for that portastudio.
It actually had a retail price of $899.
The Portastudio was an all-in-wonder recording solution that sported many features found on the professional recorders and mixers of the day. Each channel in the 4 x 2 mixer had its own fader and pan, bass, treble, trim, aux send, and mic/line controls; also, tracks could be "ping-ponged," and users could overdub and punch record parts for days. The 20-pound Model 144 was a heavyweight when compared to the analog Portastudios of today, but the ability to carry it to gigs and do remote recording with a couple of mics was a blessing to anyone in the late 1970s.

That is about 30 seconds out of the box. I had to wait to get it before I could get the dimensions to make a box. And no Dave, no tapes. All it came with was the recorder itself, the original warranty card and the picture included. Al didnt have the box or instructions, but he had the warranty card. I guess thats why he's called "Weird" And on a side note, when I pulled it out of the box Eva looked at the picture and said, "Daddy, whats Wee Ow Weekowic doing with your thing?" Then she kept going back to the picture and staring at it and said, "Daddy, who is Wee Ow Weekowics friend?"

You're gonna take a walk in the rain and you're gonna get wet... I predict.
I now own both of the Holiday Greetings Records with Als greeting on them, and I got a Eat it 45 from the UK that looks like its a promo but I can't tell
