cassette tape record player

The idea was to make a record player using a tape player circuit. Let the motors and gears from the walkman turn the record. I wanted to cover the record in cassette tape so instead of using a needle to make sound I could use a tape head. This attempt was not successful because I was to sloppy and relied to much on cardboard and hot glue. Also, the cassette tape didn't work to well going in circles. We decided we have to Edison style and use tubes, that way we could have longer or shorter tape loops depending on the width of the tube. And then from that point making a mellowman esque instrument is definitely possible by just adding more tape heads. More on that when the time comes.
