Gawd, you made my ears cringe with that... I think my '70 Chevelle SS had one in it. Never bought any 8 tracks, but played one in it once. Almost threw it out the window! Man were those things bad.

Torpedo Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 In Spain we call them "válvulas". In other Spanish speaking countries they call them "tubos", but not in Spain. I rarely see them named valves in English. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 In English, "valves" is used almost exclusively. In American, everyone says "tubes" except for Dusty! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just a normal contraction, for "is truth". (wanders off to Google) Goddammit, now I have to stop using it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 It is like zounds, that used to be used as an exclamation in Marvel and other comics. Actually is a contraction of God's Wounds, a reference to the Crucifixion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 The lovely cassette deck I mentioned above. TBH it wasn't as good sounding as the looks would suggest. Still I recorded a ton of vinyls into cassettes with that machine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
