Cassette recording kit

Abstract

A cassette recording kit for creating audio memories of special events and occasions includes a carrying case, a pair of cassette holders which are insertable into the carrying case, a cassette recorder/player which is placeable into the carrying case with the two cassette holders, and at least one blank cassette for use in the cassette recorder player to record audio. Optionally, spare batteries and/or an AC adapter may be included as part of the kit. The cassette holders are configured to be anchored into the carrying case while being removable therefrom for long-term storage. Long-term storage is achieved by providing, as part of each holder, tabs designed for retention by a conventional three-ring binder. Each tab includes a circular aperture and the spacing between apertures corresponds to the spacing between the rings of the binder.
