My Friends And I Found This Wollensak 3M Reel-to-Reel Tape Recorder Today @ The Abandoned Olympia Brewery!

Hive account@sandpiper, Keegan, and myself took some time today to go explore the abandoned brewery. It was awesome and eerie, as usual. While walking down a dark tunnel leading to one of the main buildings of the complex, we found this old tape recorder sitting on a ledge off to the side. We didn’t pick it up at first, but as we were leaving, Hive account@sandpiper picked it up and carried it out.

This thing was made in the early 60s, and this particular device is in a truly awful condition. Regardless, it’s fucking awesome, and it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Why would it be at the brewery, especially in the tunnel that we found it in alongside all of the useless junk? What was recorded on it back in the day? Could it be repaired and used again someday?

If you’re curious about the abandoned brewery I’m talking about, you can check out my previous posts I made about my adventures there with my buddy Johnny:
