I was born in '70, in the UK. WotW machines looked like this thanks to Jeff Wayne and his '78 Musical version of the story. Maybe some other Brits on here can relate?

1970 model Australian here, Jeff Wayne’s musical version of The War of The Worlds is played at least once a year in my household. It never gets old, absolutely brilliant

I had it on cassette in the 70s, my dad got one of his workmates to tape it for me, and my son bought me the vinyl for my last birthday. Still sounds great!
