RE: Tape recorder mini museum in Madison

Now there's a blast from the past!

Full Compass was a small but decent recording studio run by Jonathan Lipp. After college, I wanted to move to "the big city" (Madison), and that was one of the places I went. He didn't have a job for me, but he put me in touch with a locally-based rock band which would need a new sound engineer soon. They hired me, and I moved to "the big city".

Fast forward a few years, and Jonathan started Full Compass Systems just down the street from a hifi dealer where I was working. It was a "store-front" type of place. We weren't competitors - he was selling sound reinforcement and recording gear, and I was selling hifi. Fast forward even further, and the next thing you know, Jonathan had turned his once-modest business into the huge business it has been for at least the past 30+ years. I've been to their facility seveeral times.
