That camera flash brings back memories. How about the rotating flash cube....

I burned my fingers on one of those flash bulbs when I was a kid!

Personally had very little trouble with that (and knew how to fix/splice, if I did).
I had a Sony deck 2-ish models up from that one and it never ate a tape.
Started with a Realistic that ate about 3 in the 6 years I had it.
However, those prerecorded tapes were generally not of a very good quality.
I preferred to buy vinyl and use Maxell UDS II (after extensive cost vs quality testing).
Also practiced "safe tape insertion" and refused to put my package into a known tape eating deck or low quality deck.
With EQ, level control, and a dolby trick, I could make a tape that sounded better than the vinyl it came from and also make a decent stereo system sound better than it was.

Its very dangerous to stand so close to a steam raditator
