I recorded tons of music from the radio onto cassettes as a kid, and I listened to the cassettes on a bona fide Walkman (oooh, another one for the lineup!) as recently as seventh grade. I still use VHS tapes for quickly recording television shows for my non-technology-inclined mother, although her VCR no longer has a manual tracking adjustment, as it automagically does it.
Oh how much I remember the joy or being four or five years old and figuring out that the "Tracking Adjustment" buttons on the VCR made the static go away. 
Walkman: The original portable music player. Usually consisted of an audio cassette player and an AM/FM radio tuner, although later models substituted the cassettes for audio CDs. Almost entirely replaced by iPods in the middle of the '00s decade.
And a few more I just thought of:
Duck and Cover: Oh no, it's the flash! Quick,
duck and cover!
Fallout Shelter: Underground bunkers built in public buildings in the Cold War era from 1940s to the 1960s from fear of an nuclear bomb attack.
