Sorta. Bill Lear initially designed a continuous loop *wire*
recorder/player.

I remember seeing a 4 track mono cart player where the tracks were
selected manually which was said to have come from a Lear jet.

Mad Man Muntz morphed the radio station Fidelipac
cartridge player into a consumer product.

Indeed - it's obvious by the dimensions of the cart that it was based on
the pro device.

Bill Lear came back later,
became a distributor for Muntz, and sold it to Ford, Motorola, and
RCA.
