This is such an "instant classic" peak Techmoan episode. Just needs muppets. Thanks Techmoan.

I never knew that TEAC doesn't rhyme with 'teak'.

This is me of the coziest KZbin channels

Very interesting video. You must have a warehouse full of equipment you've bought over the years?

I WANT 1!!! :P :D Just for those wiggly lines(& it looks LOVELY to) ;)

I've recorded the sound from TV shows, as well as movies from VHS tapes and DVDs, but I've never used a device like this. It looks like it might be fun even with the passing of time. FYI, a KZbin clip of the "Life is not like a bowlful of cherries" seen from the 1994 Kevin Costner movie "The War" has the exact dialogue as what I recorded onto a cassette 20+ years ago.

I wonder if this device would have any use in the realm of audio production, since it has an oscilloscope function.

Why did you not plug in a real antenna?

cant believe im 6 years too late.. this looks so cool..

Man, you could try to feed that with one of yours audio visualisers, use that CRT to display those abstract things

Notification Squad! :D

I hope you did not accept any forced arbitration agreements while setting up the Roku thing

30 years from now researchers will visit a certain university somewhere in England to borrow time on the Techmoan resource where they can do limited nondestructive research on ancient technology to repair or restore an obscure artifact.

So send it to LGR and make him play videogames on it?

That price is a ripoff

Great video. Oh yeah.

It's rare that the FM radio transmits in sync with the TV broadcast nowadays, but it did for some events. I can't remember now, but I guess the Eurovision song contest and things like the Olympics opening ceremony this was a thing in the 80s at least, in Sweden.

Get your hands on the B&o ghetto blaster beosystem 10. The amount of sound that comes out of it almost made me drop it 😮

Fun Fact: Cassette Comeback is back!

14:48 well I gave it a chance and got myself a Discman of this model and it is great and I never tried Atrac3 but it is quite good for the compression it does. The only detail with this model is that it's incompatible with modern headphone plugs like the ones from cellphone handsfree if you get a normal headphone plug or aux cable works fine I guess it is because the way the jack in the device has its contacts in a different position than normal jacks besides that, great unit!

I love how New York in the 70s was so notoriously awful that a reference to it even found its way into a kid’s toy lmao

Wow, another beautiful piece of vintage equipment. Useless these days? Kind of; still worth knowing about it and possibly own one? Absolutely! Thank you for sharing this great content with us and doing a fantastic job at it 🥰

Aiwa Mx 70 system for me 😊

I found one of these in a used shop in Tokyo in 2020 and have loved having it in my HiFi ever since.

In 1979, my roommate was an electrical engineer. He opened the back of my brand new 17" RCA color TV and soldered extra wires onto the speaker terminals going out to RCA plugs. Having TV sound through the stereo, even if it was only mono, was amazing to us.

Wow, the auto translation: "If you need to clean the inside of your TV to remove cracks, cracks, and dust, please ask your flower vase store"

I feel like the hum and sounds is what makes it feel vintage

I watched the first 5 minutes of this video and realized I don't actually care.

Will the puppets ever return?

I don't care how good it sounds, there is ZERO excuse for a turntable of that price. It's nothing more than an idiot tax for the SEVERELY gullible.

As a teenager I was gifted my uncle’s old Grundig reel-to-reel tape deck. The first thing I found on it was him shushing my gran as he tried to record the audio from a Sammy Davis Jr. show in the 60s by sitting the microphone close to the TV speaker.

Very interesting device! I had no idea something like that ever existed. Thanks for showing it to us!

You don't need the 75-ohm 300-ohm transformer. That clamp under the VHF input is for the shield of your 75-ohm coaxial cable. You would clamp the shield there and then connect the center conductor either to that bar with the two screws right above it, or possibly to one of the 300 ohm terminals and the bar with the two screws is a switch to enable the 75 ohm mode. This is the way 75 ohm coax worked on many devices before the F connector was standardized. This made it simple to run the coax down from your antenna and terminate it at your television without needing a F-connector crimper or splitter.

Thank you same mine i figure out how to change the belt because of your video..

😊

Another Great Video

I used to hang a microphone to the speaker via the channel know to audio record programs.

I used to record the audio off the TV by putting the microphone up to the speaker with my own contraption to keep out background noise onto a 3" reel-to-reel tape recorder.
