A topless Technics RS-B355 cassette deck
A lovely Technics tape desk back in working order. A couple of replacement belts and freed up a sticky solenoid.
Tested with a little David Gilmour :-)
Sinclair ZX81
I still have a ZX81 knocking around. Rarely fire it up these days though.
The Stud Soundtrack LP
An odd choice perhaps for a Friday afternoon listen, but a great soundtrack album for an odd film from the 1970's.

Sony Mini Mini Disc Walkman MZ-N710
Still have three MD players.
Here's one of them!
BBM - Around The Next Dream, LP
Now playing...
Around The Next Dream - BBM
Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Gary Moore, from 1994
Always had a soft spot for this record.
Freshly baked open reel tapes
A little bit of baking this morning.
Tape baking, I mean.

Teach A-3340S 4-track tape deck
This New Year's Eve I be mostly doing ancient tape transfers!
Bring on the Isopropyl Alcohol and cotton buds!
For the curious, its a Teac A-3340S 4-track 1/4" tape desk from the early 1970s.
Christmas greeting on a BBC Micro
Merry Christmas everyone!
It even still works too! Oddly the AM reception on it is amongst the best reception on any radio I have in the house!
For a bit of fun, I did run a music video I made for a mate's charity christmas single through it, for that proper vintage look!

Crickey, that's niche.....
BBC Master Compact Computer
I love my Masters, I have a couple but I mostly have my Compact set up. Always really loved that mad little old thing.
HP 3438A Digital Multimeter - front
HP 3438A Digital Multimeter - back
This is a fab find, lovely working HP 3438A Digital Multimeter I plan to put to some good use!
Spotted the HP-IB interface port around the back so now I'm on the lookout for the Acorn IEEE488 cheese wedge interface so I can hook it up to one of my BBCs!
Crown TV/Radio receiver from 1970
I was very surprised when I fired up this lovely old Crown TV/Radio set from 1970, that it still worked! ....and remarkable radio reception on it too.
Managed to pull in Radio Derby on AM. A feat that some of my more modern digital tuned radio receivers can't do from where I live!
In today's episode of 'Cool Stuff That Comes My Way'
...this wonderful Sinclair Digital Multimeter, from way back when!
and just look at that beautiful display!
My dad bought a TRS-80 Model 1 Level 2 and used it to control theatre stage lighting with an electronic interface he built, so that was the first computer I used. My favourite was the computer that replaced the Tandy, a BBC B.
Ah. I have that very book!
Lovely tape transfer project came my way.
A collection of tapes from local music legend Les Hunt. Most dating back to the dim and distant 1970s.
First one is a live recording of a gig in 1978.
Cotton buds and a bottle of IPA at the ready! These old tapes make a mess of the playback heads!
If IKEA made BBC Micros.
Technics SL-L20 Turntable
A lovely bit of hi-fi kit found its way to me this past week.
A Technics SU-V550 Stereo Amplifier, SL-L20 Turntable and an RS-B355 Tape Deck.
This stuff was so dirty. A lot of cleaning required and a replacement drive belt for the turntable.
The tape deck needs belts too, but one job at a time!
If you can get hold of one, a Gravis Ultrasound will lift the sound and music in Doom to another level!
Quote post this with a picture of the aircraft you’ll accept as a bribe.
Imagine being on this flight...

Turns out a friend of mine was on it! Everyone ok, but very much as they say, a 'brown trouser' moment.
Beautiful to look at! Impossible to play! 🤣
Kids today with their inkjets and laser printers just don’t understand the horror 😂
I'm feeling quite left out tbh.
Fortunately I've nothing code-wise that's in any way important! But I'm often surprised that floppy discs have survived as well as they have! I mean we were pretty flippant with them back in the day.
Thanks Kevin, that actually sounds quite therapeutic! Useful to know. Maybe I should take a peek at some of my floppies and see what state they're in. Though I did get rid of my Wabash discs many moons ago!
What do you clean them with? Iso alcohol or does that fetch the magnetic coating off?
Signed!
