A behind the scenes ramble about importing vintage technology from Japan. The sometimes high-stakes tech gamble where you may find gems amongst the junk.

I've said this on YouTube and I'll say it here: this machine is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting this!

They’ve been selling for silly money recently, so I was fortunate to get this one when I did.

Ah, I can see the “Tomorrow’s World” approach now you mention it. It’s that very approach that’s made your channel a success and the fact you shrug off the comments with good humour. I’m a Projectionist for a living (thankfully counteracting all the very things that you used to suffer back in your cinema-going days) and I used to see that mentality in some of the older people I used to work with. They’d rather show off, then explain and every comment was an opportunity for them to correct you or to shoehorn in their own “expertise”. You can’t learn with that attitude I find which is sad. You’ll probably find a lot of them are fellow techies with poor social skills. (Your Mr. Pedant character is drippingly spot on!) The very reason why I favour your videos is your friendly approach and the fact you take the audience in with you and I think that “wonder” in something (for want of a better phrase) is why we love the videos and why they are a bigger success than most, your music analogy perfectly encapsulating that. As I say, I’m proud to support your channel.
