I'm finally back from my holiday and whilst the majority of this video was made before I went away, I've spent an extra day on it to make some improvements. 

I've also brought the outro name roll of honour bang up to date, so if you think your name is missing please let me know. 

Whilst Patrons get to see this new video this week, the youtube subscribers will be getting an updated version of the laser projector video that you got to see over a month ago. Thanks to your feedback I decided to pull that project out of the recycling bin and after making significant changes, it's (just about) good enough to release. If you want to see the updated version - here's the link  https://youtu.be/nPzeglKFgMs

Now that I'm back I plan to start on a few more complicated projects, some of which may take me longer than a week to finish - so we'll see how that goes, anyway while it was great to get away, it's even better to be back.

UPDATE - As a result of the feedback, I've replaced the video above with an updated version that now includes references to other endless loop tape systems as well as info on and links to the database of Pocket Rockers titles. Thanks again for your input.

Pocket Rockers - 1980s endless loop tapes for kids

In the late 1980s all the cool kids were wearing mini Genesis tapes as jewellery - well at least that's what Fisher Price hoped would happen.

Well in Germany my friends and I could go in a record store in the mid 80s (I was born in 1979) because they stored the explicit records and tapes in the back. But as Mat said, we normaly recorded radio programs and my first walkman was a Sony machine. Still own it and it's still working. That's how good electronics from that time periode were!

If these could also record, I suppose you’d have the analog equivalent of the Yak Bak, which came out in the 90’s. There’s another one for you, I suppose.
