A little bit later than planned - here’s my (long) look at a classic Boombox - the RC-M90.

https://youtu.be/MTq4-fHFSk8

To get myself back on track, if there are no issues  I may make this video live on youtube on Sunday.

To make up for any reduced window of patreon exclusivity, since I’ve still got everything set up for the to-camera sections I’ve recorded for this video, I’ll try to get right on and shoot a new Patreon update next.

Take it easy and have a good week.

UPDATE: I’m adding a few seconds to the video to better explain the difference between the mic controls on the Japanese and US model as I can see I didn’t do a good job first time. As a result I’ve disabled the comments over on youtube.  

UPDATE 2: The new version has now uploaded but currently only available in 1080p - the updated section starts at 09:10 https://youtu.be/MTq4-fHFSk8 - when UHD has processed, I'll swap this for the embedded one.

UPDATE 3: The UHD re-up has processed and since a good proportion of comments on the original video were relating to the section I'd reworded  - I've decided to kill the original and embed the new one instead.

A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.

Great video Matt.. As always, interesting and informative... You don't disappoint. While I'm sure it would mortify a true collector, I think if I had one of these I'd install LEDs to illuminate the dial and VU meters. I updated the VU meters in an old tape-deck recently by painting the needles with nail varnish which glows brightly under UV light and installed a couple of 405nm leds in each meter - hardly affects the face of the meter but makes the needles very noticeable...

Have you ever considered laying down an alternate sound-track using the tracks you'd like to have played if it hadn't been for YT content-matching, and render a separate video for your patrons only? Just a thought..
