I couldn’t wait to show you these - a fascinating little piece of history, brand new in box…well they were until I opened them.

When I next get the chance I’ll do a Patreon catch-up video. I’ll include a word or two about the behind the scenes disruption that might result in a few shorter videos popping up in the feed.

I’d prefer to leave that for now…because today I’m able to bring you a video about one of the most interesting pieces of Retrotech I’ve acquired for quite some time. I can almost guarantee that you’ve never seen one (or more) of these before.

Sony's forgotten ‘80s VideoPhone

Many people now carry a videophone in their pocket (whether they use this feature or not) - but it's been a long road getting here. This video looks at Sony's Face-to-Face - a $499 video picture-phone from the late 1980s. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

FAQ Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today? A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan 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. APOLOGIES - for the ‘busy hands’…I only noticed this during editing. I’ll work on keeping them under control in the future.
