I started off this week catching up on general admin. So when it got to Wednesday lunchtime and I had nothing recorded for this week I decided that this should be a week without a video.

For a while I’ve been thinking about moving to a less rigid schedule. I want to base things more around how long a video takes to make rather than trying to fit each one to a week.

It turned out though that towards the end of the week there was sufficient time to make a less elaborate video, so here it is.

Allocating the usual amount of time to this subject would have been overkill, so it all worked out in the end. I think maybe should change that thumbnail though, once/if inspiration strikes.

Update:

Added in new sections that might clarify some things.

Update 2: Removed the first 25 seconds to make me appear more fun.  

Update 3: Yet another update - this time to correct details regarding the BGM tape speed

Hipac - Fixes, fails and a flash of inspiration

I've been playing around with getting my 'Hipac' BGM player to work at the right speed. Can swapping a capacitor really change the speed of a motor? I put that to the test and learn a couple of things along the way. --------------- 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.

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.

Your videos on HiPac stuff has me feeling quite fond of the format for some reason. I love that luggable car version you’ve got. Perhaps it’s nostalgia because my grandfather had an 8-track(similar?) player in the den. It sounded great playing Pet Sounds until the tape snapped.

Amazed that someone missed the point of these videos exploring formats so badly to suggest streaming. These old formats have character to them that I never get tired of.
