Content

This was a nice little project. An unusual piece of retro-tech, BNIB, working perfectly, simple to demonstrate and yet still interesting enough to be worth showing.

Here’s the video https://youtu.be/74C9h3KO7KQ

I'd be interested to know if anyone has any recollection of ever encountering one of these in the wild. I'd be very surprised if they have.

Hope everyone is good, take it easy and look after yourself.

UPDATE: Re-uploaded

I’ve reinstated some dialog that was previously cut. Hopefully this makes the video flow better.

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.
