A proper video this week featuring a device from one of my favourite categories - background music systems.

https://youtu.be/PJakX_-HBqY

You might be aware how much I like exploring these systems. Since there are only a few interesting BGM devices left to show, I like to take my time to document them for future generations (whether they want me to or not).

As a result of my enthusiasm these videos end up being way too long for anyone with a compromised attention span. So in an attempt to pre-empt any such concerns, I've made an abridged version as well, link in the YouTube description ;-)

I'll also mention that due to the considerable amount of music in this video, there is a high probability that I'll be forced to re-upload it with alternative audio. If at any point you find that this video is unavailable - don’t be concerned, I’ll be working on a revised version behind the scenes.

Anyway I hope you enjoy it, take care.

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. If you want to see the videos early too, you can sign up to Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan
