I’d normally leave a bit more of a gap between retro-tech videos than this, but I’ve been tripping over this thing on the floor of my ‘studio’ for weeks, so to create a bit of much needed space I’ve expedited this. 

There should be a loosely connected part-two to follow in a few days… so far I’ve got about 5 mins of rough cut video that I shot six months which  probably now needs re-shooting. 

Whenever I’m demonstrating old audio devices there’s always the potential threat of automatic music content match and take-down requests hanging over them. Something like this would be a devil to re-edit and remove the music, so I’ve got my fingers crossed that this doesn’t happen. By having you see the video here early in a controlled environment it’s a good way to see if anything like this occurs.

I’ll probably be rolling this out to the general public on Tuesday morning.

Hope you enjoy it.

RetroTech: Seeburg 1000 BMS1 Background Music System (1959-1986)

Background music machines once derided are now collected. The BMS1 featured in this video might be the most collectable of the lot. Part 2 is approx 5% complete at the time of typing - I plan to have it finished within the next 4-5 days.

Again, another slick, informative and entertaining slice of retrotech (is that a word?)...

Great content as always! A bit weird though, felt like you were speaking to me somehow ("Seeburg" is how you pronounce my last name). Keep up the good work.

I know how that feels, for a while we had neighbours with a young child who had my name - every time they shouted it, I flinched.

I think it is - someone tried to tell me that they'd invented it, but they'd 'let me use it' on my videos - I linked them to an article from about 10 years ago that used it and then told them where to get off.
