Mission Impossible’s Tape Recorders #3 (Patreon)

It’s been quite the wait, but finally, here’s Part 3 of my series looking at the tape recorders used to provide the briefings at the start of the original Mission Impossible TV series.

While I’m here, my merchandise chap tells me that he is running a discount during the traditionally quiet sales months of February and March. If you enter the code TECHMOAN15 at checkout you get 15% off. Here’s the merch store link https://nerdkeyz.etsy.com/

That’s enough high pressure sales stuff from me, I hope you’re all doing fine. I’ve just found out that there are posts in the community chat room thingy here on Patreon. I didn’t have the notifications enabled as it would swamp my email inbox…however the flip-side of this is that I forgot the chat room was there. When I get the chance I’ll go back and read through what I’ve missed. Apologies if anyone was expecting a quick response.

Take care and enjoy the rest of your week.

UPDATE - Swapped the video out:

Added an overlay regarding the speed control capabilities, altered the pitch of my tape VO (something I’d always intended to do, but forgotten), trimmed the section of the child’s recording on the tape because I felt it was running a bit long. After uploading the second edit I found that a MI clip oddly content-matched on this re-up (but didn’t on the original upload). As a result I’ve trimmed this clip and re-upped the video again. Fingers crossed this one stays unmatched but I’ll have to keep my eye on it and if there are any other matches further re-edits will be needed before this video goes live.

UPDATE 2

Snipped out five seconds and added another overlay to eliminate confusion.
Re-upped the video.
