FAQ
Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons 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.
PFAQ (Predicted FAQ)
Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning?
A) A cheese sandwich indicates that this is a quickly-assembled video with few frills. There might be the odd dodgy edit and/or sound glitch.

Given what friends preserving quadraphonic 8 tracks have told me, these 8 tracks will have needed a lot of work. The foam pad will have crumbled away, and the splice will need renewing before it comes undone. Some tapes need respooling (maybe these people just reject those since the tape content is irrelevant), and the lubricant that allows pulling from the reel centre may either need replacing or redistributing. 8 track is definitely not an archival format.

Back in the dim dark ages of the 80's when I first started working, there was a gentleman in the office who'd, every payday, make his way of to his favorite record store. About an hour later he'd return with several bags each containing a couple of LP records. I once asked him how many records he had, his reply has stayed with me all these years. It was "I don't know. What I do know is I've got several lifetimes worth of music and memories here. I'm going to continue to buy and listen to all this beautiful music until I die." That was very true back then and even more so today.

Before uni, I spent a year repairing TVs, videos and audio gear. All of it was shop returns (from Rumbelows). Stuff people had brought back for a refund, swapped because it was faulty etc. I think we must have acquired a dozen or so CDs that customers had left in the player, and countless VHS cassettes. No way to track the original owner. There's only so much you can do with half a dozen Brothers in Arms CDs mind you. Decent disc for using to test equipment though.

I would like to thank you for teaching us about all these different "vintage" formats and showing yourself tinkering with broken players. As a matter of fact, I learned from the techniques you used to fix broken cassette players and successfully fixed my grandma's Walkman (yes, she still uses cassettes and we prefer it that way because digital devices are confusing for her and she gets stressed easily)! As per your videos, of course the belt had turned into sticky paste, so I replaced it with a rubber band (not everyone has spare Walkman belts on hand and my grandma was leaving for vacation the next day). Unfortunately the motor doesn't have as much torque as it used to so it sometimes gets stuck on really old tapes, but for the most part it works brilliantly!

Those metal cassettes sounded nice! I remember recording my own albums on chrome tape using either three-head AKAIs or Nakamichi. Usually from half-speed vinyl. Came out great, but then Mobile Fidelity came out with their half-speed mastered BASF chrome cassettes on Nakamichi recorders. Fantastic sound! Loved those things while driving in the 80's... Cool batch of media there.. Thanks for sharing! Stu

The Pointer Sisters Break Out album is my favorite. I’ve never seen an 8 track version of that album. I would have bought it even though I don’t have a player nor do I need an 8 track. That was awesome to see

Saturday morning is only Saturday morning with a new techmoan. Oh NO reel to reel - I spend my days looking at reel to reels available for sale (while in reality the thing thats stopping me is why? What would I use such an expensive thing for?) I’ve got my record player a nice ‘dual ‘ I refurbished myself my minidisc and ……. Well not yet a reel to reel . The quality of reel to reel is drawing me in ……. lol. Thanks David 🏴

Camera of sound is such a weird concept. Things like that Synthwave 2 album are what prompted me to make a "how to make a cassette mixtape in 2021" vid a few months ago, it's an art that's being lost thanks to all digital music! Cheers Techmoan for the new video :)

Hate a Techmoan video? Impossible says I! These videos are the best part of my Saturday. Learn something new about a piece of kit or media format from before my time or during. It is almost always something on the fringe of my understanding/recollection but always well done.
