The wedding video was β€˜87. I’m guessing this it β€˜88. That’s as close as I’ve got so far.

Been working on a Betamax Digitising Job this afternoon

I always run the tapes to end, you sometimes find something that’s been forgotten

About 10 mins after the Wedding Video finishes, in all its Analogue Glory

About 30 mins of Ceefax in Vision

Oh happy days

Yes yes, I am grabbing it

Distronics - Southwater. My mates mum did Nightshift Packing there

Seems she had some sort of allergy. She had to take box of Kleenex Man Size to work, every night

The box never emptied & was always heavier than when she went in. About the weight of 6 to 8 CDs

Like that Cleaner in HMV….πŸ˜‰

That’s not a garage, it’s a wedge

Anyway, you need to keep guard till that’s collected. Theres room for @scribbler1888.bsky.social to dump a ton of records in there yet.

Yep. Way too much shite!

Got three versions of that BMS, the last picture

Bet you’re pleased you picked the Seafood Restaurant Entrepreneur, over the AV nerd now aren’t you.

To be fair, he has way more hair & looks fine in a smashing blouse. I, have neither quality

Karl, if you see this
As young apprentice, my buddy installed the first BMS 1000 in UK.
In a hotel, he put it on top of a fridge. Not realising, every time someone open / closed the door, it skipped
He was sent back the next day β€œand use your brain this time boy”
Wished he’d written stuff down!!

This is maybe the only advantage of eBay now doing β€œbuyers protection / fees”
Those pricks that used to drop ship from Amazon, the eBay price makes it dearer that Amazon now
