Oh, for the felt pad. Issue here is, the tape is missing. ๐Ÿ˜‹

I don't think the usual size is big enough to properly turn the wheels. ๐Ÿค“

Phone's microphone does not do this Sony, or Kate, justice. But with a big flywheel and seemingly a belt made of unobtainium, and despite having a mono head, this sounds better than most newcomers. No shade on keeping the format alive, more of a sadness. I should mod a headphone out to it...

That's a fact, on the springy thingy. Inside, dremel might be needed... Electronics are OK, luckily. ๐Ÿ‘

Welp. Managed to finish this, pretty good, actually. I need a kit to repair these things. The glue just gave out.

Always satisfying, but the best one I've had, returned a random amount of bottles, went around the shop, no shopping list, just what caught my eye. At the till, after the bottle return sum had been deducted, the amount came to, 0.00โ‚ฌ. "Seriously?", I said to the cashier. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Sheesh. I plopped in some AA's just for test, no worky. When I plopped them out, ten or so seconds later, they were hot. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Likely, price might be a deterrent. I'd imagine Sony used this style of connector few times, so they should be out there. AV out connectors seem standard, at least.

And finally, few vinyls. Already have the Black album, but it has a huge gouge on it. Wonderful Life is at my top 5 songs, ever, so at 1โ‚ฌ, a no brainer.

Plus this HP camera. Lens seems to be stuck, and given the tinfoil-wire botch in the battery compartment, I suspect power might have been cut. See if I can't fix it, or at least botch better. ๐Ÿค“

Thrifted a Sony miniDV camera. No cables, which are proprietary, unsure if I can charge the battery. It does look familiar, and I have a point and shoot from the same era. Shall see...

Hmm, perhaps back then the decision was, that game has a cool cover, that's the one I want. Older and wiser, one is more informed, reads reviews, and knows the cover ain't the game.

I've been told several times, that I have a good radio voice. I have no idea what to do with this information.

It's funny seeing Anthony Perkins in such, light. No, he's not going to kill anyone. Radiation will.
