The Philips BMS2600 BGM system.
Added 2022-05-10 20:05:46 +0000 UTCA proper video this week featuring a device from one of my favourite categories - background music systems.

You might be aware how much I like exploring these systems. Since there are only a few interesting BGM devices left to show, I like to take my time to document them for future generations (whether they want me to or not).
As a result of my enthusiasm these videos end up being way too long for anyone with a compromised attention span. So in an attempt to pre-empt any such concerns, I've made an abridged version as well, link in the YouTube description ;-)
I'll also mention that due to the considerable amount of music in this video, there is a high probability that I'll be forced to re-upload it with alternative audio. If at any point you find that this video is unavailable - don’t be concerned, I’ll be working on a revised version behind the scenes.
Anyway I hope you enjoy it, take care.

Late to the party as always, lol.. Seems to me that 1/4" tape could easily have supported 8 mono tracks, maybe even 12 - a full day's trading without repeat for many businesses. I'm sure the quality would've been adequate given the use-case...
