The Clown’s Handbag
Added 2021-08-07 15:01:17 +0000 UTCA review of two ‘Amazon Basics’ Boomboxes. Things go about as well as you’d expect.
In my last update I mentioned I’d need to make some simple videos in an attempt to catch up. This is another one of those. The handy thing with review videos is that if something goes wrong, it still forms part of the review. Whereas If I’m making a video where I’m attempting to repair something and then that goes wrong - well I’ve got to try and fix it.
Hopefully I’ll have something more intriguing to show you next time. It’ll probably be a few days late though due to me being away from home for most of the next week.
Oh, I ended up unlisting the Pac-Man short video as it just caused confusion. If anything similar crops up again in the future I'll just post it here on Patreon as an extra.
Take care.

That's huge! Who'd find the space for it? Really neat though. I saw this one recently (https://youtu.be/IwsepELI1AI) and I've never seen anything like it before - a double-deck cassette mechanism?

Play is not even flush with the other buttons. Stuff like that makes me sad for some reason. The biggest shocker is that for not that much more money one could pick up that gorgeous Panasonic you recommended! I think black model displays "NO" as variety of existential honesty, as in "No. Just NO."
