The mid ‘70s party in a box
Added 2021-07-10 10:49:37 +0000 UTCI spotted an interesting looking boxed set of ‘stuff’ on the Japanese auctions. Here’s a video about what this is and what it does. As well as linking neatly with some earlier videos, this one opens a window on the nascent days of a cultural phenomenon.
I hope the YouTube feedback for this video goes on to show there’s sufficient interest in this subject as I do have other devices I’d like to demonstrate that fall within the same category. Unfortunately the last time I covered something in this area, that video flopped. So we’ll see. On YouTube the only guaranteed certainty is complete randomness.
I trust your July 2021 is going fine. While I’ve got little of note to report, this shouldn’t prevent me from shooting a new rambling Patreon update video very soon.
EXTRA PATREON EXCLUSIVE VIDEO : 'Skip Intro' has another dodgy VHD for you on his channel. A never shown outside Japan (probably) 1987 documentary about special effects wizard Douglas Trumbull. There’s a full description over on YouTube https://youtu.be/8ZX7RynZRjU

The looks sold me on it too. It’s an intriguingly appealing case of stuff.
