EDIT - Link added - (apologies for the double notification).

If you liked the first episode of this series looking at the tape recorders used in the 1960s/'70s TV Series then you might also enjoy this one.

Hope your January is going well. This is always a weird time of year for youtubers as advert revenue falls off a cliff at the start of each year. If you've been doing this for a while it's not a surprise - however the first time you see a January video bringing in a quarter of the revenue of one released in December you can't help but wonder what you've done wrong.

I suspect this seasonal slump applies to many businesses - I spent a night in a motel near my parents house last week. When I was there two weeks before Christmas it was packed full of business people - this time I was their only guest. A member of staff I spoke to said that companies like to re-evaluate their spending at the beginning of each year, so guest numbers traditionally reduce, but they'd never had it this quiet. The service in the restaurant was good though.

UPDATE - Re-edited the intro (new version above). Apparently I'd broken the 180º rule. So mirrored a couple of shots to fix this cinematic faux pas. Took the opportunity to do a few micro nip and tucks to this section too.
