Added 2016-05-11 17:21:09 +0000 UTCThe 4K video file is still processing on youtube - but lower resolutions (including HD) are working fine.

Ive never seen one of these in the wild. I did see a lot of 19" 2u machines that had 4 cassette decks. And even a system with four 8 track cart players. Of course the 90s brought CD players with multiple discs, and subscription to satellite radio services. An interesting piece of tech. Thanks for sharing.

2016-05-14 17:43:11 +0000 UTCIn hindsight despite the entertainment value it seems like this one may be a bit too off the wall to get the audience it would need to pay for itself. I've had a few videos go slightly viral recently when sites like gizmodo reposted them. Perhaps BGM isn't the kind of thing too many people are interested in. I enjoyed playing around with the equipment though, so can't win them all. I think I'll have to make a few normal vids for a while to pay the bills.
