    You have produced a unique style on RUclips David with your blend of delving into the past and creating sample libraries for use in the future. So entertaining and generous.

    Seeing you open that thing up and fix it was very satisfying. In an age where we can barely fix our devices for ourselves it was refreshing to see.

    After having taken singing lessons for 1 1/2 yrs, I finally got myself a lil' midi controller to make practicing a bit easier. Seeing these videos really makes me want to learn how to play a bit better so that I can fiddle around with all of these amazing libraries~ Great stuff.

    amazing :D the 'pretty harsh sounding' bit with the AM transmitter sounded pretty much like every intro to an Angels and Airwaves track :) And I mean that in a great way :)

    On the topic of Panasonic... I've worked in broadcast TV production for years. I've worked for Sony houses and Panasonic houses. I have always preferred Panasonic Broadcast Equipment to their competitors and that filters down to consumer items too.

      @scillyautomatic I used to live a couple of miles from the Texas Instruments facility in the early 70s. You couldn't go to a garage sale for decades without finding a Speak and Spell (until the great circuit bending crisis occurred. I'm guilty as charged) or calculators. I've learned that if I get on Ebay within the first 20 minutes of one of David's video releases I can often score whatever wonderful device he's recapped at a reasonable price. I'll go back an hour or so later and see what I call the "Hillowitz Bump Effect" price increase:) This guy saved my life during covid because I'd buy whatever device he had resurrected and then spend hours resurrecting one I had deliberately chosen in worse condition to kill more time. My soldering and woodworking skills massively increased with the practice LOL! Thanks, David:)

    "Embrace the magic of AM radio" Way ahead of you. I built a crystal radio receiver a while back and am currently using a low power transmitter to send signals to it. Work in progress for some months now.

    I would guess that record player is having drive belt slip. Earlier in the record, the stylus is putting more torque on the drive.

    Also, maybe check out the Stylaphone. Bowie actually used one in Space Oddity.

    My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
