Tiny 80's Talking View-Master Records Played on a Vintage Turntable!

- SORRY FOR THE LOW VOLUME, WAS TESTING A NEW MIC. WILL SENT MIC BACK! Back in the 80's, View-Master released 33 1/3 rpm floppy records with their picture reels. Here is a demonstration of the "soundsheet" records that were enclosed in a cartridge with the reels. The discs were made by EVA-TONE.
Awesome idea. Thanks for showing. I remember bits from the Brady Bunch - Grand Canyon reels - would like to hear those again.
That's pretty neat. I remember the viewmaster, but I never knew about the ones that had tiny records combined with them.
talking view master. i had one of the first ones to come out back in the early 70's. I wish i still had it today.
those were out in the early 70s
I got some hip pocket records in my cereal when I was little; they were stories, and they were one-sided. When I found the commercially available versions of them on eBay, and those versions were on two sides records. I guess the one sided versions were made for the cereal!
I'm reminded of a filmstrip of The Doobie Brothers performing "Taking It To The Streets". Because the frame-advance tone was timed so oddly, and hard to define from the soundtrack, for years I believed that little "toot" was actually part of the song!😆
I Had A Close & Play Record Player
I Played All My Favorite Records On It.
Buck Owens Conway Twitty & All Those
Early Artists Of Classic Country.
& Boy Did I Go Through The Battery's.
Sounds like Grover said "Have a nice d***!" instead of "Have a nice day!" at 5:13
yass hahaha
Yep, hahahahahaha! I think he did! Hahahahahaha!
When played back on a proper record player, the audio quality is really very good! It's a shame the cheap playback mechanism inside the toy doesn't really do it justice, with wobbly tinny sound...
I'm not sure how then tones work. I'm assuming the high pitched tone is to tell you to move the visual reel on one stop, and the low-pitched tone triggers the player in the toy to pause - but there must be earlier versions of the toy that don't detect the tone (hence the announcement at the end).
@databits the audio for viewmaster reel are recorded on Vinyl records at 33-1/3 RPM that embeddedly on most viewmaster reel that have audio
i knew some one had a original talking view master, i thought the sound was awlful. but now experiencing your video i like the 80's version better as a collector.
I used to have one of these.
I still have a Talking View Master in the box.
I wish all modern turntables had adjustable playback regions like this.
I also wish all modern turntables had CLV and Inside-Out support
That’s a tall order but I can’t disagree!
I wish turntables were june
My talking View Master was older and the records were hard plastic. They tended to tap against the inside of the viewer while they were spinning, and this tended to distort the audio somewhat, occasionally making it difficult to understand the narration. I had a couple of TV reels, as well as a lot of science/nature and tourist attractions like Disneyland. Interesting that the one in the video sounds like it has actual Muppet voices (Jim Henson, Frank Oz) on it. I had a couple of Disney ones where they used cheap imitators of the original character voices.
I remember playing with those at someones house years ago. I think it was a set of view masters of the waltons or something like that.
last year i got a two viewmaster reels of photos of disneyland taken in around the 60s and i view them through a mickey head that has shades on
this is so cool
My Viewmaster 3D with audio must have been newer. The audio portion was made of hard plastic on mine, and it was tough to take apart, and IIRC the center hole kept a piece of plastic in it when I finally did get them separated.
Was yours digital?
I thought those were transparent so the light would shine through them.
Yes, but on a prior version.
Something tells me I should use that soundtrack as the basis for a horror movie...
+Martin Brewer - let me know when you post your movie!
Martin Brewer you have a point; the furry monsters keep disappearing due to a killer killing them
nice record player.. I have the cassette only version of that. I also found an interesting record at the thrift store, a mattel mix and match fun / solar system quiz .. its a small 4" white record with an interesting cut pattern.. it has 40 tracks per side, and every track starts at the begining, and every track ends at the end of the record.. there are 40 notches going around the start of the record, if all that makes sense.. the record is made for some mattel toy player, or something... but I cant find anything on these anywhere.. not that Ive spent alot of time looking though.. it was made in 1981...
theprophetkato That's really cool! That's the kind of crazy stuff I look for! Did you purchase it? Can you post a photo of it online?
databits sure.. after I posted my comment, I read about how there are records in the speak and say's.. and this record is very simmular .. but it's double sided, and has more tracks of audio.. I also love buying the same kind of stuff you do at the thrft store.. but heres a link to the photos.. s135.photobucket.com/user/theprophetkato/library/?sort=3&page=1
theprophetkato I guess I read about the see and say's right under my comment.. lol
interesting demonstration
I have a concern if the talking reels can be separated from the audio disc and at the same time they can be displayed in the Viewmaster viewers without problem?
Did you ever get rid of the mic? If so, could you redo this video with a better one? That would be great!
Neat
Why not scan the ViewMaster slides and make a 3D Slideshow with sound on RUclips from it?
PLEASE REMOVE CARTRIDGE NOW
I had a 1970s Talking View-Master. Mine had clear records attached to the picture reels by the center hole. They were clear so the light could shine thru to the pictures on the reel.
This was one of the reels I had: ruclips.net/video/KbpW4uPxIlk/видео.html
Bugs Bunny TV Trouble.
kermit on vinyl...
If you think this is cooll you should see the video of Kermit doing the David Byrne talking heads song "Once In A Lifetime" it's on RUclips
I know those old See & Says also have little record inside them with concentric tracks. Try one of those next.
IAmNotAFunguy Those things are sealed like a prison. If I find one I'll try it.
databits Those have records inside?? that would be fun to modify
I could hear your mic fine.
SebisGameReviews Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I'm surprised they didn't also make cassette tape versions of this. Or did they?
I’m not aware of a cassette version.
@@databits I always wished they'd make a view master that has either pictures of, or maybe even actual little models of, people in seats inside, to make it look like a little movie theater inside. I wanted to see it with that, and also the door in the back, with the little glowing emergency exit sign. I always thought the thing was meant to basically be a diorama of a movie theater and I always wished they could make one that looks the same inside, so you get that 3D theater experience and it actually plays full movies. I see no reason why they couldn't make that now. To bad they don't use the Viewmaster brand to transition into a brand of virtual reality headsets.
Y’all got any more of them decibels?
Do you have any Flintstones View Master records?
re do this again please this is cool
Re do this? What do you mean?
databits audio better
I thought they came out early 70s and finish early 80s.
I want to buy 1950s turntable
The Funky Junk Has there building for sale now somthing must of happoned because as far as I knew everyone liked the shop me included I just don't know why they had to go out of business!!!!
5:40
You are extremely quiet.
*please remove cartridge now*
...bit jarring after that gentle, everythings better with muppets whimsy...
It's strange, but I really want to hear that Hip-Pocket record now, just to hear if that's the same song as later recorded by Tiffany...
This seems outdated for the 1980s. Just saying.
+Steve Silverman 1983.
+Steve Silverman It's not.You can't have high technology for kids because it breaks under heavy use and certainly not at the price point these sold at. You use what is reliable, not what is newest.
I think it's about right for 1983, using records to play audio in a toy. It could have used tape of course.
no sound? so qiet ... sucks ...
