What a cool machine. I didn't know there were r2r video recorders! So nice to see the technology so visible. At my primary school they had the...
Yep, D6920 has the cheesy gears. Those gears are now completely crumbled. But luckily you can now just buy replacement sprockets. I have no...
Never heard of this TV show. Like James, I hardly watch TV but sure gonna watch this if its packed with boomboxes :)
