If anyone remembers the guy who saved a Polaroid factory through kickstarter 11 years ago, he's back and has made a "a home vinyl recorder": https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phonocut/phonocut-home-vinyl-recorder
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t involved in Impossible Project which restarted Polaroid production from scratch in Enschende, and went on to buy Polaroid’s trademarks and now make Polaroid films and cameras. However, this idea is amazing
I think you're correct, this was his old project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1755997589/one-instant-analog-packfilm-re-invented
Ah! I stand corrected. Florian Caps was indeed involved in Enschende and founded Impossible Project! Apologies. Mans a genius.
To quote the Kickstarter article "Since the invention of records in 1889, mankind has been dreaming of an affordable machine to produce small editions of high quality records right on top of the office desk, or even the living room table. Today, more than 120 years later, the production of records is still locked up behind the walls of pressing plants." To quote Top Gun "Bullsh*t" If you have watched the Film "The King's Speech" you will know that home disc cutting machines existed before Tape recorders. In fact here is a whole article about Disc Cutting Booths that were popular before Tape Recorders became affordable. http://www.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/history-those-recording-studio-booths/ In the 1960s there was a more up to date version of one of these booths at the main railway station in Bristol UK. I remember it because my parents put my sister and myself in it and we recorded our own version of the Beatles, Yellow Submarine which was a popular song at the time. I'm not sure what happened to the disc although I think it was a present for my Grandmother.
to be fair, in any kickstarter video, the whole point of the video isn't to be factually correct, rather to sell a story/emotion, and showcase the value proposition of the item being sold.
