Laugh Out Loud




fatdog - 2008-09-14 15:53

Wow! I haven't even thought of one of those in ages. Cool

masterblaster84 - 2008-09-14 16:03

Definitely on my long forgotten list. Cool

oldskool69 - 2008-09-14 16:53

You just might be the last great Starfighter as well! Laugh Out Loud

But really, that's awsome! Somebody knew that "Hey there will be guys who collect these and maybe the rewinds or fast forwards won't work..." Smile

ford93 - 2008-09-14 17:03

Looks to be for old people.

reli - 2008-09-14 17:13

It's for saving batteries, and wear and tear on the motor and belts. Especially after longer-length tapes started becoming popular. Also, it's just a lot faster - it can rewind a 90-minute tape from one end to another in only 30-40 seconds!

thats sort of awesome --
makes us all wonder what ELSE royal has over there !! Big Grin

reli - 2008-09-15 18:32

NICE dude.......real nice. Tell me though, are you O.G. enough to actually USE one Nod Yes

isolator42 - 2008-09-16 01:42

I have one too.
Mine doesn't have the full cassette shape, just two spindles for the tape reels to attach to & the winding mechanism. Used to use it all the time. Even though I used rechargeable batteries, I didn't want them running out too early.
Remember how quickly NiCads gave up when they went flat? Little or no warning... not nice.

walkgirl - 2008-09-16 02:16

walkgirl - 2008-09-17 05:54

Big Grin

The pencil is broken!, and the finger!

redbenjoe - 2008-09-17 06:17

yet another easy solution is this way ::

if you have all crappy music --
that you never want to hear again --

no need to ever rewind anything.

Smile (i rule)

joe.cool - 2008-09-17 06:45

For sore fingers and broken pencils everywhere...NO rewinding necessary-ever!

Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-09-17 07:10

SPEED !!!!
did anyone here mention speed ?

try the new hitachi audiophile job --with variable speeds and adjustable torque settings-

90 minutes = 8 seconds (more or less) Big Grin

Eek Man Ira, just 'bout spewed coffee all over my monitor...which aint cool, cuz...I'm at work! Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud

joe.cool - 2008-09-17 09:39

BTW...I think your model wins in both categories...automatic, and speed (variable or otherwise)! Laugh Out Loud

eric - 2008-09-17 10:07

Does it come with a free scooter....I mean tape holder or is that extra Laugh Out Loud

redbenjoe - 2008-09-17 11:04

no eric -- but it does come with a dozen free tape repair kits!! Laugh Out Loud

redbenjoe - 2008-09-17 11:26

hey eric and JC --

no sh1t -- this rig works perfectly -- never fails.

but 'dont try this at home' before you apply these 2 procedures :

1. practice on your friends tapes , FIRST---
until you master the feel of the V.S. trigger.

2. the best 'safety clutch' --
(until you get good) Smile is to use a smooth round pencil ,
and leave the chuck just slightly loose.

this is NO B.S.

Huh? Confused I dunno Ira, I thought it was the B.est S.ystem so far... Laugh Out Loud
...and hopefully those who try it-have lots of friends so they can perfect their skill...before trying this at home! Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-09-17 12:44

JC --this is just more evidence to support that theory ::
"you can never have too many friends"

and, a further method of finding out 'who your REAL friends are ' Big Grin

peter.griffin - 2008-09-17 12:49

wow, what a great thread. Lots of laughsSmile

JC, I remember doing that with my tapes as a kid. Didn't that put the tape out of alignment?

joe.cool - 2008-09-17 13:11

No Peter, but I think it put my finger out of alignment...permanatly! Laugh Out Loud

It was cool...to stick the pencil in the hub, and give the shell a whack...and watch it spin around! Eek Leaving (Just kidding)! Big Grin
