Wow, that looks like a serious bit

I have a Roctec from back in the day.

Repairing a Roctec Floppy Drive for an Amiga - Lyonsden Blog

Should probably check that drive belt hasn't disintegrated all over the insides.

One of my friends had several because he and his brother liked playing Dune and it was quite a few disks.

Funnily enough I sold a belt drive turntable today, so I thought I would try out an old Aiwa tape deck and that is in need of new belts I feel, as it was FFW and RW'ing incredibly slowly and wouldn't play at all.

I don't know much about VCRs or I'd refurb it. It's one of my "antiques of the future" .

Certainly over here they became rare as vhs won the battle, A friend of mine had a Sony one for a while, but soon switched as tape price and film availability was far better on vhs.
I would keep it if I was you, it could be worth Dollars for your grand kids one day

Look at vinyl You couldn't give it away 10 years ago, today I got £200 for my turntable and that was letting it go cheap.

Yep, I've sold, given away or refused stuff which I regret.

That Atari ST 1024FM with all accessories, one owner, £50, last year haunts me. He literally chucked it in a skip because I thought it was a bit steep, until I looked on eBay. I could have made room for it.

I'm not even interested in selling things now, more interested in repair, refurbishment and learning something about the technology while doing it.

Don't let the Mrs here that she'll be packing all My stuff and sending it You.

LMAO, I need additional shelving as it is, and that's for my living room...

The Mrs likes trying to shelve My stuff in the wheelie bin, I'm very often found routing in it before bin day.

I once posessed a video disc player which had a sort of stylus, which touched the disc (looked like vinyl) ive still got a load of films, but the player has left the building.

Over the last several weeks, ive happened across (in work) an old mechanical Ferguson Videostar, a Video2000 and a Umatic. Trouble was, the were all battered up (gutted)

Argh! Error 403 loading Magic Dragon.

What's that?

It was working for Me last night, has it gone down?

Mines down, gutted. Hopefully it isn't another takedown.

Just had a look around, apparently the Dev is aware, and working on it.

Do you know if there is any 24/7 channels on DeathStar?

 

[sneaker]

Do you mean live channels? if so look in DNA. Devastation has a 24/7 section.

Just channels where a series is on loop, saves me having to decide on episodes .
