18 year old me would have absolutely gone bonkers to behold such wonders
A selection of TDK Cassette Tapes

Acquired these are part of a job lot, all in original TDK Boxes, though they don’t match the Cassettes

Since when did eBay become bloody Amazon?
Endless stream of Dickhead buying stuff, then “I don’t like it” “I ordered the wrong thing” “I’ve changed my mind” clearly using it & then claiming it’s broken & wanting a refund.
Has the whole world gone to shit & everywhere is full of arseholes?
Oh, ok

New #RetroTech arrival at AVAV Towers
No Brand Name, no manufacturer marks. But, it’s a #LaserDisc Player**, it says so on it
It takes Discs of different sizes, has play button. The music is better than Don Estelle
There must be an RF Chip in the Discs, I’ve not got that far, yet

This year we wanted to have a charitable fundraising element to #Vinylsanta . We picked a charity that supports actors in memory of frequent #Vinylsanta and #Weekendsingles participant @golfyfun.bsky.social who passed away this year. If you have the means please consider making a donation.
It's our 10th #VinylSanta and we wanted to include a charity option.
We've set up a fundraiser in memory of VS & #weekendsingles regular, well loved member of our community and background actor Vince Williams @golfyfun.bsky.social.
