In the early/mid 1990s, a gigabyte of anime pictures was immense. (I got these at Katsucon 96.) Back then, getting something like this over dial-up would have taken weeks or months.

The Amaryllis, Prism, and M.I.Factory CDs were new and sealed. 10? 15? 20 years before they were opened by my hands?

I dug into this thing since it didn't work. The soldered-in batteries (from 1983) went flat long ago. The insulting part is, direct replacement 123A cells are readily available. I got new ones for the Vivitar, which still works.

I got this a few years ago. 2x16GB of DDR4. The exact same set is still available, except now at $250, about 3x the price.

I have a working VCR again! It works well enough; fast-forward and rewind are a bit weak.
Now I can watch things like... "Legend of Lemnear" on tape.

Here's a grunty old beast of a VCR from 1984. The tuner is analog, and wires everywhere.

Trying to breathe some life back into some old VCRs. Normal people would have just tossed something like this long ago.

Enjoy the aesthetic of a VCR from the late 1980s loading and playing its first tape after a belt replacement.
