Description: Part 2 - here youtu.be/sGWuVMo7ZEs This was mistakenly advertised as a Karaoke machine. It isn’t a Karaoke machine. Nevertheless I took a punt on buying it as I had the feeling that I owned the unusual cartridges it plays. In this video you can see if my hunch paid off and learn more about a rare format through an even rarer player. My earlier video about this format youtu.be/Q_9IBIcsYj4 UPDATES: I) The machine appears to date from approx 1976. A helpful person on Patron spotted a date code on the speaker. II) Crown? Weren’t they a US/U.K. brand? (delete as applicable) - not this Crown commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Crown_(audio_brand) 00:00 Start 00:40 The machine 02:16 HiPac? 07:37 What did it do? 10:31 How did it work? 12:48 The 50/60Hz issue 15:44 A look inside 22:20 Cart player mech 26:22 Blather 28:20 A load of carts 30:10 Inside a cart 31:51 Internal speaker 32:45 Blank carts & recording 37:03 Summary 38:43 Patreon credits --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

A) Patrons patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.
