Original 1908 gramophone record! "The New Taximeter Car" about that novelty, the taxi! (fisheye)
zhlédnutí 29Před 2 měsíci
"It's better than taking a trip to Spain, Or having your honeymoon over again" - "Do it in style for eightpence a mile in the taximeter car"! That's, apparently, what a certain Mr. Johnny Wakefield had to say about that wonderful invention, the taxi, in 1908. Here the original disc is played on a Paillard gramophone, made in Switzerland, filmed with a fisheye effect.
Prisoniero Tango (1929) on an old Paillard gramophone (made in Switzerland)
zhlédnutí 40Před 3 měsíci
Original 78 rpm shellac record played on a period-appropriate gramophone. Paillard was one of the largest Swiss manufacturers of gramophones, radios, and also typewriters (under the Hermes brand) and motion picture cameras (Paillard-Bolex). "Prisoniero" by Orquesta Tipica Francisco Canaro was released in 1929 on the Odeon label. Note, as shown in this video, that you need to change the steel ne...
Mupi Cinevisor & Projector - made in Italy ca. 1980
zhlédnutí 298Před 5 měsíci
The "Cinevisor & Projector", also known as the "Corgi Movie Vision", is using cassettes with short loops of Super 8 mm film. It has adjustable speed, can play in forward and reverse mode, and lets you choose between viewing the film on its screen or projecting it from the side by flicking a mirror switch. This particular model is powered by *four* D cell batteries. I think that Mupi of Italy wa...

Leisurely Sunday walk to Moutier, Switzerland
zhlédnutí 198Před 3 lety
Places in order of appearance: Crémines-Zoo, Corcelles, Crémines, Grandval, Belprahon, Moutier. These are villages and a town in the Bernese Jura (as of February 2021 - no political statement intended), Switzerland. This video is a kind of experiment: I wanted to see how well filming a walk with a head-mounted wearable camera (Ordro EP6) works. Not terribly well, as it turned out - there's stil...
Barrier at Im Holz station, Solothurn-Moutier line (April 2020)
zhlédnutí 97Před 3 lety
An evening in April 2020: Barrier closing, a train passing. The train is a Stadler GTW, originally in Regionalverkehr Mittelland (RM) red, later painted with the BLS logo still in its original dark-red livery, and then sold to SBB subsidiary THURBO for later use in Eastern Switzerland and repainted in their livery, but currently still in use in its original domain. - Sorry for the crackling at ...
A Jolly Sailor - Soviet 78 rpm disc, Russian folk song
zhlédnutí 366Před 3 lety
"A Jolly Sailor" / "Развесёлый морячок". Russian folk song. Played and digitised with a cheap record player of the infamously ubiquitous rubbish design, but at least using a proper 78 rpm stylus! Apparently a 1949 Leningrad recording. 0:00 Introduction / disclaimer 1:00 Song with some noise reduction 3:28 Same song without noise reduction
C64: Original and "The C64" maxi, mini - quick comparison
zhlédnutí 408Před 3 lety
A quick comparison of the original Commodore 64 and "The C64" replicas - the newer one with full-size, working keyboard as well as the earlier "C64 mini" release, and the joysticks that come with them. This is just about the "look and feel", not a test of how well these work.

Filmed on VHS-C in 1998. The ship is "Norröna" (I), formerly "Gustav Vasa", now "Logos Hope", built in 1973.

Holy hell what a horrible, lost opportunity. Worst comparison yet, I mean NO SOUNDS during the keyboard tapping?
i droved 1993 from Danmark to Iceland. Very stormy. But a great time
Great video
Thanks for sharing! In 1996 we visited Iceland with our motorcaravan and crossing the North Sea aboard the Norrona was an experience we will never forget <3
Thank you :-)
Thanks for wonderful folk song.
Are you a mute?
Great video! I have the same camera and I was wondering if the battery is needed just for the flash? Can I use the camera without the flash if I don't have a battery?
Thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply; yes, the battery is needed just for the flash. By the way: There were two types of flash cubes. The later "X" cubes or "Magicubes" did not need a battery, but can't be used with this camera.
