    I'm watching all the old MI episodes and noticed an interesting recording device I used to have. It's seen in Season 1 episode 18. It's a Soundscriber, a dictating machine that records on small acetate disks at 33 rpm. These can be played on an ordinary phonograph. I bought mine years ago at a used electronics store, and was actually able to buy more blank disks at an office supply store. My brother was able to record on disks he cut from acetate sheets. Might be a fun device to show on your channel if you can find one.

      Most Utubers still refer to shooting raw "footage" as "filming" or maybe "taping", though photographic film or videotape (magnetic film) are no longer involved. Long ago, I started to try to gently point that out, but quickly figured out that was a useless crusade.

      Funny you should say that... as around that time, I bought my first "serious" open-reel machine: An Ampex 2176. Got it for less than $20 at a resale shop, and found it needed belts. When I took it to reputable repair shop, they quoted a $200+ repair estimate! Sadly, books and parts were impossible for me to come by, so it sat for better than 20-years... until I found another--in working condition--on eBay for a reasonable price.

    A bit of a goof! The Norita camera seen @21:01 is a mediumformat camera, not a 35mm camera so the focal lengths they're talking about doesn't make sense. Also, the camera system in question doesn't have a 85mm lens (the normal lens is a 80mm) and a portrait lens would be something more like 150-180mm.

    Fantastic Job! This is an excellent collection of goofs and production-history on one of the best TV shows ever. Second only to the acting of Techmoan, which was very entertaining too! I relaly hope for further M:I episodes on this channel!!!

    Thank you for making these videos. I would never read this information on a website, but having you explain it makes it very entertaining.

    Love this one. I really like seeing tape machines in films and on TV, this was a great look at one of the most iconic use of one. Thank you!
