The battery on it is dead, and I still haven't ordered a replacement since it will be like $40, which is kinda stupid money to spend on something like that. But then again, my purchasing decisions have never been the best. The LCD on it is HORRIBLE! Metal Geir Skogul posted:No analog gauges, no sale I can do analogue gauges.

I'm sure I have a piece of American 70s kit somewhere that uses an RCA jack for power because I just saw the power brick somewhere around a few weeks ago.

I worked somewhere that had them set up with extension cords to connect fire alarms together and someone plugged an angle grinder into it and the bell rang every time they grinded

According to Wikipedia, the RCA cable was invented in the 40's and one of it's other uses was a power cable. Judging by the styling on that adaptor, it's probably for devices that did use RCA plugs for power.

Later in the twitter thread they come to the conclusion it’s an adapter for studio photography flash sync— older lights used a Nema bladed plug as the input for that for reasons.

For the most part, studio lights still use that plug for sync. Never seen one with an RCA cable, it's usually just built into the cable with an adapter on the camera end.

Haha, a buddy of mine has that blue minidisc player. The clip that keeps it closed broke about 12 years ago, so he ties a piece of string around it that keeps it shut. And it still works!

Looks like a miniature flat PC with monitor and keyboard. Because the rest of the ensemble wasn't tacky enough.

Yeah. It should have been the old Netscape throbber with each side being slightly different so it animated when you spun it.

Collateral Damage posted:The point is nostalgia. Yeah 3 sucked. It sucked so bad that Nullsoft skipped 4 and went on to 5. I'm not sure what the logic behind that was. Winamp 5 was decent because it had Winamp 2 skin compatibility. It had all the features of 5 but you could make it look exactly like 2 if you wanted to which of course you did.

It was because they claimed it was the good parts of winamp 3 + the good parts of winamp 2 (really) E: KozmoNaut posted:I want it, where can I buy? I found it in a thrift store, it's apparently a talus brand spinners mug. There are a few different styles on ebay, but I couldn't find any info/sources about my version when doing some quick searches Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 02:54 on Feb 10, 2018 |
