I love how the turbo scream is basically a free throttle position indicator. I want to drive that thing to an upscale restaurant and demand they valet park it where I can see it from my table.

The funniest thing about that video is the description, apparently it's registered as a tractor (it's not uncommon to put a bed on a regular car and register it as a "work tractor", which means you can drive it at 15 instead of 18). That in turn means it has to be built to run at a maximum speed of 33 km/h.

4 head decks were only produced so you had a set of heads optimized for slow playback speed. It did nothing for normal playback speed :science:

I'm always amazed at the number of regularly occurring tape artifacts that we just accepted. Colored bars, random lines and static...it was just part of the experience.

Not to be a dick, but that's a 72' cuda, not a 70. See at 2:01 and you'll see the tell-tale center V in the grill.

I was clickthing through the videos in this thread and somehow this came up as related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpLemr-iWb0&feature=related

It says "Weird accidents" but the only accident in the video is from robot chicken.

Right but the chance of 2 out of the 4 heads being out of alignment in a 4 head deck is smaller than one of the two heads in a 2 head deck being out (as only one head is in contact with the tape path for 96% of the rotation of the drum, whereas in a 4 head setup there's always at least 2 heads on the tape.)


I've got a 6-head Sony deck that's capable of all the nice trick playback functions and freeze-frame without 1/3 of the frame jittering around(also can play in reverse at full speed or slow speed). Plus I have an old Sears 4-head deck that had SP, LP, SLP, and EP record speeds on it. I don't think anything recorded in SLP speed was guaranteed to play right on any other machine, though. Anything made after about 1998 is just SP/EP.

God, I hope that nobody in that second video was seriously hurt, because that second to last crash (and a few others) totally cracked me up.

And wow, 14 minutes of this stuff in one video? I subscribed.

The Focus crash makes me laugh every time. It just goes on and on and yep finis... BANG BANG..... yep quiet no wait still crashing.....

The main thing i learned from these videos is rally cars gain speed once they go shiny side down. It may be from all the parts flying off though.
