Reviewing more Anthrocon footage from 2010, where we went around with 2 PXL2000 cameras (from 1987 that recorded on type 2 90 min audio cassettes, 5-6 minutes per tape side).

Here’s @coopertom.bsky.social as Shedz and another cameo by Wild Bill Texas

Going through my Anthrocon 2009 tapes. Wild Bill Texas, RIP

All About Shifters Shifters | Werewolves | Dragons | Fantasy | Supernatural

My urban fantasy thriller novels featuring the modern-day remnant of an ancient clan of werecats torn apart as militaries on three continents vie to exploit their deadly talents are in group promo with a bunch of other great looking books! Check 'em out at storyoriginapp.com/to/ENDhPxD

These 2 soundtracks are my all time favorites. The BTTF one was the full soundtrack limited release back in 2009 or so. The other is a very rare TaleSpin one, not by Disney, but the composer Christopher L. Stone (was never for sale)

Both give me huge goosebumps to the point of tears at times.

The First & Only Black & White TV with a Digital Tuner - 1983 Zenith Model Y124W 12" B&W TV YouTube video by Spats Bear

youtu.be/Q6qJEn27r7o?...

Here is an extremely rare 1982 Zenith 12” black & white TV with a DIGITAL tuner, led display, hifi audio, and full DC restoration which means consistent black levels.

There is an even rarer 19” version. I only saw it once 22 years ago in a blurry newspaper clipping, but it does exist.

I get those comments a lot. And I just laugh at them. You only live once…

What Year is this TV Even?? 19XX Zenith Model H1951W 19" Color TV YouTube video by Spats Bear

Sure is!

1964 3M Wollensak portable reel to reel with tube amplifier.

I really love reel to reel machines, even portables. So beautiful to look at in operation, with the sound to match. 3M made so really nice portable machines.

Yes, LED lighting :p

Discharging a CRT

Got a CIB Sega Master System. The box isn’t perfect, but everything else looks like it was taken out of the box once 40 years ago, then put right back in. Not a scratch and all plastic film still on everything.

Tonight is my first time ever playing a Master System.

Looks like the GE Blockbuster, very nice :3

Going into 2026 like

That's also a beauty :3

I know it's already after Christmas, but it is still before New Years. Listening to the Living Voices Christmas album from the mid 60s on the 1966 Olympic console, with that warm tube audio and AlNiCo speaker sound.

I wasn’t planning to…. Until now ;3

Definitely hehe.. and we have two more of those shelves coming. I have quite a few more to go through/restore to put on display :3

Finally getting some of the alarm clocks setup
