Sony doesn't like Girl 😂😂

Very cool and technical conversion. It is too bad you couldn't use the Bluetooth cassette. Perhaps it will find use somewhere else.

Hi - I want to use this to capture video from a Sony camera via HDMI - are there any limitation on codec or resolution when it comes to capture?

Well, practically we listen your bluetooth through Russian amplifier and speakers, right? Well, that wasn't idea. We supposedly had to hear sound from their magnetic head. What was the problem? To adjust tape head? Well, from the space it is visible how tuned it is. Why??????

Good grief......😂

In the 70's it was possible to record digital audio to any tape format using a device called PCM adaptor, It basically uses the black and white portion of the video and records 0's and 1's as black and white squares, kind of like a modern 3D barcode, It was used to make masters for CDs, later on in the 80's Sony made some devices for consumer Betamax and VHS. In the 90's some S-VHS and Hi8 decks were capable of recording digital PCM on tape along the analog video and audio, JVC then went full digital audio and video (SD/HD) with the D-VHS format right before HD-DVD and Blu-ray emerged.

Oh boy, thats a damn shity quality for a 20 dollar tape, not one bit compares to good chrome tapes from the 90s…I work as a mastering engineer (bigcitynightsproductions) & I occasionally do tape transfers into high quality Digital Files for two privat musiclovers with lots of extra money. So they have amazing collections of cassette tapes, reel to reel & vinyl. For cassette tapes I use two machines in the studio a Revox (Studer) B215 & a Teac 8030s. So I’ve ben fortunate to to compare from amazing, chrome and metal tapes of the 90s golden era & what I just heard in this video is a plane choke in terms of tape quality…So sorry for new folks starting with this hobby but this ship has sailed !

This would be great to digitize lost media that was recorded on cassette

Ciao, utilizzo VHS per la musica dal 1988, era un fantastico sistema GRUNDIG TV + VHS 6 testine regalo di matrimonio. Dopo 30 anni registro musica ancora su videorecorder 6 testine consumer, con nastri VHS standard Sony, TDK, Scotch, Basf. Ottimo risultato.

To be honest I didnt like the modification, wouldn´t it be better to install a 3.5mm plug so that the tv could be remain the most original possible, just a comment, but nice job. Greeting from Mexico.

Был еще Сатурн П-401С - выпускался с 1988 года и имел еще и тюнер УКВ.

It was absolutely a great medium (at the time) for recording high quality audio. A radio station I worked at in the 90's recorded and played back overnight programs from VHS tape. This was before full playout automation. Apart from the odd tracking issue (fixed with a head clean) program sounded pretty good and listeners could not tell it was coming from tape. Good video!

Beta hifi was just as good as Vhs, and on beta you could even record digital pcm audio (maybe that existed on vhs later too)

I just got the larger machine in a walnut case. Needs fixing of course. Has a 1975 cartridge in it. Waiting on new pinch rollers to arrive.

I was never a fan of dolby though apparently the decks need to be properly calibrated at the factory for dolby to work properly .

What I love about your channel, is your up beat cheerful and positive attitude, you always look for something good in everything and that's rare in social media, I both acknowledge it and appreciate it a lot, God bless you and hope you're channel keeps growing so much that you can quit your 5 to 9 ❤✌️ Cheers and salutes all the way down from Mexico 🌮🎉🇲🇽🍻🤘

I was hoping that you could establish a new studio. And do not worry about the seams between ceiling and walls and corners because wood trim can hide a multitude of sins... Just ask any old carpenter! Keep up the good work!

*Illicit Tomato Grow Op* would be a great name for an alt-rock protest band. I'm behind on videos and haven't gotten to watch the flood video yet. I didn't realize it was so severe. I hope repairing everything isn't a huge burden. I know here in Texas it's not as easy as it needs to be to get effective flood insurance, so it can be a real nightmare when it happens. Congratulations on the new studio! I really appreciate that you made this video public so everyone could see it. I think a lot of us underestimate how much space you need to build an effective video production space for UA-cam content. We imagine, like, the sound stage where they filmed *Star Trek*, but a lot less space can go a long way if organized correctly. Two generations of people were raised addicted to Tetris. UA-cam Studio design training. :)

Looks fantastic. Is there anything you were able to do stop the flooding affecting the old room again in the future?

The Ohio River Valley? That's the area I'm from as well. Yeah it gets pretty sloppy 'round here sometimes! 😆👍🏻

Looking great...

And yet every live major concert by Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, even Bacharach recording engineers used Revox A77 / B77 to record the performance. VHS has poor tape handling design, hit pause and after ~5 minutes at least 20% of the tape has been adversely affected/ worn.

Can you tell me the size of the replacement drive belts? thank you!

I have been looking for something like this...but, OMG not that one... I have tapes that are 20-30 years old and some mixed tapes... there's got to be a better quality one than that thanks for the vid..

What is the radio sensitivity and speakers sound quality?

the first recording sounded excellent

Looks like the control buttons of the walkman are directly connected to electric switches. The mechanism could be more advanced than it seems. Sadly it is unreparable :-( Who knows why they used those strange button cells instead of some more standard batteries.

This was my very first game system…..it used to freeze up near the end of its life 😂but it’s an awesome memory🫶🏾 fyi my favorite game was donkey Kong cartridge 😊 I’m feeling nostalgic at 50😂

Type II/IV tapes generally don't need noise reduction as they can accept higher strength signals, thus giving them higher signal to noise ratios as well. It's normal tapes that noise reduction systems are mainly meant for. Dolby B was good for reducing noise but higher frequencies were still weak. Dolby C would make normal tapes play back with greater clarity and cleaner sound, like their high bias counterparts.

is that a BIC tape deck?

You need a 3 head deck to show the real sound on any tape, a well calibrated metal tape sounds very close to a digital source.

The video is AI generated. Never mind the nostalgia or resurgence bullshit. It's portable analog hifi. Get yourself a good 80s Japanese deck that's still running. Give it a good cleaning, buy some RTM C60 cassettes and listen to the magic. Now swap out the belt on a 90s Sony Walkman and take the show on the road. The end result should be an audio experience that rivals digital in terms of overall sound quality, but has that natural analog warmth & brilliance many of us crave. No other format can provide this experience while riding the train to work or seven miles above the earth. :)

I tried the first couple of JVC S-VHS machines released at the time and found them to be unimpressive with very poor frame manipulation, I sent them back. I left it a couple of years and then purchased Panasonic (starting with FS100) and never looked back. As with most machines, the tape you put in the machine had a major effect on the picture quality and the best tape I found that worked with the Panasonic's were TDK XP-PRO. There always seemed to be more dot -crawl and less colour with JVC tapes.

I remember seeing these cassette players in our local Radio Shack-like shop during the Soviet era. Despite their bright colours, they always seemed somewhat unattractive to me. The model 401 was particularly disappointing, as it was rated as 4th grade, indicating poor playback and amplified sound quality.

3d printing could help fix that lil' spud!

People of Soviets in 80s had enough money but can't spend it. They were buying everything on shelves because there are no more options. Gorbachev tried to fix it by liberal reforms, but made it worse. But this was almost fine compare to Russian 90s…

More like Walkcomrade amirite

It looks beautiful but I thought it was more or less from 83, when you said 90, 91 my jaw dropped, such a simple thing like this says a lot about how people were living back in the USSR at the time

Does it have the price in roubles stamped on the back of the boombox?

Yeah! You could use one of those Bluetooth cassette tapes to get some sound out of it.

I don't need this thing. But I need this thing.

Back about 1986 or so, I saw something similar to this in a discount store and I believe it was made by a company called Grand Prix 10:29 10:57

Love how the ACA logo is clearly RCA logo copy.

Love that bright red / orange ❤

Recently, I repaired Telefunken CC20 cassette tape deck, HIGH COM and Dolby, BUT gears tears apart like in this one. I ordered 3D printed gear, assembled deck and it runs perfectly. Very nice reproduction, HIGH COM doing job very well. I've done screenshots of NR effect and recording of several frequencies. THERE are harmonics, too, as on my Pioneer deck! Interested?

I have a (far better constructed) JVC system that had detachable speakers and a detachable cassette player. Far more full-featured than this, but may have been a loose inspiration.

That's very cool The Soviet Walkman

I grew up with PAL VHS and DVD. One thing I noticed when playing NTSC tapes, was that the blacks are lighter compared to PAL tapes where black is black. The NTSC VHS tapes had very muted colours and also have this effect where the redish colours leave motion smearing. The PAL tapes don't handle reds that well either with colour bleed everywhere, but they don' t have the motion smearing
