I wish I had one of those as a kid! I remember I got a Beastie Boys tape in 1987, and right after i listened to the 4th or 5th song, the tape was completely ruined.
A 'BIC' ballpoint pen is and was better than a pencil, as it has a tapered body and could be inserted in the hole without passing completely through it. Pencils would be a popular choice for American kids to rewind their tapes, as American school children were/are required to use pencils and not ink pens for their work, for some reason. Cheers.
I have never seen one of those. And I'm 57. Very cool and handy. I got 5 -6 cassette tape players, and they all have gobbled up a tape. So the tapes are on standby.
imagine that someday in the 2050s there will be a guy like this on the internet, but instead of talking about stuff from the 80's, it's the 2020s instead
Scissors or a pencil or pen if it was the right shape and if the tape split I would open up the cassette tape and stick both ends of the tape together with a small bit of sticky tape this operation could take a few to several attempts
ummm dude, you don't just put the pencil tip in and use it to push the little spikes, you push the pencil in further and use the body of the pencil as it catches all of spikes, then you just spin the pencil, just like your little knob does. lmao
Hey, wow, what, huh?? Say, Weird Paul, you’re talking too high tech for my meager tastes! A cassette rewinder knobby? I used the eraser tip side of a trusty no 2 pencil. Worked fine by me, after my pinky failed to do the job. Speaking of pencils, teachers always used to push the no 2s on us. Pencils had to be no2, or you were penalized for breaking the law! Why was that? How many numbered pencils were there, or still are?? Why did they come in a uniform color??? No rainbow variety a la Crayola???? Let us take a moment to ponder the hard questions. Together. Here.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Teachers still require #2 pencils. And not only that, my grandson's school requires Ticonderoga pencils only. I never pondered why pencils were yellow... maybe to match the school bus. Ticonderoga #2 pencils also come in black wood silver or pastels. But I'm going to assume alternate colors are not allowed by the pencil police at his school. ✏✏✏✏✏✏✏
GASP! Thou hast discovered the secrets of the gods! Holy Mount Olympics! I'm an old geezer born on the outer rims of the 50s, and all through these years I have not seen this gizmo till now! Oh I heard rumors of some magical device to rewind cassettes without using your pinky or pencil, but I presumed as others that it was lore or someone was doing a little too much LDS in the 60. 🤯

I always used the trusty eraser side of a pencil. Never knew there was a tool for it.
I did that thing where you stuck your pinky in and spun the cassette round like a yoyo.
I always struggled to use the tip of my pinky finger. I did not have a pencil or a tape winder 😉
I'm a song making of Meet John Doe (Reprise) that's right here
Cool!

@@weirdpaulpthx
Your dad is an awesome man for giving you that rewind thingy. 😎✌️
Amazing!
13 years later and he's still rocking that bowl cut like a champ

Yep, I remember them days... 83-92, I liked maxell
Frickin' sweet device...🤘🏼💯✔️
Never had one of these gadgets, but I really like my DVD rewinder.
Wow! I just picked up an old cassette 4 track. I should look into one of those just in case! Thanks, Weird Paul!
It looks like that part that Luke took off R2D2 when it was showing the Princess Leia holgram to Obi Wan
Holy smokes!! Your Dad was a genius! I've never seen one of those before!
Dude, you are one badass dude!
thank you for blowing my mind weird paul

Never knew that tool existed. I always used my finger tip to slowly, very slowly reel the tape back in :|
I did as well but one time my pinkie got stuck, 🤘
he's an og
I might not be from that time but i use to use pen or pencils to do that on other stuff
Clever gadget
Awesome!

Hey Paul, how are you doing?
Never knew such a device existed until now. As a gen X'er, I shall go hang my head in shame!
Ah the back thens 🥰
This seems like it should be saying it was posted at the birth of UA-cam
Like Weird Paul
Ho...Leeee...Sh..... Never knew.
Thought it was a cigarette lighter
Crank it to 11.
meh. Pencil or scissors worked just fine. Cool little knob though.
My boy George album keep getting stuck in the tape player 😢
This doesn't involve smoking weed.
Interesting
