      About the teeth - it was once common for people to have all of their teeth removed at one time for prophylactic and cosmetic reasons, and replace them with dentures. I suppose the reasoning was that it would cost far less in the long term than routine, painful dental treatment.
      I also wonder if the uncle had Congestive Heart Failure, and that's why he would have been hospitalized for the weight gain.
      Thanks for the fascinating listen into other people's lives! It's like reading old postcards.

    Historically it would have been quite common for women particularly to have all their real teeth removed in adulthood, simply because it avoided all the expected future dental problems. They would have been proud to wear dentures instead. Having dental problems fixed as they occurred was regarded as a luxury only the very rich could have afforded, and refined sugar was widely available and used while fluoride toothpastes and the regimen of regular brushing were unheard of so most adults would have problems by middle age.
    It's funny how in a lifetime something can go from being expected to being extraordinary, or vice versa.

    It's almost magical to find tape that people recorded decades ago. You never know what might be on there and it's like a time capsule to me. A snapshot of a moment in time and, in many cases, you are hearing voices of people who are no longer alive.
    I've done a couple of videos where I opened up boxes of job lot cassettes I bought on ebay. I love playing them and finding out what's on them. I've found a few extraordinary things! In my most recent unboxing a few days ago, one of the tapes was a recording of a lady's tarot card reading. Really bizarre yet a fascinating listen.

    I had a stationary DCC-deck that I bought super cheap on sale in he mid 1990s'.
    I didn't use it much for DCC, only bought one blank to test it out.
    But it was the best deck for analogue cassettes I ever had.
    All my old cassettes sounded better than ever, and it had super-fast search and track handling from the remote, and many handy functions.
    It was missing analogue recording, otherwise it was like a high end cassette-deck, for almost no money.
    I actually sold it for more than I bought it for.
    So, tanks for that handy invention Philips!

    I had the idea of making one of these endless loop tapes in 1980. Gave it to our school bus driver who was always accepting tapes from us and it played the same 40 second loop for 3/4 of an hour while the school bus made its round, picking up kids. Must I say that the driver wasn't pleased, although he did play it until the end of the tour.

    Thanks Matt, another great video - I've just ordered the Jazz Spastiks album (right up my alley). Remember, if you don't like the music - what is the point of buying great gear to listen to it on. Regards, Kelvin

    Ha ha, excellent! Mat, I propose a new Bachelor's degree: Audio/Visual Technology Historian. You already have that, I'm merely pointing out the need for a graduate program.

    Love finding those old recordings; a bit like finding old photographs in antique shops. A little piece of that person lives on long after they're gone.

    it’s really easy to get lost in all of the content you’ve put out, every video leads to some other forgotten piece of tech ive never heard of!

    I'm glad you're making these videos about weird tape formats, as a HUGE cassette tape lover, lazy noise artist and record label owner I'm happy to learn about all these dead, obsolete and stupid formats I might want to release something on some day.

    That original sound you played to show how it sounded before you mixed it is my new ringtone! Can't...stop...laughing.

    Would it be possible for you to upload the full recordings of those mail tapes?
    Its really interesting to hear the voices of the past and preserving them in the internet could be a good idea.

    Love your channel. It's so interesting and makes me nostalgic for the old days. Often I talk to my brother about the devices we had back in the day. I had a MiniDisk with me when I was in Iraq in 2004, and he sent me about 15 cassettes to listen to. Amazing stuff. One concern, you stated that you were showing one audio device but the recording wasn't from that. Of course one must edit the work, and I don't fault you for that, however I hope you don't resort to stock footage of devices when demonstrating audio for us. Takes a bit away from what is otherwise a great channel and experience. All the best to your great channel!

    Very interesting hearing that brief speech about the school visit to Access, my Mum worked there for many years from the mid eighties onwards till she retired not many years ago. My brother still works there today although they've moved offices and changed names multiple times since.
