Just a liiitle bit longer

Well, hello again!

After leaving my grandparents' house, I went to the camp I currently find myself in. This post is mostly about showing signs of life, (altough I will start posting again in a few days), and I also wanted to show you the cool record/radio/cassette player I found at the place we're staying at:

As you can see, it's really cool. I would definitely want something like this.

Have a nice day! 💐

Zenith Z-Note Flex - Cleaning, tweaking, installing MS-DOS and Windows 3.1

Hello everyone! Today's review is about my new (24 year old) laptop form Zenith Data Systems! This laptop truly is a technical wonder of the 20th century! In its small (but very thick) form factor, it packs: -A removable Intel 486SL 75mhz CPU. -12 megabytes of ram. (only 4, originally, mine was upgraded when I got it) -A very crisp and clear 640x480 LCD TFT display, with a brightness slider. -A 1800mah battery. (mine is dead, after so many years) -A standard 1.44 megabytes 3.5" floppy drive. -A trackball. -A membrane keyboard with some very interesting function keys. (pretty small, but ok) -A 524 MB hard drive. When I first opened its box, and I plugged it in, it didn't turn on. In fact, it doesn't turn on at the writing of this post either. Its power brick only works when it wants to, apparently. But fortunately, It worked long enough for me to install MS-DOS and windows 3.1 When I booted it up for the first time, after it prompted me to e

Telefunken Magnetophon 302TS Reel to Reel Recorder

After a long while, I'm back with a new review. And this is not just a review... It's the review of the piece of technology I love the most from my entire collection, which also happens to be the oldest one I have. It's the Telefunken Magnetophon 302TS portable reel to reel recorder from 1968. And oh my God, it's simply mindblowing in every way. It uses 13 cm (5 inch) magnetic reels to record and play audio. You can set the speed at 4.7 cm/s for longer playback but less quality or 9.5 cm/s for higher quality. It can play stereo reels, but won't record in stereo. It also has two buttons for selecting between left and right track. (or both) People consider reel to reel tape recorders to be the highest quality option for listening to music. Mostly because of the analog nature of the recording method, and the ridiculous speeds at which the tape moves in some higher end Recorders. Of course, you could consider this a high end recorder. It depe

Kashtan-1 1989 Reel to Reel Recorder

Hello everyone, and even if it's a little late, merry Christmas!🎄🎅🦄 It's been a while since I published my last post, and I guess I've already said this in most of my posts. This blog is not going to be abandoned any time soon, but it's not my highest priority either. I will continue making posts about things I love, even if I won't make them often. For Christmas, Santa Claus got me a 1989 Kashtan-1 4-track consumer reel to reel recorder. Where he got it from, I don't know. Does Santa Claus have deposits of ancient products? Who knows. Maybe he's a fan of old technology too. I can finally say that I am seriously getting into reel to reel audio (My last recorder from 1968, even though it's probably much cooler and more valuable than this one, doesn't come near to the sound quality of this one, because, first of all, this one passes the tape trough the heads at twice the speed, and second of all, this one is glorious STEREO) Glorious, it
