Computer history buffs will find this interesting:

Gave it to my brother-in-law for his birthday a few years ago. Guy's a hardcore fan. A friend of mine used to have one of this exact model of first-gen RCA CED (Capacitance Electronic Disc) machine. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1428088806 Video played with a stylus in a groove. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1428088806 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1428088806 This is another very interesting system, which uses film: Specifically, the film strip is divided down the middle. On one side is a complete B&W image for each frame, and on the other is a frame containing encoded chroma information, used to restore a full-color image. http://www.cbsretirees.com/cbs-evr/images/evr-strip.jpg (This exact same concept is used, in electronic form, by S-Video, and it is fundamentally comperable to modern-day component video). Inside the player, the film is scanned by a flying-spot scanner and photomultiplier (basically a super-high-res B&W camera), and then re-assembled electronically into a color image for output to the TV. http://www.labguysworld.com/MotoTelePlayer_015.jpg |
Also, this is a really impressive VCR which used short-length cartridges to store commercials / promos / etc., and play them back automatically.
We used to have several of these at WPIX. Still have some of the old tapes lying around. EDIT: Frak, no embedding. Click through, it's worth a few minutes if you're into this kind of iron-age video equipment. |

Uh, I don't think that's a Miata, dude.

I dig that...what is it? Looks Sunbeam-ish.

Thats a Lotus Elan you plebs.
I would say that is probably the best single car than you can say inspired the Miata. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1428100494 |
I knew what it was, but I didn't know if you did or not.
Not usually a good idea to call moderators dumbasses, IMO. |

Sixshooter would never give me an infraction. Were both Floridians, united in insanity.
