Like the knockoff Tonka trucks only worse as it doesn't even serve the primary purpose of the original.

Wow looks like a new version of the one my parents bought me in 1983. Of course I took it apart and connected it to a better, external speaker. I don't think anything I owned before age 10 actually survived fully intact.
Who really cares if it's real or not, it can play and record, no tape for little fingers to pull out and make a mess with. it's a toy! |
Exactly.

Why start kids off with OUR nostalgia? Let them find their own things to be nostalgic about.
I am glad my dad didn't give me some lame Fisher Price Edison cylinders to play with, lol. |

Perhaps Fisher-Price should make a toy smartphone with a pre-cracked screen. It sure doesn't matter if that doesn't work, it would prepare them for modern technology. |
Didn't these guys also make an ersatz B/W video recorder that produced grainy B/W pics ? Always wanted one of those- ran acrost an incomplete specimen in a garage sale setting in 1994. shoulda got it, but the gal I was with then would not have let me get it..

Yup...and it used cassette tapes... :yuck:
|
Oh my god. Whats next.A fake FP PXL2000 camcorder.

“Filmmakers love what they describe as Pixelvision’s dithering, a process designed to fill in the information between the pixels but resulting in unpredictable fluctuations in the image quality from frame to frame. Dithering, they say, calls attention to the properties of the recording medium in the same way that Jimi Hendrix’s use of feedback called attention to the properties of the electric guitar.” http://rhizome.org/editorial/2013/ap...s-pixelvision/ The Art of Pixelvision: https://archive.org/details/artofpixelvision They still are fairly expensive in the used market when in good condition. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...p2045573.m1684 . |
I remember those video cameras, a friend of mine was a doctor's son had one. I remember it as being as being a piece of junk with a grainy black and white picture on a tiny 5" screen. I wonder how anyone possibly made anything good with one of those! Maybe will look up some videos for fun.

Also, to prevent the terrible twos from destroying tapes, just use the handyman's secret weapon. May as well secure the battery compartment while you're at it. |
