Oddity Archive: Episode 278.2 – Ben’s Junk: Some More of Ben’s Audiocassette Collection (Mystery Box!) (Patreon)

Well, this week's video was gonna be on a fairly rare VHS deck with linear stereo (as opposed to Hi-Fi), but the fleabay seller and FedEx did their darnedest to completely destroy it (and succeeded)--powers on, but that is it--found a bunch of broken pieces in the guts of the deck.

So, as is my usual fail-safe, we're gonna look at another leg of one of my collections. In this case, a box of audiocassettes that has been sitting around since I left Colorado in 2018...and had largely forgotten the contents thereof. Let's find out the contents together!

As for next week, it may very well be another hybrid mini-video and livestream kind of week. The episode I'd started on (on a batch of random Betacam and Betacam SP tapes) turned out to be a bust--turns out about 2/3 of the tapes had an unfortunate meeting with a bulk eraser at some point and the remaining 1/3 didn't amount to enough (worthy) material for an episode. As such, I had to go back to the drawing board. Will update everyone next week.
