...and we've arrived at the end of yet another season.  And, as long teased, let's give the Quasar Great Time Machine the proper OA treatment.


So, as always, I'm gonna back away from standard OA episodes for a few weeks while I work on other things around here and try and get next season started.  As it stands, you should be good for (at least) a visit from Sergei (and, of course, a trip into his Catacomb of Classics), a Ben's Junk, an uber-rare "mail day" video, a thrifting episode, and...one more video that is still to-be-determined.


And, as is the custom at this time of year, I've got some Annex goodies lined up for you every week until the new season.  This week, given the episode's subject matter, we'll dig more into the Quasar/VX stash.

Yeah, I think I get this now. The massive, uncoordinated clunkiness. The heads wearing oxide off the tape. The lack of a shuttle mode. The having to chop bits out when the machine jammed. The endless cleaning and lubrication - this was the videotape recording industry's attempt to bring the experience of using an Ampex Quadraplex machine into the home.

Safe travels for when you go back to Minnesota. Have fun and good luck!

This Summer trip to Minnesota this year should be even more interesting for Benny Boy!
