    Retro Cool Technology

    No, thank you. No, please. Seriously, I like vintage stuff (and I got the house full of it), but I would never come back with that modus operandi. I have a still working Canon Zoom 814, and tons of 8mm/S 8mm tha t I still have to dump in digital. I don't think that old means always better. And...

    Retro Cool Technology

    It reminds me of an accident happened in a live concert of ELP, the modular moog of Emerson was flooded by a storm. Of course when he tried to power it up the moog didn't work. He opened the rear cabinets, exposed it to the sun, and after few hours, it was working again.:cheers:

    Retro Cool Technology

    About me, after some 10 year of total inactivity, I started again to study, mostly classical, but I was lately introduced to proogressive rock, so I studied the intro from Genesis Firth of fifth, and I'm currently studying ELP Tarkus part 1, TDF (TOO DAMN FAST :lol:). However, I like so much...

    This is another of my old gizmos: a radiophonograph RadioMarelli RD 224. Strangely enough, I can't find much over the internet, so here are the pictures: It works like the first time, with just some cracklings during the first seconds of power up. It has a phonograph 16-33-45-78 RPM...

    Retro Cool Technology

    Mine is still in good shape, though the display isn't that bright and I replaced the floppy drive belt with a rubber band (!), and also board batteries are beginning to fade (have to disassemble the whole thing, but I at the time I don't care). I'm curious... What did you play? ---------- Post...

    Paul McCartney explains the Mellotron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0S1-Y9TsyY But more interesting than Mellotron is the Birotron, one of the most rare instruments in the world. In this blog I gathered some infos about it along other mysterious synths: https://obscuresynths.wordpress.com/...

    I have also a similar stereo equipment from the early 70's, a Grundig - Philips equipped with radio and automatic disc changer + external tape recorder. I'll try to reach it where it is stored to get the exact model number. ---------- Post added at 21:21 ---------- Previous post was at 19:20...

    Retro Cool Technology

    Well, during the 80's I put my hands on many keyboards like OB-Xa, Prophet 5, Minimoog, but I never had the plasure to try modular synths, like the replica seen in this thread. Now I just have a common SH-101, its brother MC-202 (never used, still in its original package), plus several...

    Retro Cool Technology

    This thread is simply outstanding! Never thought that there could be so many retro gear aficionados (as I am). I have a lot of (still working) old stuff, somtimes even too old stuff; I have also some old synth that I refreshed recently, though I'm using much virtual stuff today. I' taking some...

    Flight Question mars re entry

    This can give you a rough idea: https://vimeo.com/25592340 I used Hover as brake (at the end), but usually you have to rely (also) on Retro. Also, a fuel expensive stationary Mars soft landing: https://vimeo.com/19964095 And for the moon: https://vimeo.com/19595735
