About Me:
 
This channel is mainly about vintage consumer audio tape recorders (cassette and reel to reel).

WE ALSO FEATURE How To videos about our personal growth and other computer software.

In the tape recorder arena, our focus is on displaying the functions and designs -- internal and external -- of vintage tape recorders (mostly portable battery operated machines) from the mid-1960's on. We take them apart so you don't have to!

We choose the machines we restore based on uniqueness of design, attractiveness, and innovation. We feature machines made by Aiwa, Sony, Westinghouse, Emerson, Standard, and many more tape recorder manufacturers.

Our purpose is to create a "Virtual Vintage Tape Recorder Museum" here on You Tube as an educational outreach for people who have never seen a tape recorder, let alone have any idea how one works.

We are trying to preserve our audio and technological history. Our goal is to, wherever possible, resurrect these often forgotten and neglected vintage tape recorders so people can hear the sound of the 1960's the way we did.

By understanding where we have come from, we can better appreciate where we are, and possibly be inspired for where we are going.

It all started with the restoration of a Wollensak 5750 stereo tape recorder from 1968. Since we posted that video, we have made many more tape recorder videos, some in more than one part where the interesting aspects of the machine justify greater detail.

And for fun we have created some "Silly Silly Tape Recorder" videos showing more lighthearted uses of these machines, added some fun videos about cats, music, educational videos about our subliminal messages programs, share some animations we created and even a have special video about the classic ROBBY THE ROBOT (From Forbidden Planet).

Check our playlists, you may find something of interest!

Thanks for visiting the ClydeSight Channel!

@ dmstealth Thank you for your kind words! Not only am I on the road to recovery, but so are some tape recorders - including a UHER Report Report 4000-L!

Sorry to hear (or read rather) about your heart attack. Hope you're continuing to improve and continue to pursue your restoration hobby. I nearly-always learn something new from your videos!

singinglawnchair -- Thank you for your very kind thoughts and well wishes.

Thank you for the wonderful videos - I hope you have been recovering successfully!

@coolbluelights - Thanks for your comment. Since my heart attack, I haven't got a whole lot of interest in restoring tape recorders. Not sure what happened, it all sort of faded away. I guess my priority must be restoring myself. I'm getting better all the time though. They say it takes 6 months to a year to fully recover and adjust from a heart attack.
