8-track & cassette in the same player? - 1976 Soundesign 4645B
A failed truce in the 1970s battle between cassette tapes and 8-track cartridges: a player which can accept both formats in the same slot. Impossible? Not according to Soundesign, which achieved this feat in their 4645B stereo system in 1976.

MAGNA
magnavox-odyssey2-console-games-review
Introduced in 1978, the Magnavox Odyssey2 is overlooked by many video game enthusiasts (I didn't even know it existed until a few years ago), but it is a classic in its own right, with a unique, stylish design and simple but fun games.
Unfortunately some of the best games for the system, such as "Attack of the Time Lord", are also the hardest to find since they came right at the end of its lifespan, but you can get an Odyssey2 Multicart which contains all of the games that were ever released for it, as well as some newly created ones.

A LAS
a-last-look-at-sears-route-22-watchung
A quick exterior and interior tour of the landmark Sears store on Route 22 in Watchung, NJ, that was built in 1965 and closed on September 17th, 2017.
GoFundMe campaign to help save the store's mural: https://www.gofundme.com/removal-and-conservation-of-mural
Corrections: The Sears logo changed to lowercase in 2004; this store has the slightly updated all-uppercase logo that was introduced in 1994. And the singer of the "Softer Side of Sears" jingle is Jake Holmes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Holmes

A demonstration of my Tandy 1000RL-HD computer with its original Tandy CM-11 CGA monitor, circa 1990, with MS-DOS 3.3 and DeskMate 3.04 in ROM. It has a 9.54 MHz 8086 CPU, 768 KB of RAM, and the original 20 MB IDE-XT hard drive. I give a quick tour of various DeskMate applications, including Sound and Draw. (The computer is fanless; the hiss you hear is from my camera's cheap microphone.)

Out of the two, the DCR-TRV340 has some nicer features and has less tape motor noise, while the DCR-TRV350 is smaller and lighter and has a built-in 3-watt halogen spotlight. (And unlike the TRV350 that I reviewed a few years ago, the SteadyShot on this one works perfectly.)

1989
1989-yorx-cd-player-toaster-surround
A unusual vertical front-loading CD player, from 1989. It's a very basic model from a brand known for cheapness, but it works fine and sounds good. I demonstrate it with an unusual Dolby Surround Sound demo CD. With no time display, repeat feature, or track programming, it's as simple as a CD player can get -- except for the instant-action stop and eject!

AM ((
wowo2
A "scoped" nighttime skywave DX recording of Fort Wayne, Indiana's 1190 WOWO on December 5th, 1992, received 460 miles away in eastern Pennsylvania on a Realistic TM-152 tuner in AM Stereo. (WOWO was transmitting the Magnavox AM Stereo system at the time, but they added a 25 Hz pilot tone to allow AM Stereo receivers designed for the Motorola C-Quam system, such as the TM-152, to decode their signal in stereo.) This audio was taken from a Type I non-Dolby cassette recording with no EQ or other sonic enhancement other than a 10 kHz whistle filter. A great example of just how good AM Stereo can sound, even over long-distance skywave reception!
