Fascinating Vintage 20 Cassette Carousel from 1972 : Panasonic RS-296US

Retro-Tech: According to the adverts - the Panasonic RS-296US could play 2.5 days of music non-stop...that's roughly the same play time to the '1000 songs in your pocket' that the first 5GB Apple iPod boasted in 2001.
NOTE
2.5 days of play time equates to 60 hours which would require 20x 180-min cassettes. Whilst these tapes did exist at one point, 180-minute lengths were also very fragile and best avoided.
A more realistic play time is to load this machine up with 20x 90-minute cassettes which gives you 30 hours, and that's why I refer to the 'day and a half' of continuous music at the end of video.

You may have spotted two special cassettes in the video - a Back to the Future Replica "Edward Van Halen" tape and a Guardians of the Galaxy "Awesome Mix Tape Vol. 1" - both were provided by my good friend Hugo from Walkman Archive - you can find more info on his tapes here:

@Jerbod2 8 лет назад

Techmoan Any difference between paying through the nose for transportation or having cheap-o transport?

@Techmoan 8 лет назад

It's best to ask the seller if you can pay extra to have the object double-boxed ...double boxing has always been the best way I've avoided breakages...polystyrene beads, and bubble pack can help....but I've had things arrive where the packing material has all shifted to one side of the box and the object has been dropped and dented on the other side...so double boxing is the best thing you can do.

@Jerbod2 8 лет назад

Techmoan Alright, I just tend to stick to the countries around the Netherlands such as the UK when buying stuff from Ebay, more often than not it ends up in 1 maybe 2 different transportation companies so that means they'll not be able to blame other companies for not handling your package properly. DHL for instance ships throughout Europe.

@nathanchoi3763 4 года назад

born in the early 90s, don't quite know that such complex cassette machine was already available in the 70s, and the sophistication of this machine actually surprised and inspired me. I also like to watch those mechanical parts working together in a symphonic and harmonious way to carry out different functions, it's as if they are "your responsible friends" who serve your need in a reliable and supportive manner.

@RedKnight-fn6jr 4 года назад

So simple, but yet, so effective. These would have been great at house parties - there'd have been no more having to search for cassettes every hour then - surprised there weren't more of these machines around.

@Shreddah 8 лет назад

So many moving parts inside. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into designing this machine. And if something breaks, you're screwed.

@acmeopinionfactory8018 8 лет назад

Awesome electromechanical design. Just imagine a twenty foot tape overrun. What a mess!

@strangersound 8 лет назад

Actually not. If something broke, you would have a technician fix it. Televisions, tape decks, VCRs, etc were all totally serviceable and repair shops were a thriving business sector. Most of these repair shops have gone out of business due to the fact that most modern devices are designed to not be repairable, going as far as companies even refusing to issue service manuals, repair parts, etc. Today's electronics do not offer the same possibility of repair. Most devices made now are disposable and have no options for repair. They don't want you to fix things, they want you to buy another one. Planned obsolescence is the prevailing design drive these days. This is exactly why you still see plenty of vintage gear from decades ago that still works fine. It was designed to last and designed to be repairable. Try to find anything from the last ten years that will last 5 decades. Good luck.

@greenaum 8 лет назад

If this thing ever chewed up a tape, it'd be a NIGHTMARE! Still, usually happened most to Walkmans. Maybe the miniaturisation, or low price point, made the mechanisms less reliable. Sometimes you'd have to take the whole player apart. At least for this thing, the player's mechanism is open. Once the bottom cover's off, you could probably untangle the tape. The tape mechanism makes me think of car stereos, they had the same insert-tape mechanism. Perhaps that's what this is, a car cassette player mechanism. Also would be a bit more rugged I'd think.

@greenaum 8 лет назад

As far as servicing and repair, some modern stuff you can swap out an entire board or assembly, so they're a BIT repairable. As much as anything else though it's not worth the money. A skilled technician's time is worth more money than it costs to just replace your television, for the most part. More expensive things I imagine are designed more to be serviceable. Other thing is components. They've become more reliable, and more complex, in the case of ICs. So it's not worth the bother of trying to isolate a particular component to replace. You just swap out the whole board instead. Diagnostic procedures are designed at that level. The stuff that's most likely to go wrong in modern stuff, because it's the most complex, is the software.

@mindtekzone 8 лет назад

I repaired consumer electronics for a living in the 1970's and as a warranty Tech for Panasonic I remember working on about 4 of these machines. They had a big design fault that showed up on all the ones that I repaired …. the mechanism that would pull the cassette down into the tape deck portion was too complicated and would fail. A cassette tape really doesn't have much to grab onto from a mechanical standpoint is the reason for the failure and why many of these didn't sell. UP NEXT: The CD jukebox took its place with much better results and the ability to store much more music before MP3 players came along. Thanks for the post.

@filminginportland1654 7 лет назад

J. Mack it didn't sell well because people knew it would break before too long? Seems like popular items often broke easy, too. Perhaps it sold poorly because of cost?

@mindtekzone 7 лет назад

As I recall Panasonic and Sony were in a tech war to produce a jukebox of some kind. One company had an 8 track version of this and I'm thinking this machine was produced more of a showcase piece. These machines were not common because people I don't think felt it was a big chore to change a single cassette on a individual machine.

@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video on this remarkable machine, Techmoan, and for the additional insight on it, J. Mack. I remember a few Japanese cassette changer models that held 5 or 6 cassettes and had a linear mechanism, but I had no idea someone had made a 20-cassette rotary model. As Mr. Techmoan alludes to at the end of the video, I would have to imagine there must have been a decent market for cassette changers for store background music for stores that wanted long-running continuous music systems that weren't propreitary and neither required a subscription service (Muzak and the like apparently used phone lines and special FM subcarriers, in the days before satellite- and Internet-based delivery), nor special media like radio-station-type carts.

Great presentation. You are a real professional speaker - thought I was watching towards 2000! ( futuristic show from Australia)

What an amazing machine, the design the thought that went into that. The way it loads the cassette into the player is brilliant, though getting a messed up tape out (as cassettes always manage to do in the end) would be a total nightmare. Very interesting.

Thanks for posting. I was very much into audio equipment in the mid to late 70s but I have never seen this particular machine. Yamaha, Phase Linear, Kenwood, Marantz, B&O. Brings back good memories. Thanks!

I’ve really come to enjoy your channel. Your enthusiasm coupled with your knowledgeable presentation make for excellent videos. I also appreciate your vocabulary as many of these type videos the hosts swear their heads off. Irritating to listen to and, as he gets older, I’m looking forward to watching these with my step-son, as he shows an interest in fiddly little mechanisms and the like. Thankyou for all your work

Wonderful machine, really enjoyed that video (and keep up the puppet sequences please :) ).

@cronos222 7 лет назад

That was a lot of hip hop and rap . Don't take this the wrong way but I had you pictured as more of a Phil Collins man .

@cronos222 -- Yeah, I was about to say....He's a bit of a Hypocrite...He "Marvels" at 1970's Hi-Fi technology, yet there is NOT one 1970's Album/Cassette title played in that machine......Ridiculous !....SMDH...

@margix1172 5 лет назад

Much much better Phil Collins (he at least is a REAL Musician) than (c)rap garbage.

@MayaPosch 8 лет назад

That the best kind of mechanical pornography to start the day off with :) I'd also say that this particular machine is more special than the 8-track one because it is actually programmable. The whole control section and different ways of playing back the tapes is fascinating considering the limited technology they were working with back then.

Great video! I remember this machine from print ads; my friends and I couldn’t afford to buy them back in the 70’s. Thanks for showing it’s operation!
