For reasons still unclear, [Techmoan] has procured an RCA 8-track changer that holds five tape cartridges in a custom carrier. It somewhat works, but had a bit of mechanical issues here and there ...

And Techmoan’s own stats? At the last count, about 1.3 million subscribers and more than 323 million total views. There’s life beyond dancing cats on YouTube, you tube.

One of the most low-tech but universally applicable source is human mechanical power, as demonstrated by the rugged 1980s-era Messenger II tape player in a recent [TechMoan] video.

Audio-Technica's portable record player from the 80s is back and with new features like Bluetooth, it might win the hearts of a whole new generation.
