Turns out this thing is worth a little money – I looked around and they sell for $2-300 generally, so there’s still a market for them. Funny to me – I wonder if that’s around what they sold for back when they were originally manufactured. Scale seems about right but it’s a little before my time so I’m not sure.
something to do with the image moving in a blur in front of me as i wound the tape. i’d be looking for something, date undetermined, and so spin the handle – stop – spin the handle – stop – and then have to get up and talk a stroll. this would be in the early 60’s wooster daily record, and then again early 70s newsday. blech . . . really.

jeez, those things made me dizzy and nauseous at the same time. just looking at the picture makes me want to vomit.

Why did they make you dizzy and nauseous?

and then the replacement type that was slides of individual pages. less nausea, but same result.
