[dorkbotdc-blabber] ISO: Gramophone + other dead media players

[Lorne]

I gave two Hitachi videodisc players to HacDC, and have some discs 
still, if that's not too modern.  They're the early kind where the lid 
opens.  They probably don't work, but I do have a more modern Pioneer 
that does.  I also have a very old table-top silent 16mm projector (the 
kind that will poke holes in your sound film should you attempt to run 
it through).

Ciao!

P.S. - I'm sure you are aware of this, but when it was active, the Dead 
Media mailing list run by Bruce Sterling and Tom Jennings had a wealth 
of info on AMAZING dead media.  The list is gone, but the archives are 
available here:
