Just watched the latest episode of James May the Reassembler from BBC4.*
Now playing the surprise test 7" used to see if James got it right after 8 hours of reassembling a vintage portable record player.
Lots of wonderful commentary about the role of the portable record player in the 50s and 60s, the cassette revolution, values vs transistors, and a screwdriver everyone needs in their life.
Favorite quote: "There was a bit of a debate among the crew early on about what it was that truly made this portable. Was it the advent of a universal mains plug? Was it that it was compact? And then Dan the soundman pointed out that it's because it's got a handle on it."
