he has to be kidding. how the hell would you tape radio onto video tape? and why?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:24pm
dale:

vhs had three speeds - slow is three hours on a 60 minute tape. as long as the patch cords matched from phono output on the receiver to in on the vhs recorder - pretty simple.
Avatar 7:24pm
mb:

@Linda - you just hook up the RCA jacks to a mixer or another tape deck. I beleive you get better fidelity with the wider tape.
Avatar 7:24pm
Linda Lee:

still not sure why you'd do it. we did have cassettes back then.
Avatar 7:25pm
Linda Lee:

they were cheap too!
Avatar 7:26pm
Linda Lee:

far more portable.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:27pm
dale:

it's about recording length linda.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:27pm
dale:

..and if you don't have a cassette deck....
Avatar 7:29pm
Linda Lee:

i'd go portable over fidelity of a recording of a bad signal. iirc more of us had cassette decks & boom boxes than vhs players ~ which were generally the size of samsonite suitcases.

Ken From Hyde Park:

Danny Devito's co-star in the Twins movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, had emergency open heart surgery the other day. Hope he makes a full recovery.
Avatar 7:32pm
Linda Lee:

in any cases i hope Vinnie digitizes that stuff before the tapes literally fall apart.
Avatar 7:32pm
Number Six:

Don't forget, what's the average length of an FMU show. You could record 2 3 hour shows one 1 vhs instead of having to flip & swap cassettes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:33pm
dale:

c120s had shitty fidelity.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:34pm
Robert Tables:

This topic about recording radio to VHS was on another recent show's comments board. Someone said that consumer tape decks generally lacked programmability, but it was a very commmon feature on VCRs.
Avatar 7:35pm
mb:

Holy Sons is a band that records to VHS tape. They get the tapes from people who throw out their Grateful Dead bootleg movies.
Avatar 7:35pm
Linda Lee:

i guess the listening & sharing was more important than the recording for me. i liked portability. cassettes were also easy to duplicate & share. most of us couldn't duplicate vhs tapes & the players were disappearing even as cassette decks became more & more portable.
Avatar 7:35pm
Number Six:

True. You wouldn't have to be there to make the recording.

slugluv1313:

yes! theme from "Taxi"!
was just thinking of that show yesterday -- never watched it while it was on (think i was in college and without a TV -- nice!)
but watched it all the time when it was in re-runs (mid-1980s, i think?)
now, just evokes (for me, at least) those "old" days of NYC -- not that NYC was ever a small town, but definitely had more personality back then -- sure there were the cold and sterile "business" areas but the whole city certainly did not feel like that!

hi Linda Lee!!! hope all is good!
yes! isn't that theme from "Taxi" wonderful?

Great show! Devon, why don't you like to talk about where you're from? Loved your chat with Vinnie. I miss hearing him call into the Stern show while riding the bus to work.
