The chapter explores the process of refurbishing old Polaroid cameras by painting the inside black to prevent light leaks and delves into the technicalities of two head versus three head cassette decks. It further discusses the challenges in creating a new cassette player in the modern era, balancing quality and affordability while maintaining a love for cassette tapes and retro technology.
We've got another mid-week bonus episode for you! This week, Ellis talks to the owners and founders of a company out of Milwaukee that is fighting to keep old tech alive. Retrospekt started out selling Polaroid cameras and quickly expanded to include all kinds of neat tech. It's definitely a fun conversation with people who are clearly passionate about what they do. Enjoy!
