Maxwell should never have let go of that hammer. Also that machine should
have been properly recycled if discarded.

I was kinda hoping the cement block would tip the ladder over,
crushing the two of them instead. Shucks.

A little hype? SOTA tape recorder in its day?

The TC 277 was low end mid-fi on the best day of its life!

Isn't it funny how a lot of us become sentimental with
respect to obsolete gear?

Also, the whole video is a put-on. Hyperbole in the middle of a put-on,
whoda thunk! ;-)

The world moves on. The trick is to know how quickly to
follow.

If I remember the Sony numbering scheme of the day, 2xx meant that it was
2-headed. The 377 would have been the 3-headed version.

I owned a Sony 355, but regrettably traded it in for an Ampex 755. After
that, came my Revox A77.

[Tobiah]

As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?


There is not enough information to say, and it
could be zero, given that 'I' am none of kits, cats,
sacks, and wives.

The camera operator/narrator said that "its day"
was "back in the '20s". It would have seemed
miraculous back in the 1920s. :-)

Why would you need a tape recorder with seven heads?

So you could say:

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a tape recorder with seven heads.

Of course, to the kid with the hammer, the '20's and the '70's are all
the same.

I assume that this post will be answered by several red-faced Yosemite Sam
impersonators from rec.audio.pro, each of them hurling invectives at you.

Gad, what a useless newsgroup that must be.

I was waiting for the kid bashing in the still powered meters to get
electrocuted.

Ah, I get it Matthew, you're the father in the video ... ?

No, you wouldn't have any classical recordings to talk about over your way
without us around.

Logically incorrect; the 'I' doesn't have to be you. Common usage has that a
person 'met' is proceeding in the direction opposite yours. If he were going
in your direction it would be 'overtook'. So the 'man' is not going to St.
Ives, and he wife/accouterments problem is immaterial, though it does appear
to be a problem.

"he wife/accouterments": the 'he' should be 'the', though 'his' will work.
I am increasingly alarmed by the number of wives , and their burdens. hope I
can sleep tonight.

And why should you be?

The usual glib answer is "one", assuming the others were coming FROM
St. Ives. But this is not necessarily implied by "met". You might
have overtaken them, they might have joined you from another path.

There's another one: "If it takes a man a day to dig a hole, how long
does it take two men to dig half a hole?" Glib answer: "There's no
such thing as half a hole!". But, by the terms of the question,
there is.

Lesser examples of this sort of ambiguity turn up all the time in the
box-ticking type of test. It's very unfair to the deeper-thinking
student.
