@HyperPolaris Can you please define “GMA”? (from the video title) Thank you in advance 😇

I started using these in 1979 at my elementary school

I remember this in JHS

My husband Otello Meucci worked for Borg-Warner when this System80 was being developed. Dr Lola May was used as the math consultant, BF Skinner for the positive reinforcement aspects of the programs. Tello became a regional sales manager for Philadelphia PA, DE, DC, parts of MD, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. It was a great teaching machine. We had one in Newark DE Elementary Special Ed class when I 10:16 was a teacher’s aide. Thanks for posting your demo video and your years of teaching!

Thanks for making this - I found some photos of one of these in use in the DC Public School system in '68 in a local history collection I work with and was curious to know how it worked.

My school had these machines, I remember it was a treat to get to resource center to use the System 80 machine. I think I was in 1st grade. I remember the buttons on the front

I remember using one of those in the mid-80s in grade school.

I’ve got three in the last year thinking the first one was bad the second one busted four months and I have the new one waiting to go in and now I see this video and I want to take my starter back to AutoZone and throw it through their ceiling

I mean yea a lot of companies do test them but it’s not the fact they couldn’t give you one bc they didn’t want to it’s bc AutoZone police is that if it test good we can give it back to you but can swap them out bc we get flagged in the system for jt

I created the short to share this starter failure on a 2007 Toyota Solara. When I took this failed starter to AutoZone, it bench tested OK. After some back-and-forth, they did give me a new starter and everything is now working. There’s an old Reddit thread with someone having a nearly identical issue - www.reddit.com/r/MechanicAdvice/s/i4qasnwUKM

I remember the system 80

I used a system 80 to help in reading lab in the 70’s

I remember using these in school a long time ago when I was 7.

I remember using this from remedial school. They would put us in a corner with the computer one at a time, where we would learn one or two strips with the headphones on while the others had free time. I only did the reading lessons as well as the purple ones. Unfortunately, the only thing I know about them is they had a rooster on the starting screen.

I used one of these as a child ! I remember it and loved it !

I had one in my first grade class in 1975!

We had one of these in my special ed classroom back in the early 80s I remember using them.

Wow this is my first time seeing Becca perform live. Gives me goosebump her voice is impeccable.

I had this machine in my class. I was in the 4th grade. Heard Mixon Elementary School Covington, Georgia. And I cheated, there was something like a thin piece of tissue and if you got it wrong, it would punch the hole. 😂 😂. Teacher was always on to my foolery. Mrs. Grady.

I remember System 80 and slides for it in the classroom in 1980's

I remember using this maching in the 1970s.

I remember using the System 80 when I was in Pre-K! I used big cushioned headphones!

I loved this as a kid in the 70's. It's cool to see now. Yup, I'm still a kid lol.

ty. I remember the long card. I've been looking for proof of this machine for a long time. I thought I imagined it!!!

When did these come out?

Used this everyday in my elementary school gifted “class” circa 1975-1977 Tell me you have the French Trainer.. i can still hear the song

Memories from grade school ❤ and it’s a shame kids don’t listen to they’re elders/parents today like we did as children 🙈

I strongly remember that this commercial incessantly aired during ABC World News This Morning, from 1982-1983.

Wow I forgot all about these, they had one at our elementary school first grade

I had one in the mid-70s. It was referred to as the Teaching Machine.

My Father, who just passed away, worked for Borg-Warner in Mount Prospect, IL making these and moved up through the company until Jostens bought the division of the company and sold off everything shutting it down. My Father loved that job and the people and the System80 product so much. He stood behind it and believed in the product. It makes me proud reading these comments knowing my Father had a small part in helping you educate yourselves. I found my Father kept a box that has a couple of filmstrips, student progress check cards, articles about the inner workings of the System80, some photos of the factory and coworkers, even a 4 color separation ad from it. I remember we always had a System80 at home growing up. One of his last duties at the company was to donate all the last boxes of records and filmstrips to a school. Thank you everyone for the stories and comments and putting a smile on my face today.

Used one of these many times during my elementary school years. The days before classroom computers.

Elementary school for me, back in the early 70s. I hated these machines. The slides were kept in soft plastic binder slips, and every time that plastic smell hits me now, it reminds me of these machines. And the big, bulky headphones we had to wear while using them. 😣 The constant clicking from button selection in the system80 classroom would be enough to drag a swift confession out of a hardened criminal!! 😂

Wow. I haven't seen one of these since about 1992 or so when I was in school. Cool flashback!

Memories of 3rd grade in 1979. thank you for posting.

i did joanie greg gains before work way back when. so happy to find her on you youtube. great workouts.

I used it in elementary school back in 1977.

I used one in 1974 at school. The lessons were kind of useless but I felt like I was living in the future. I was 8 years old.

Oh man...memories of Kindergarten! Thanks for posting this!

I've never seen one of those machine before, but I do remember a similar one that plays 45rpm records and a filmstrip made by Hoffman. But this thing takes the cake.

8:30 the angry burglar is breathing fire. You get an F

We had these in grade school. I fully intend to include their use in my defense if I’m ever on trial for something terrible.

Oh man, the memories... I remember thinking how cool this thing was (despite the anxiety it created.) Now it looks terribly antiquated, of course. On a side note, the math lady is sounding a little Katharine Hepburn-ish now.

1977

Nostalgic. I want one.

I recall using this system beginning in 1st grade (1975) or 2nd grade (1976). Thank you posting this video!
