    7:09 David, you hold in your hands a machine that's responsible for SO many anime fan subs back in the day. This is a huge part of western anime culture actually! a massive contributor to the actual dubbing as well as making the distribution of the medium on physical media possible, this machine was used by all fan subbers back then in Europe and North America and was instrumental in the anime subculture exploding in the west.
    A very important piece in audio-visual counter-culture! and in underground hobbys period

    Oh - wow... I totally had flashbacks of that bar code reader / keyboard combo. There was a "piano store" in our local shopping mall, and they were probably 50% electronic keyboards in the early to mid-80s. This particular Casio model was on display front-and-center of the shop, just inside the entrance. As teens we'd amuse ourselves for as long as we could (until the guy working the store kicked us out) playing with the bar code reader and messing with the sounds on the keyboard.

    I used to have a Silver Reed EB50 in the early 90s. A relative bought it new in 1984. It works as a standalone typewriter but it's quite slow because it draws the letters, so even a fairly slow typist can type faster than it can print. I guess that's why they passed it on to me a few years later. IIRC it has a built-in function to print bar charts. As far as I know it'll work with any older computer that can be connected to a printer with a Centronics port. The manual explains how to get it to print text and also work as a plotter. As long as the cartridges are unopened they should be OK - they are basically very small ballpoint pens and dry out quite fast.

The light pen was a strange accessory, and the sounds were interesting - the rhythm sounds put me in mind of the old style electric organ rhythm sections, and whilst none of the sounds attempted any kind of fidelity to real instruments, many of them wouldn’t have been out of place in Doctor Who of that time period. Look forward to seeing you covering it on 8-Bit Keys.

    I can't wait for the Okimate video! My middle school had one of these back in the 80's. I loved that printer, the colors looked so good for the time. But I always hated to see the transfer tape wasted when you didn't need one of the colors on any give line.

      I think it's the stuff they use to prevent the plastic from catching fire. So, it just melts rather than burns. Side-effect is the discolouring. I think it will always go yellow no matter how many times you restore the colour.

    A Plotter! Now there's a blast from the past! I remember them; they were around mostly in the late eighties until printing technology appeared that put plotters to shame. Still, fun little things; although that one is quite small. I remember at that size most printers sufficed; so when you did see plotters they were usually huge A3 paper monsters.
