Laserdisc Turtle (Ewan)Tonight I finally watched one of the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/laserdiscs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#laserdiscs</a> that I got while I was in Japan last month."Who Am I?" - one of my favourite <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JackieChan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JackieChan</a> films. So much fun and great to finally see the full length Hong Kong cut which has different editing and is around 10 mins longer. Great 5.1 AC3 track too!

Jessie Nabein :neofox_peek_owo:WAHOO!!! More friends join my plushie collection.It's the <a href="https://global.pioneer/en/corp/info/history/chronology/archives/1980/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LaserKaraoke parrot</a> and his band ensemble!! From Japan!!!Really hard to find info on the blue and purple parrots, but they are backup support it seems otherwise! They appear to be fully licensed products down to a very small PIONEER stamp/insignia found within the attached loop tag near the feet.Yahooooooo!! 💿 <blockquote>Pioneer, Jun 1984.

Laserdisc Turtle (Ewan)A friend is heading to <a href="https://mas.to/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#London</a> for a few days and is asking for any recommendations for places to find <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Laserdiscs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Laserdiscs</a>. The only place I've ever found them on my visits is Sister Ray's. Any other suggestions?In my experience London is pretty poor for <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Retro</a> tech shopping.

Laserdisc Turtle (Ewan)For those of you who have never seen a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/laserdisc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#laserdisc</a> player change sides!It's a crazy design! The whole laser pickup flips to the opposite side of the machine while the disc stops, changes direction and speeds up again. I assume all the stabilisation hardware built into the pickup made it too expensive to add one for each side. Either way you'd still have to wait for the disc to stop, change direction, and speed up again. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/laserdiscs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#laserdiscs</a>
