Hi Guys,

Seen this many times, it is fascinating though (I never knew that David
Nixon was Eric Robinson's son-in-law for a start!). Quite amusing the
way the sound lags slightly behind the picture, also interesting that
they put a camera inside so that you could see the tapes going up and
down - and a very early printed circuit board too. Must be the motor
controller. Notice we didn't get to see it cycling. This would be a
Mark 2 so the cycling problems should have been sorted by then.

Notice also how fast the guy at the end is playing it - I never knew
you could do that!

Regards,
Steve.
