Have you ever used one of those?


While working at the audiovisual department of City College of San Francisco, my supervisor Mark Albright realized that the school was throwing away much of it’s old equipment. Mark had the idea of making an archive with all the relics. The first part of the process was to discuss which machinery to photograph, and how to do it. Then I went to studio several times with a number of different equipments, both experimenting and learning. The first of a great series to come here in Connection is the Audiotronics 300 VT. It fits long plays, and has its own speakers. Also has a neat little handle, that made my life easier, because I had to carry the equipment around campus. The Audiotronics is quite heavy. I wanted to be faithful to the color because it is linked to the period in which it was made.
