This channel features videos about vintage audio equipment explorations, preservations, and restorations.
It focuses on name brand (SONY, AIWA, WOLLENSAK, etc.) consumer grade vintage reel to reel and cassette tape recorders sold in the U.S. during the 1960s.
The goal is to document the designs and mechanics of these vintage machines for education, entertainment, and to maintain the historical record of this legacy of magnetic electro-mechanical audio recording.
This YouTube channel -- named in honor of the owner's cat: "Clyde Big Paws" who died in 1997 -- is a public service and receives no funding of any kind, either from Google or Patreon. It is a gift from the channel owner -- who lived through the historical period covered -- to posterity so that some of the audio technology that helped a shape the world of the 21st Century will not be forgotten.
