Obscure 1991 hand held game machine - The J.Cock Z400S Techmoan 2022-03-05 | Thought you'd seen every 1990s hand held colour video game machine? Enter the J.Cock.New Techmoan Merch now available: etsy.com/uk/shop/nerdkeyz?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=37136753If you know your historical gambling devices, you’ll have heard of a Trade Stimulator - if you're unfamiliar, these were small counter-top games of chance where you could win things such as bubble gum and cigarettes. These would commonly have been found in general stores in the US in the early 20th century. Whilst the machines presented a front of innocence to authorities, they were often used as a means to circumvent anti-gambling laws. By using the bubble gum payouts as tokens, your customers could gamble real money, with any winnings being paid by exchanging the ‘prizes’ with cash from the store’s till. The reason I mention these is that this is effectively what I have to show you today. But this one dates from the early 1990s and comes from Japan - a country with its own perculiar gambling regulations… as demonstrated in my previous video about pachinko. youtu.be/bWV_zpRrCko00:00 Start01:53 In the box03:38 Problems05:46 It’s alive06:12 Playing the game11:09 DIP switches12:16 Specs12:43 Inside the case14:15 More than meets the eye15:32 Mat’s Karaoke bar & illegal gambling den16:52 Oh yes it is..19:13 Merch plug19:27 Patreon creditsFAQsQ) But surely gambling like this would be illegal?A) Yes, that’s why I included the information above about illegal gambling in the US during the time of prohibition. Companies in the US made Trade Stimulators at a time when gambling was illegal knowing full well they were making devices that were being used for gambling - but it’s the act of gambling not the device that was illegal. You can bet on almost anything if you want, the colour of the next car coming round the corner..they can't ban everything. Poker is played with playing cards, but playing cards are still legal in Japan…ask Nintendo. Q) Is there an anti tamper feature?A) It appears so, there is a mention of this in the instructions.UPDATE/CORRECTION1) It appears turning the key to add credits is a standard feature - not a modification. 2) The two pins below the lock on the right hand side will clear out the credits when bridged - e.g. with the key. - Therefore there is no need to open the machine up in normal usage - the bartender (etc) only needs the credit key. There's a lot of talk about lock-picking, it appears a common location for a machine like this was on a bar, a place where the usage would be monitored by a bartender. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?...------------- SUPPORT ---------------This channel can be supported through Patreon patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos*******---------- Outro Music -----------Over Time - Vibe Tracks youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw------ Outro Sound Effect ------ThatSFXGuy - youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE -------All links are Affiliated where possible.When you click on links to various merchants posted here and make a purchase, this can result in me earning a commission.

A very odd Walkman. Ever used one of these? Techmoan 2022-02-12 | A quick video about an unusual Sony Walkman. Can you fill in the blanks?UPDATE 1 - A patron found this newspaper article about the Soundalive company. getsurrey.co.uk/news/business/firm-brings-historic-ports-heritage-4853435UPDATE 2: - Here's what we've learned so far. *The Soundalive! company provided a variety of narration devices for a number of locations.*People remember using these devices on tours in places such as Westminster Abbey - those tapes contained narration describing details about the surroundings. *It is believed that the music tapes, such as the one I used in this video were likely not used on tours, but instead were something created just to be sold in a museum gift shop. *Some people who have used these devices remember them pausing at appropriate narrative gaps on the tape and it's postulated that in these cases it could have been the tape itself that somehow triggered the auto-pause feature. The listener would then restart the tape whenever they wanted to continue with the narration. Of course it's possible that this was a feature present on a different model. With this particular machine it's not clear how a tape would trigger a pause. The tape mechanism appears just to house a standard stereo cassette play head with nothing out of the ordinary coming into contact with the tape. Output is in stereo. *There are still questions surrounding about how, where and when the radio signal pause feature was implemented. It’s possible the radio interference pausing the machine (something which can also be triggered by holding a smartphone next to the player) is just co-incidence and it’s mimicking a signal that might have been present on the narration tapes. * It was questioned as to whether a period of silence could be the thing that stops the player. I checked and the machine will continuously play through a blank tape from beginning to end without pausing. So it's not this. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1------------- Merchandise -----------------teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch------------- SUPPORT ---------------This channel can be supported through Patreon patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos*******---------- Outro Music -----------Over Time - Vibe Tracks youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw------ Outro Sound Effect ------ThatSFXGuy - youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE -------All links are Affiliated where possible.When you click on links to various merchants posted here and make a purchase, this can result in me earning a commission.

How CD players lost their cool & why the Technics SL-P1200 didn’t. Techmoan 2022-01-22 | Forty years ago CD players were the cool new thing.
