Patreon exclusive - Schaub Lorenz 5001 extras.

What happened to the folder?

Thanks for the George Benson trivia (trivium?) Amazingly talented dude...

I kept thinking the sinister silhouette of Kenneth Branagh from "Wild Wild West" was waiting outside and about to erupt in and attack you! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/37/4b/f6/374bf688339fc0c8ea0944455a2fb5dc.gif Great chat as always. My fave part of being a Patreon.

Thank you, TM! This should be an absolute treat. :D :D :D

"Well Jimmy, if I were alive just 20 years later, I'd say that's a classic case of Antibiotic inappropriate prescription and why we're in the **** we are now...' Funny bloke Kenny, straight from genuinely innovative stuff, risky jokes, wacky pranks that got him sacked more than once to a crappy 'Gold' station. That's like going from pirate radio (of the Grime / towerblock kind) to a Sunday Afternoon Radio 2 show in one move.

Goodness - Tape Recorder Magazine.... I’ve still got 5 years worth in my attic - it really is the adverts that make it for me. If they’re online, perhaps I should recycle them? 😉

aaaahhhhhh.... Radio Luxembourg! Memories! It was forbidden in my house so I used to sneak listen on my old Japanese transistor radio (mono of course)... with a HUGE white single earpiece that would hurt after a while...

Good stuff, Mat - always a pleasure to see and hear you. Keep it up - I really enjoy these informal chats. And you even showed everyone's favourite Shadow; I wonder how many of the others are so easily recognised?

Stop apologizing for taking our time, that's why we subscribe and listen to you! I'd rather hear your ramblings over say the new must see programs talking about personal problems I can't relate to, or feel uncomfortable just hearing! Thanks for making and sharing. These types of finds are like little suspense thrillers: what has Techmoan found? Can it be fixed? Will he be able to get it working long enough to record? It's gripping and such a rollercoaster ride through memories and if you have the item in a state that you can get the recordings off it before it goes caput. I've said before your shows are like Christmas presents, but year round, and you share the joy of the old technology that we felt or wondered about. I must also highly compliment your tinkering skills! Far above average, and forget about the jerks who razz your pronunciation: they just need a healthy dose of Milk of Magnesia to fix their problem. Thank you!

Jimmy Young's voice just reminds me of visiting my grandmother in Brighton in the 1980s. On the radio, obviously, I mean he didn't live with her or anything...

"As always ... thanks for making these." :-) I do agree with you, this machine is video gold dust. Fascinating.

I found this video interesting and is my favorite patreon exclusive so far.

Btw.. what's the Hank Marvin reference in here? (I could only watch a bit of the video so far). :)

I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to work out the when Kenny Everett recording is from based on the March to Southport it's 12th July and news about Anthony Greenwood makes 1970 but that's a Sunday and he worked on Saturday's on Radio 1 at the time. The Jackson 5 were out of the charts with ABC at that point so maybe it's 11/07/1970 or did Kenny cover for someone on the Sunday?

I love Ed 'UFO' Bishop doing the enthusiastic voiceover on the 'Twilight's Last Gleaming' advert.

The set was a wonderful change of pace and you look a whole lot more relaxed at the same time. Excellent. I do like these sorta fireside chats.

The dramatic lighting look mostly worked (for me at least) — the shadows on the blinds looked art designer intentional. So really only the shadows on your face were a bit harsh. Probably fixable with a fill light shining up onto your face, or maybe just a bounce card reflecting back up into your face for fill. Otherwise I think it suits “industrial” style topics :-) Thanks for the interesting details on the machine and the samples. I’m glad to hear you’ve found something out of all the recordings. Ewen

Thank you for all that extra information. As for the pronunciations: Your pronunciation of those German names is quite decent for an English speaker who is using them in an English language context. We all do some adaptation when using foreign language words in our own language. I for example, consider my English pronunciation to be kind of okay, but when I am using English words in German sentences, I adapt their pronunciation slightly. I for example do not roll the r in Trump or Microsoft any more, as this sound does not at all exist in the German language and thus would make the word sound really alien. Such adaptations are even done on the radio. With Tefifon and Schaub-Lorenz you would have the same problem, as the German o sound in Tefifon and Lorzenz does not at all exist in English. You can hear Lorenz pronounced in German here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QGIiQpbVJY . The Tefifon here: https://youtu.be/IpyS3JLVsM8?t=38 . I would though not encourage you to pronounce it that way, as is would sound really awkward in English.

So it’s funny, your video (videos?) on reel to reel recorders pushed me to pick up a Teac 1000. (Similar to the one in Pulp Fiction). After I had it for a while, I remembered my brother at one point had a few reel to reel tapes from when I was in High School....the recorder from that time was broken down, but he still had the tapes. What I found were 6 mix tapes, recorded off the radio from the early 80s...(81-82ish). They had been stored in a box in an unheated garage in Minnesota for almost 20 years...and sounded as good as they did when I recorded them...a wonderful snapshot of time.

Thanks for sharing the audio files! The lightning in you your video did not shock me, but more the British weather. I hope you're doing fine over there. By the way, how did you get rid of the "Mah nà mah nà"?

I’m afraid I’ll have to unsubscribe from the channel Matt! “Twilight’s Last Gleaming” is an amazing title! You dare disrespect my national anthem on this, the day of my country’s birthday? Blasphemy!

Thanks for putting in the extra time on this one.

Hi Matt, thanks again for another great Patreon exclusive video. I really appreciate these and, as it's just for us, don't worry about things like lighting - it's great just to see and hear you talk and this particular subject was facinating. I had not heard of the Schaub Lorenz 5001 until I saw the main video so you have surprised me again with something amazing. To paraphrase you - as always, thanks for doing this.

Matt could just read the news paper out loud on his channel and i would still listen to every Word and continue my support on Patreon. Thats how good he is. 🙂

thanks for this! looking forward to listening through all the tracks!

Have you thought of putting a tarp over the roof of the conservatory to help with the shadows in the future? Maybe that would make it too dark?

The lighting thing must be very frustrating, but for these informal chats, they don't bother me at all. I would have tossed some bird seed up there to go for a nice Hitchcockian effect.

You'll find new versions of the audio - now in mono with no dead channel at http://pc.cd/SxtitalK

The "Chart" show from 🎶194 Radio City🎶 is just the best. I love the PAMS-style jingles and shouts. Thanks!!! But I like the device, too, very innovative but clearly the company was never able to overcome the reliability issues. Gotta go. Need to get to Woolworth's and get some of that new Sparkle.

You make a good point about songs being recycled every few years. Its a bit like fashion, needs to look new and stay stylish, even though it’s the same thing really.

Here in the upper midwest USA, I know a family named Schaub--they pronounce it SCHOBB and a family named Lorenz and they pronounce it LuhRENZ (rhymes with wrens). People differ in their pronunciations for various reasons. If you make the effort to pronounce a name the way the nameholder does (as you have done) why should anyone have a problem with it.

News 1977 is right channel only. Jimmy Young is left only. And some other a right only.

Wonderful that you are making the audiofiles available. Would it be too much to ask if you could save them as monofiles instead of stereo? Easier listening to them with headphones then. :)

You should consider uploading some of the radio programs to archive.org. They love stuff like this! :-D
