my friend has three boxes of videos to give away as a job lot. Most of them are Essendon games/bits of Essendon games/ other Essendon related shows, but there are some other games as well. Pics below, hopefully they are readable!
I still have a box of videos. - 2000 grand final, Cathy Freeman 400m at olympics, and 4x400m at comm games, plus some good movies.
haven’t had a video player for over 12 years though.
When l first started teaching there were a few around, but no photocopiers. If we wanted multiple copies of documents we had to use carbon paper and crank out what were called spirit copies. They were only good for about 60 copies before they blurred.
That reminds me of another throwback in technology. When l was at teachers’ college in 1978, we had to get an 8 mm projector licence, which included demonstrating how to splice damaged film. If we wanted to show films in class, they had to be ordered in from the department, and yes, they arrived in canisters on reels.
These last 2 posts should be in the getting old thread.
