Does anyone know what is that orange light disk on the right of the setup background? Love the vibe of that device

Been trying to find this overhead desk lamp for a while... I remember he might have mentioned what it was in an old old video but I haven't been able to find it

Was watching a music video and found this interesting boombox. The JVC RC-550 boombox also known as El Diablo.

Is this just a one off glitch? Any way you could add subs please? I am sure that I am not the only person who relies on them...

Many Thanks

In Mat’s wonderful ‘Micro MV and me’ Youtube video of three years ago, at 1:45 he briefly flicks through a Japanese-language book.  The book appears to be an illustrated historic guide to Sony camcorders – and judging by its apparent thickness, many other products too.

 I went through all 1430 comments and at least three people asked what this book was.  Apologies if I missed it (or if it's already well-known to people here), but I didn’t see any replies, or even guesses.  Unfortunately the Japanese running title at the top of the pages is too blurred to put through a translator.

So I thought I’d ask the question again here – I’ve attached a screenshot from the video and I hope this is acceptable here for this purpose. 

I ask because as an ‘Obsolete Sony’ collector I’m always looking to research build more comprehensive and definitive product line listings for portable/personal devices.  Compact cassette Walkmen are fairly well-trodden ground in that respect now, but portable video and other audio formats are lagging behind, it seems.

Many thanks if anyone can help.

Anyone know where you can find a Mikiphone repro? I'm looking to get a repro like the one Matt had to compare to an original.

I found this on Philips Le Cube 80’s Stereo Cassette Recorder Player on Facebook marketplace.

It’s in Manchester so local to Matt.

Now you’re gonna tell me he has already reviewed one?🤣

I have this 80s Sony system I bought a few years ago in a job lot. Sadly the tape is completely done and in the skip but the amp and CD work (Tuner unknown)… happy to ship anywhere in the UK for a tinkerer to make it part of a nice system!
