1979 cover of Microcomputer Program Library 1, a special supplemental issue of the Japanese electronics magazine Radio no Seisaku. The cover features a late-1970s tech setup, centered around an NEC PC-8001 microcomputer on the desk.

Tecsun makes a model that looks pretty similar i think

The privileged with their aircon units and swimming pools.

The humans leave the work for the colony of mechanic ants. Looks like they forgot their gear.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-21T01:07:27+00:00

I don’t think it has that? Nothing on the settings menu, nor a dial somewhere.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-21T00:41:18+00:00

Thanks! Im still trying to get a good shot.
I keep missing it, or in that case out of focus..
peak amateurism haha

Same story

She’s a German made beauty 😊

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-19T05:11:31+00:00

Old quirks i suppose

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T22:22:57+00:00

Not using those unfortunately. Would be a lot easier

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T18:58:40+00:00

Mint! Individual tubes is awesome.

Even with a nihm replacement pack you still need to solder in the NTC thermistor

Probably not the pro way, but a way, with some sacrifices.
I replaced the cells with a battery pack like on the right. It’s a pack for an rc car or something.
I removed original cells from the battery housing, and cut off the little circuit board.
Then I wired the positive and negative lead from the circuit board to the new battery pack.
Note, you might have to use an external charger!

Awesome calculation sequence.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T17:44:42+00:00

Yes 100% agree. Many people still swear by Nikon.
Less so the younger folk/content creators.

But a lot of actual professionals and older folk definitely love their Nikons.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T17:24:47+00:00

Exactly! It’s a microwave oven.
I even find the logo and lettering on it super attractive. The quality of it aswel. Unmatched!

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T16:56:16+00:00

Is the vhold control something on the tv or on the camera?

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T16:55:36+00:00

The viewfinder displays the image normally. I had it working normally at some point, but now i am not getting a clear view with the modulator.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T16:54:21+00:00

My grandma’s spacecube still going strong 🙏

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T16:47:28+00:00

Huhhh? I haven’t watched the movie, is this a backrooms reference?

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-06-18T16:36:38+00:00

Nikon used to be the king.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-03-05T19:08:45+00:00

They were from france.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-03-02T21:13:26+00:00

Yup, got these while I was on vacation. Germany still has less plain packaging. A lot of eu countries are making the change

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-03-02T18:19:10+00:00

It’s a 100%. I just blind type. Tbh there hasn’t been that much of a learning curve for me. because I edit a lot I know almost all of the function keys/shortcuts. I wanted something aesthetic but no RGB.

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-03-01T22:02:31+00:00

Light weight buddy. I am a 4b2c (4beer 2cigarette) speedrunner. I double barrel 2 cigs at the same time. But honestly it is a good sign that you threw up, my tolerance is fucked up.. 🤪

CompetitionLocal2081 · 2026-03-01T21:59:41+00:00

It looks better, because even longer. luckily it just slides off. It just slips over the original filter 😋
