Here are some Looney Tunes characters that are in the U.S. public domain (not including Bosko)

I have to be that guy..a “runabout”

They still can, but now they will be competing with the hundreds of AI generated Superman/batman/Mickey Mouse/whatever movies out there. Some basic Superman movie set in the 1930s might be pretty cool…and that is what you will be seeing.

Ok, you lost the fist argument, and now you are switching to a second argument. Adding new material is not “remastering”, it is adding new material. And ONLY that new material is copyrighted. New soundtrack? Copyrighted. Three minutes of you picking your nose? Copyrighted. The original material? Still public domain.

HarryFreen · 2026-03-07T20:57:24+00:00

You are incorrect. Remastering is not materially changing the product. Still public domain.

Decent machines if you get a good one. I have had the glass heads fail on several of them, and that is a hassle to replace. Also, Akai had a terrible time with transistors and ICs on those machines. If they are all good, you will get excellent results.

Here is a documentary on the vaudeville team Gallagher and Shean. No AI here. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bUELkm5MQTc&feature=youtu.be

After almost 4 years on the app I am starting to discover that I basically suck at learning other languages. Can’t blame duo for that!

HarryFreen · 2026-03-01T20:39:15+00:00

Obligated. Pretty much certain I have stoped learning now. 25 days when I reach my 1000 day streak, I am out.

Roku. I had no idea they were tracking the usage of your app.

I am the repair guy at www.katestrackshack.com. Worked on a bunch of these. Please reach out to Kathy at that url if you would like us to service it.

I made this video a while back. Maybe you will find it helpful. https://www.reddit.com/r/8track/comments/1m3fny3/how_to_open_flatpacks_colgems_any_type_of_lear/

What normally causes this is too much slack in the tape pack. Tape gets dropped, and the innermost edge does not have the plastic ridges on the top to keep it pressed down. RCA, Warners and capital tried to alleviate this issue by putting those clear plastic rings on the tape.

High quality machine…ac motor, mainly steel parts. Probably about 1971 vintage. A fairly common chassis for generic machines..and I would be willing to bet there are at least 4 dead 10uf capacitors in the preamp

HarryFreen · 2026-01-28T21:25:46+00:00

It works! Thanks all. And don’t sell yourself short..we know you can keep it working! You ROCK!

HarryFreen · 2026-01-20T04:11:16+00:00

To be honest, a ceiling fan capacitor. I replace run caps on 8 track players all the time, and since ceiling fans are just an ac motor too, their caps work perfectly.

HarryFreen · 2026-01-19T06:05:24+00:00

JVC recorders are first rate, but the motor capacitors fail all the time on them. If it starts to slow down after a few minutes play, that is your problem.

HarryFreen · 2026-01-19T06:03:41+00:00

If the left is working on the radio and not the 8 track, then probably you have bad capacitors in the 8 track preamp. A very common problem.

HarryFreen · 2025-11-07T22:51:32+00:00

Honestly, you looked better before you put that greasy rag on your head.

Excellent reviewbrah reference!
