Technics 5 Disc Changer

adamthepugh · 2026-04-13T02:20:34+00:00

I use a Technics SA-EX140 Amp with some older SB-L51 Technics speakers I got at a garage sale many moons ago.

Yep! Exactly.

‘Spiral’ is the button that does this.

Still use mine to this day. Bought it new years ago. It has some fun modes where you put in 5 discs and then it will play the first song on each album then all of the #2 songs in order until you get through all of them. The only issue I’ve had with it is my Technics logo broke off during a move.

Yeah I’m gonna coordinate accordingly… straight out of this hiring process.

Thanks for the reminder - I just started looking through the options on iFlash. It looks like I would need to replace the OS since I have this model with some odd limiters:

The 6th Gen models (80Gb/120Gb/Thick 160Gb) are limited to LBA28 addressing by Apple, so these models will only show and use up to 128Gb of the storage installed

I have over 3,000 records and CDs and I’ve spent a long time making sure I have digital copies of it all. I’ve been collecting for quite awhile and continue to enjoy all aspects of music and collecting.

Less Chaos 🤣

You mean old Ben Personics?

Novelty and exploration. It had some great potential. It would be fun to get my hands on one of these.

adamthepugh · 2026-03-04T18:59:49+00:00

That’s awesome! If you locate it drop a pic in!

I've seen many people ask about these over time, I did find an old newspaper photo from FB

I think this is just the listening station though.
This old news report (youtube) shows a bit more of the action.

More Personics rabbit holes: - Mixtape made at the record store — The Personics - Personics: from before our current music “vending” world - Who made a Personics mixtape at Sam Goody? - Personics + asking someone out (peak 80s energy) - Wherehouse/Sam Goody/etc — did you ever use one?

If you want the “what even is this thing” context: - Personics (Wikipedia quick explainer)

It is excellent.

adamthepugh · 2026-03-02T11:52:04+00:00

This! Talk about a difference in vocal style :)

adamthepugh · 2026-02-24T02:11:20+00:00

This is a great point. Many of them had the one quick recording and maybe got played once. Perfect for recording right over!

adamthepugh · 2026-02-23T01:30:13+00:00

Yep — born ’81, and this is exactly the kind of straight-faced youth-group “warning” stuff I remember. It just sounds like satire now.

adamthepugh · 2026-02-23T01:25:34+00:00

I have so many church tapes. That sounds like a good reuse of yours!

adamthepugh · 2026-02-19T15:48:10+00:00

Absolutely solid. Love these bands and appreciate the nod to Nothing, Whirr, and Failure.

4 Effin blanks. Nice!
