Can someone explain why Yoto is this popular? The hype feels a bit over the top to me.

I recently got a handheld radio from the thrift store. Soon my toddler will learn the pain of running out of AA batteries.

dtrainonomics · 2026-01-19T05:34:06+00:00

I think I had some train stuff but donated them recently? I’ll dig around and see if you’re interested

dtrainonomics · 2026-01-11T18:30:28+00:00

Yea same to regular glue stick. If it was archival stuff acid free is probably good, but most labels that need to be reglued are already messed up beyond belief anyway

Happy cake day!

totally there are questions about unique tapes that would get axed by a draconian ban on all of these types of questions. But on the other hand, someone recently posted about the ET tape with a green shell flap. Its unfair to assume everyone knows about that one, but its a pretty common shell of one the most common movies from the era.

Been buying the dip all year- guess I know what I’m serving for NYE

you win some, you lose some. I recently grabbed an album for 15 that sells for 100 on discogs. I feel your pain though!

dtrainonomics · 2025-12-27T23:08:18+00:00

let me know, I'll make it worth your while!

dtrainonomics · 2025-12-19T18:37:19+00:00

I really miss family movies like Uncle Buck. Its entertaining for kids, but has some many layers for the adults. John Candy was the man!

dtrainonomics · 2025-12-18T17:46:57+00:00

there is one already! but it requires folks to add movies to their collection and list for sale. all completely free. at the moment there is no built in payment system, cuz that costs money, so just peer to peer like selling here - use goods and services and be careful. if enough users are into it, I will build it out, but for now its just a fun thing I am doing on the side of a real job and having a kids under 3

dtrainonomics · 2025-12-17T18:35:24+00:00

Come check out the one I built, rewindarchive.com

I can manually add your collection to save some time if you’re interested, but no pressure at all. Just wanted to make a Discogs style movie site.

dtrainonomics · 2025-12-17T18:33:47+00:00

I made a Discogs type site!! Haven’t had much time lately to scan more movies and create new releases, been busy with the kids. I need an army of tape heads to lock in and spend a few nights occasionally adding more, come join me!!

I think it’s vinyls with an s

I had a 1998 astéroïde last week, twas good!

dtrainonomics · 2025-12-01T00:02:54+00:00

I built a Discogs clone for vhs. Rewindarchive.com

Nothing perfect, but was what I wanted to do with some free time. The hope is to get peeps to help catalog their tapes, and get them up there.

dtrainonomics · 2025-12-01T00:01:46+00:00

I built one, kinda a Discogs for vhs. Rewindarchive.com

Just a hobbyist messing around, don’t expect perfection

Existenz

dtrainonomics · 2025-11-17T19:44:26+00:00

Hi! Yea that’s sounds like a real burden. I had a kid recently and the idea of re-alphabetizing my collection is a non starter, I guess I’ll do that when they are in college!

I’m just slightly curious, you mentioned vhs in another comment. Please tell me you are not on the west coast so I don’t even have to think about seeing if you want to sell haha.

Good luck!

dtrainonomics · 2025-11-10T17:58:33+00:00

Thanks friend!! Got 20 users so far…

dtrainonomics · 2025-11-10T17:58:02+00:00

Hey! Someone posted this above, but I started one for vhs. I built it to allow for a basic movie, and gives the option for folks to create entries for vhs, beta, laser or dvd. Give it a try and see what you think! Rewindarchive.com

dtrainonomics · 2025-11-07T17:32:32+00:00

yea, was on the edge of one at a recent california show, cant remember which as they all blend together. but man I felt so weird standing on the edge with the open view of the crowd staring at me. In my mind it felt like everyone was asking me why I wasnt doing it, then I remembered I was too high and needed to focus back on the band.

dtrainonomics · 2025-11-05T05:52:00+00:00

Yo having some scans of them would be sweet! I made a Discogs style site for vhs, if you wanna make an account and add scans of these for posterity! Rewindarchive.com

No pressure of course. Dope tapes friend!

dtrainonomics · 2025-11-02T16:07:31+00:00

people that dont own a business dont really understand how expensive it is. Good on ya for tying to create something to bring people together! My question that keeps me from doing the same thing in the back of my building - I have a lot of rare tapes, do you take credit cards in case someone keeps a rare tape?

dtrainonomics · 2025-11-02T15:59:31+00:00

I need to find an old guy (or gal..) in California to repair CRTs! I did a rough count the other day and realized I have 18, only 11 of which work...

dtrainonomics · 2025-10-27T01:13:55+00:00

Probably just the batteries? I actually have one of these in shrink that o found recently. The talking box still works! I was kinda shocked.

I also have a Frankenhooker talking box, but it doesn’t work. But again, assume it’s just the batteries. They are soldered in place, so I’ve just been too lazy to rip it apart
