      I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be possible in my country as all the radio stations switched to digital and phased out analog.

      This thing would be great at picking up cosmic microwave background by that’s about it.

      I used to have to replace a rubber belt in my cassette player every 6 to 8 months towards the end of my first car. Now I could probably figure it out but there’s a good chance I’d fuck it up a few times first. Time can be a harsh mistress.

    Of course I can program it. I have no idea how to do so right now, but if you gave it to me I could fiddle with it for a few minutes and figure it out.

    Hey old farts, no hate, but the reason kids these days don’t know how to use old technology is because it’s not practical anymore. We’ve simple moved on to better things as a society and no longer need to bang rocks together to make fire. Now this progressions may not be in all cases good, since it has, in part, atomized our society and divided us against ourselves, but don’t pretend like spin dials were the peak of ergonomic design. Sometimes you gotta admit that just because you grew up with it, doesn’t mean it was better than what we have today.
