Default Dump Shenanigans

Trying to get our shop tidied up after a busy summer one of my labourers
took a load of junk (mostly scrap glass) to the dump yesterday. He was all
pleased with himself on his return. Apparently some fellow dumper had grown
weary of the hapless 8 track format. My fellow scooped up the proceeds and
brought them back for me. Whatta guy! Anyway, here is what he unearthed. Two
players. One a Baycrest player/recorder and the other a Lloyd's player. The
Lloyds is only coming through on the left side. But does sound good from the
working channel. The Baycrest (probably a re-badged Lloyds) does nothing
motorwise and is probably in need of a belt or the motor has frozen up. I do
not much care. Two boxes of tapes came with the deal. Mostly easy listening
and big band with the odd inclusion of AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
Also an in the style of The Village People and The Beatles 1967-1970 Part 1.
One nice item though. A Realistic sound effects tape. Best effect? A dial
tone and rotary dialing sound. snip


Baycrest, obviously from The Bay, eh?

What on earth AC/DC is doing with big band, I have not a clue! Had
the sound effects disc long ago...used it for production work from
time to time. Care for a Beatles "Blue" Part 2 to go with that Part
1?

Leaves are turning on the decidulous flora up in the mountains here.
Hope your tam is ready for a season's service!
