I have a Sony BVW-75 Betacam SP videotape machine and an edit controller sitting around.
A few people get a laugh from it.
I had the player out yesterday and a couple of the down the street neighbors got to hear it play.

My sons and I have been watching episodes of "Fringe." We are on the fifth season and the episodes revolve around finding these missing betamax tapes on which Walter recorded his brilliant plan for stopping the "Observers". I get a kick out of it every time they show him loading a tape into his betamax player. I think they thought it was a pretty good joke at the time they made it.

Those old Victrolas have a distinctive sound. Sort of tinny, and easily identifiable. Anyone who has ever heard one can recognize them instantly.
I remember when I was growing up I used to love to watch "Dark Shadows", and I was especially haunted by "Quentin's theme" which they used quite a lot once it debuted.
