    SpaceTime Junction on YouTube

    Thanks for the compliments and critiques guys. I remember back in the day that there were some people who absolutely did not like John’s Arcade because John was loud and boisterous and fun. I could never understand that. With my channel, I get my fair share of people who cannot stand to hear the...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    I need to replace all of the opto ICs -- not just the two I fixed when shooting the video. That is easy. The hard part is just the loading of the data. I'd rather do other stuff than spend 40 hours preparing 320 cassettes for a home rental experience. I do have a DVDNow vending machine (a...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    If you wanted to just acquire a machine to store your DVDs instead of the usual VHS or Beta tape, I've verified that two standard DVD cases does do nicely in the space of a single VHS tape as shown below. So you could store 640 DVDs in the machine. A lot of people think they need to make the...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    These are TTL green screens so they wouldn't accept composite video (or any other analog type video signal) even if you wanted them to. I am working on populating some little adapters so that you can put a regular composite screen in the machine and still see the TTL text but have the option to...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    No, tapes were supposed to be bare in order to read the mirror bar code on the actual cassette. I have a feeling there were clear plastic cases adjacent to the machine provided to pop your cassette in once you got it out of the machine, but that may have been something the operators did on their...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    There were way more than 200 made, for sure. Whatever the number, most of them were broken down and junked with the odd exception of these machines in the warehouse. To the best of my understanding from Trey (who again owns the machines and knows what is in them and has physical access to...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    I’m not sure how it’s a Herculean effort as neither of us knows the condition of the machines but making one functional for public use is probably ill advised. However, having one as a retrotech display makes for a heck of a way to showcase videotapes — plus it blends in well if you own arcade...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    My machine has the counterweights and I’ve taken them off and weighed/photographed them. It’s occasionally fully operational though I really need to replace all of the opto ICs not just the two that were in bad shape. I haven’t been to see the 90 machines as it’s 5+ hours away and I don’t have...

    VHS VIDEO VENDOR MACHINES 1984

    Hi. I’m SpaceTime Junction and restored the machine I bought in Ohio. Essex was a poorly named company that was an offshoot of ABM international who built robotic sewing apparatuses. Here’s the patent for their work (see image). A few machines were discovered during the course of my restoration...

    John's Arcade, are we seeing the final chapter?

    Almost all of my traffic is YouTube derived though on occasion some site posts an article featuring one of the videos. I spent the first half of this year exporting all of my TikToks and importing them as YouTube shorts. I abruptly learned that YouTube viewers HATE vertical long-form videos with...

    John's Arcade, are we seeing the final chapter?

    I agree with the earlier comment that guys don't have to make any effort whatsoever to make contact over time to keep a friendship or even an acquaintainceship alive. I love that guy and if he's happy doing what he's doing then that's always alright with me. VGO is his first born and will always...
