I have those same Sanyo “Walkman” amplified speakers, the cabinets are not up to durable use and were shattered with more then one tumble to the floor, but I saved all that to reconstruct, I wish someone could help in that regard, they work as good as you see shown here! It’s White/Westinghouse who put their name on the product. I am guessing Sanyo licensed them? I had a Walkman much like the one shown, maybe the same one, it cost me about $72 bucks at the time!!

What wonders the far off future of 1986 will bring.

I love videos like these. They are so much fun to watch. Twenty-five years from now people will be laughing at our iPads and Android phones.

Throughout the 90s we had a prehistoric 80s TV, woodgrain and all, with huge dials that clicked when you turned them and a back so thick you could play a game of Monopoly on the top of it.
Now we have a LED LCD, almost as thin as paper, high def and able to access all the crap off the internet.
Both cost the same in real dollar terms.
I’d love to hook up the old TV and see if the picture looks like a toddler’s urine soaked crayon drawing compared to the Monet of the LCD.

@mkline718
“CD players were not even around in 83″
Yeah. They came out in 1982 in Japan. Elsewhere in the world, including the USA, CD came out in 1983.

This is great! I guess the robot thing didn’t really catch on back then though.
Well, looks like we finally might start seeing robots in homes in this new decade.

I had one of these….POS…..went thru printheads….4 in less than 2 yrs. Don’t buy it.
March 25th, 2011
This is the worst printer made , Total crap ,But I did save a lot of money on ink ,as the printer would not print/ scan or copy .I didn’t use any ink at all , but then again it would not print anything .
March 25th, 2011
no it doesnt. you just suck.
March 25th, 2011
Rubish printer.. Ink is cheap but the resolution is no where as good as my earlier Epson and the new Canon MP630..
Well at this point Gadget show got it totally wrong..
March 25th, 2011
kodak printers (at least mine) simply suck. absolute garbage. their customer service is about the same….you wanna get fucked out of a couple hundred bucks buy one. striped text printing warped and shitty fotos…just crap…a good result is an exception with this printer. i have the 5500
March 25th, 2011
this bullshit video stops half way threw :@
March 25th, 2011
I Find the print quality is very cold(cyan)Not as good as dye sub.
Also, forget fade proof…if you drop water or an alcoholic drink on a print…there goes the image! This is NOT a true photographic print. And if it is “pigmented”,how can water disolve it?
March 25th, 2011
I use the printer and it’s just fine, no problems at all.
March 25th, 2011
Honestly I told him how to enunciates his words distinctly. He used to a Mancunian drunk and pronounced everything with a stammering speech impediment.
March 25th, 2011
I think this show get paid to Brain wash people for Crappy stuff…
This is the Most crappiest printer i have ever seen in my life..
- Even the Kodak employees dont know the DPI resolution of this printer
- Its cartages are just cheapest, the actual Pages yield is the worse in comparison with the 50 pounds Epson printer
At the Huge price of this crappy printer you can get really awesome, better quality, better yield printers from EPSON and Canon…
March 25th, 2011
This printer is awesome!
March 25th, 2011
Wow, the printer has a white reservoir – how does that work?
