The very very rare Diamond Power model DP-1 Video tape recorder has arrived. Never heard back on the Diamond Power vidicon camera. This tape recorer is in awesome condition. 99%+ intact, even down to the keys for latch locks! Not to shabby! And all for only cost of shipping. Thank you very much!! See the incredible Diamond Power [DP-1 pre-EIAJ format VTR] here.

       Coming soon! A rare Diamond Power model DP-1 Video tape recorder. Definately maybe going to get a Diamond Power vidicon camera as well. Not sure on that second one though. I am always looking for more information about Diamond Power / Diamoned Electronics equipment from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

       For some reason, I just cleaned up the HTML construction of the front page to my site. WYSIWYG editors produce such badly coded HTML! The last editor I used was Front Page. The page itself was created ten years ago in Netscape Composer. Then hashed through with Composer and Front Page dozens of times, churning the HTML code into a compressed block of dropped scrabble letters. It is cool that the bad code looked just fine in the browser. But, when a human can't read the HTML, it is time to clean it up. Externally, you should see no differences to the front page. There is one thing I'd like to apologize for up front. Notepad does not have a spell checker, so you may have to suffer through some of my tiepos and udder mizspeelinngs. If you point them out, I will gladly fix them.

       There was once a great stone carver and his apprentice. It was the job of the apprentice to flatten the bottom face of the stone prior to the master's work beginning. The apprentice had completed one rather large block, which took him several months to work down. However, right in the middle was a small gouge. The master insisted that the entire bottom be shaved down again until the gouge was removed. The apprentice objected loudly that no one would ever see the tiny flaw, being located so far under the statue.

       "No one will ever know it is there!" whined the apprentice.

       The master replied, "We will know."

       Posted a short page about the [Sony DXC-2000] and DXC-2000A video cameras this evening. I believe they are from 1962. Somehwere in my literature, I recall seeing the date and was totally amazed. If anyone knows better, feel free to correct me about the model year of these cameras.
