Another one bites the dust...

My loft is now officially called “The Place Where Rob’s Gadgets Go to Die”. My lovely Hitachi digital 8 camcorder is broken. It tries very hard to work. You can hear the motors struggling and then it finally gives up with an unhappy pop. I managed to make it record something but what came back were just flickering lines. I’ve got tons of old tape I was planning to import into a computer and now all I can do is look at the boxes.

I might take it to bits to try and fix it. With a bit of luck it might be something mechanical that I can mend, but I’m not that hopeful. Oh well, I suppose it is over twenty years old….
