Never mind that the video is black and white, the audio is silent, and the screen flickers like a bad horror movie. Rules say "bolts or other items without the matching socket will be removed"—but what about perfectly fitting connections that refuse to work?
This SCART-to-RCA adapter is a shining example of deception—it plugs in smoothly, yet the signals inside are having an existential crisis. The video signal screams in RGB, but the TV only understands composite, leaving us with a washed-out mess. The audio sits quietly, confused and alone, wondering why it wasn’t invited to the party.
But hey, it fits, so it stays! Even if it means your movie looks like a ghost story filmed in 1925.
Every function still works - the AM/FM radio, record, play, rewind, forward fast, the built-in microphone, pause and auto-stop at the end of a tape. The only thing I had to replace was one of the drive belts. it's very cool to hear the music I recorded as a 16 year old on the original device. Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower" is playing right now on an August 1975 recording from WPLR-FM in New Haven, Connecticut.
