Pro wrestling enthusiast and occasional dabbler. Former tape trader. Has been playing in bands since 09, and started backyarding at the same time. Bass and guitar player that can half ass play about a dozen other instruments. Always looking at recipe sites for middle east and north african recipes, and searching for weird and interesting wines and brandys.
Yeah, vhs tape trading of mostly japanese death matches. Some czw and iwa mid-south stuff too. Have a tape collection of over 300 comps and shows from over the years.
That’s so cool, I’ve always wanted to get into collecting VHS horror, just never got to it. I still have all my tapes from childhood, but nothing crazy there.
Oh yeah, i have a decent selection of horror and action in my collection. I think i’m at the point of my old movie rental spot when it comes to pure selection. I also own abut 15 vcr’s, mostly to cannibalize but quite a few still work.
Lol, I think I’m vicariously living your tape collecting hobby through archive.org Tape Vaults. I don’t have much space for collecting at the moment, so I have a CRT monitor set up in the corner of my desk and I just feed old ripped tapes to it throughout the day for background. It’s neat watching taped news broadcasts
I’m so thankful old technology is user serviceable. I have AM radios from the 1920’s that work better than new in a lot of cases
