Bringing back the past… Some hidden gems of 2008

November 12th, 2008

I love technology. I think its great that we can now carry a masses of albums around in our back pocket, or hold hundreds on pictures on one little memory card. However, the problem for me is that sometimes technology makes my old stuff redundant. e.g. my mix tapes! Or the vhs videos you have of your childhood. The memories looked away in a useless format… Well that is until now! Check out these 4 fancy usb devices that can transform your old memories into digital format! We have something for the cassette tape lovers, the vhs fanatics, the old school LPers and even something to transform your old negatives!

1) USB Cassette Deck

button_buy.gif In Stock at: firebox.com
Price: £89.95

Let’s face it, audio tapes were rubbish. Yes, you could compile party mixes and pilfer the top 40 off the radio, but times change and the thought of waiting an eternity for a C90 to rewind or untangling a twisted C90 is about as appealing as listening to Chico duetting with Slipknot. So thank goodness you can digitize the music trapped on your old cassettes with the miraculous USB Cassette Deck.

2) USB VHS Converter

button_buy.gif In Stock at: firebox.com
Price: £149.95

We all know VHS tapes were rubbish. Dodgy tracking, limited lifespan, noisy spools, below par quality…we could go on. So we will. Bulky, clunky, fragile, ridiculously slow to rewind - the list is truly endless. But for all its faults, VHS was the leading video format for almost thirty years. And that’s why you’ve got stacks of tapes languishing in the loft and piled up in the cupboard. And that’s why you need the brilliant USB VHS Converter.

3) LP 2 CD

button_buy.gif In Stock at: firebox.com
Price: £299.95

We all love our old vinyl, but it’s a drag to slap on a disc, turn it over after twenty minutes like a grilled kipper, then take it off again. What you need is a way to get your vinyl tunes on to a CD without the fuss of downloading it through a computer. Step up, the LP 2 CD: a one-stop-shop for popping your 33, 45 and 78 rpm records direct to compact disc, with zero bother. And because it doesn’t need to run through a computer, you can hook it up to a pair of speakers to use like a regular stereo for records and compact discs.

4) USB Negative Scanner

button_buy.gif In Stock at: firebox.com
Price: £79.95

The great thing about old 35mm photos is that most of us have them ‘backed up’ on negatives stuffed in forgotten drawers. The bad thing, however, is that most of us can’t remember what’s on the negatives until we hold them up to the light and squint. And even then it’s hard to tell. Enter the truly ingenious USB Negative Scanner.
