This falls into the you never know what you’ll find on the streets of Buenos Aires category….a reel of magnetic tape, dated 1983 – 1984, tossed out onto the curb with the trash.
We brought it home and added it to our growing collection of obsolete technology. What was the storage capacity of this thing…50 MB??

Buenos Aires is full of mistery. I remember this kind of reel…Time goes by, things remain…

Hace muchos años, casi 20, una vez me encontré varias cintas magnéticas tiradas en la basura. Si no me equivoco estaban sin usar y las terminé vendiendo a buen precio en Parque Rivadavia.
¿No te da curiosidad saber qué tiene grabado?
Saludos.

Indeed, I was curious about the contents and forgot to mention in my post that the little label on the cartridge, in addition to having the date, says that the tape contains personnel records. Hmmm…

hola, si te da ganas de escucharlo, podes pasar por el museo del cine. estamos en barracas, en una sede porvisoria no muy adecuada (para usar un eufemismo), pero nos especializamos en tecnologia obsoleta.
a mi me gusta juntar peliculas familares en super 8.
saludos
