A tale of two Tutors.

Recently Youtube user Techmoan posted an interesting historical video on an A/V format dubbed the Proto-powerpoint. The player of these film strip/8-track was called the TUTOR 16. This is interesting because this audio/data device reminds me of the one in my collection called the TUTOR 202. Check out the photos! Sadly, I have not found the programs that go with it and I am interested to see how the data was formatted on them. In the mean time I am going to try using this stereo cassette to 8-track adapter. I am guessing it is two tracks, one voice and one “data”.

Wish me luck and take care of each other.

Data Video made this retail processing amplifier for a small regional photo/video electronics company called Spiratone. I have also seen some Vidimate branded consumer amps that share similar font styles. Same production line maybe?

Please take care of each other.
