Muuu, after reading this conversation I feel bad about giving away my boombox and JAZ disks when I moved outI do have a CRT TV I never use, though, if that counts.
Anyway, for a good viewing experience, remember to adjust your tracking control first... and rewind those tapes after you're done.

I'm rewatching all 3 seasons of The Expanse in preparation for S4 on Amazon in December(?). It's a damn good show. It amazes me that it originated on SyFy. I'm just glad Jeff Bezos was a big enough fan to pick it up for at least another two seasons and put it on his service. Now that is ballin'.

TV's!!! I had a Sony XBR 32' with a remote swivel stand that i had to take out in 4 pieces because it weighed a fucking ton!!!!!. A 50' projection tv that was sitting in my upstairs hallway, that was light and easy to take out...
Better yet, I put a ton of crap on the end of the driveway and was going to load it up and take it to the dump I woke up in the morning it was all gone, now i just put stuff there and it disappears (The heavy shit that is)
Whatcha got Anon

No turntables here, but my dad did own one and many vinyl records so I totally know what they are, I swear. I did have several Walkmans (Walkmen?), but not the original Sony model, those things were as expensive as they were sturdy. I remember the newer ones had an LCD screen and soft play/pause/rewind buttons in the lid, instead of hard buttons the side. My boombox (which was a Philips AZ1101 if you want to look it up) had the ability to record from radio or CD, and I made several mixtapes with my favorite tracks that way, a couple of which I still have. In any case, I don't miss with the "fun" that was seeking to a specific song on cassettes, and occasionally dealing with entangled tapes.
Oh, and I still have this little jewel, too

And with the sony walkman, don't forget the tape counter as well, I put batteries in it and it still works mint
That is amazing Anon!! , today my daughter found a sony diskman, and speaking of Aiwa, i have a walkman that they came out with, and it is the size of the actual cassette tape, and came with a mock cassette that was am/fm radio, and that was the time that the triple AAA batteries came out and were a fucking fortune to buy!!!!...
And speaking of tapes getting eaten, i remember cutting pieces of scotch tape cutting out the damaged area and putting it back together, and praying it would play the few songs that i didn't have on anything else!!! You talk about your dad and records, how about an 8 Track Player?? That is what my older brother had in his car
When it came to ghetto blasters, the popular one here if you were a "Pistol Pete" was Pioneer, my brother bought one, he worked for 2 months to pay for it.. It felt like it was as big as me when i was 12
Truth now, i am just getting rid of all the Cassettes and crap, and i have cases and cases of them!!, really i am never going to use them and if i see one i really liked, i write down everything and can not get everything on the net... Really the only ones i am keeping are a Full Beatles set that was released, and they are still in the sealed plastic
The same i don't know what to do with the boxes of VHS tapes?? I don't think there is any value to try to sell them?? I do have a bunch of original Disney movies?? Just so much crap Anon!! , you go downstairs for a few hours and you just get discouraged, because there is so much shit to go through!!, times i just want to call for a garbage bin and throw it all in, Really the kids don't want it.....

I had Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here on 8 track. To this day if I play Shine on You Crazy Diamond in my head there's a part where it skips just like it did on the 8 track where it changed tracks.
Edit to stay minorly on topic.

Brings back the days being in my brothers 67 GTO, listening to Black Sabbath, and you just have to watch Paul Newman in Slapshot, and that was the exact car, colour and allI had Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here on 8 track. To this day if I play Shine on You Crazy Diamond in my head there's a part where it skips just like it did on the 8 track where it changed tracks.
I only listen to songs by Gilmore now, since Waters has now become a nutjob and a poster boy for Terrorists

Guess your're not big on Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam either then.
You know there's actually a debate about artists like Michael Jackson, whether you should seperate their music from the fact in Jackson's case he's a pedo or whether you should boycott the work.

Was Michael Jackson ever found guilty in the court of law?? We know that OJ was guilty, but did they prove that in a court of law?? I guess it is a debate for the discretion of the Human psyche
But when it comes to people no matter what, that advocates and sends out a message that they want to destroy certain people/race or where they live, then i got a problem with that. So the answer to your question is, you can't just isolate Islam for that, considering i don't think Mel Gibson thinks well about them either
And to end this way so i don't get my head chopped off!! I myself being of Jewish faith, I am far from religious, and there are without a doubt religious fanatical nutbags in my faith just like others. The difference here is when you do that math 10% or 17 million is yes a few nutjobs!!!, but once you take 10% or more out of well over Billions in a faith?? Now that can cause some trouble
And i can tell you there is something wrong with people when i see in the news that they now call people of Jewish faith "White Supremacist" there is something wrong with that picture Idol

And i will add that i don't mute or fast forward Guardians of the Galaxy when his song comes on....

shaina: I'm too lazy to quote your post bit by bit, so I'll answer here
Firstly, I've never seen 8-tracks here (in 3D at least), so you win. Thankfully, I've also never had a cassette break on me to the point of having to cut and rejoin tapes à la Tyler Durden. It was always a matter of carefully de-entangling the mess by hand, and then using a pencil to slowly reel it back in.
I wanted a Discman but never had one. As I recall, manufacturers constantly fought over who could offer the biggest buffer length for the anti-shock feature, and cheaper models had only a few seconds or none at all. Anyway, I jumped from the Walkman to a portable MP3 player, a generic one identical to this in color, shape and button layout. 256 MB of storage, double the standard for these models at the time, but I still had to transcode music to make it all fit, and took the time to apply equalizing and other audio enhancements while I was at it.

As for all the stuff you've got, take a weekend to sort it by item category, then snap some pictures and put everything on craigslist, or find local collector clubs for these things and show them what you've got. You'll be surprised at how quickly everything goes away, and to people who will take care of it on top of that.
