Show 'N Tell - 1960s Children's Multimedia System

The Show N' Tell was an educational and entertainment audio slideshow system for children that was sold in the US for approximately twenty years. I imported one to the UK to try it for myself.

Corrections & Updates

Motor Speed
The motor is an AC motor, a DC motor would have been fine. I misspoke. I previously covered this issue in a video about a wire recorder and one called ‘How to get 120v 60Hz in the U.K.’

Slides
There are various ways to improve the appearance of the images on the faded slides by scanning them in and then manipulating them in editing packages. However getting them back into a format that could be read by the machine again would be much trickier, and more trouble than it’s worth.

Mechanism
It’s a ‘Geneva Drive’
