Visuals: We see a shot of a 78rpm record spinning on a platter covered in green. Then, a hand moves in to place the needle in the groove of the spinning record, revealing that the player is of a Victrola type. After about 8 seconds of a shot, the screen is broken up into 4 quadrants; in the top left, we see two Nixie tubes as part of a Nixie tube clock, changing between different numerals. In the top right, there is a meter from a Rico Electronics vacuum tube tester, whose needle bounces to good before going back to it's initial spot. On the bottom left corner, we see a dial of an old radio; specifically a Philco Superhetrodyne receiver. On the bottom right, we see some gears and a spinning flywheel-thing. The thing then spins really fast, turning the gears in the process. After a few moments, the quadrants dissappear to the tune of the beat as they reveal a simple MCS-series Technics M218 cassette deck. Inside it are pink-colored reels spinning around while sitting on a shelf populated with a fish lamp, a cone, and a random assortments of 8-tracks and cassettes are on top of the deck. As they complete the sound, the text "Technology Connections" comes up in Haettenschweiler font with a black outline.

Technique: Real-life footage.

Audio: A 23-note jingle played alongside the sounds of an old record player playing a record. Then, after 3 notes, the jingle plays again with more piano music. The last four notes finish itself off without any additional notes.

Audio Trivia: This was self-composed on a "Yamaha keyboard and nothing else."

Availability: From the first few videos on the channel beginning with "Bell & The Invention of Artificial Sound" and ending with "Tape Recording: Taking the Electromagnet to a Whole New Level."
