Finger Powers Works The Tape




For me, this is probably one of the illest things I've seen in a long time. I still have my backpack from Jr. High/High School that I used to carry all my cassettes in. This takes me back. Here's some more info:

Taken from Yanko Design



"There are a couple of things regarding this player that really stands out. Like for example, if you want to forward or rewind a song, you need to manually do it by rotating the spools with your finger or pencil. To play just slide the Play Button."



"Charging it depends how good are you at …you guessed it…rotating the spools! Rotating the second hole of the tape charges the kinetic battery. An LED light indicates the power status: Green-full charge; Amber- Medium Charge; Red- will die out any moment."



"Between the two wheels is nestled a small display that only shows you the time elapsed for the song, nothing else! Both the 90 and 60-minute versions are housed in recycled aluminum enclosures, however the 45-min one is constructed from Polypropylene."





This is definitely something I'm looking forward to getting when the time is right. If not for nostalgia, then just because it looks cool as fuck. Who's with me?
