When we fired up this 60-year-old TV for the first time 5 years ago, there was an image, but it had a terminal v-hold problem. The knob to adjust it is broken, and I didn’t have the time to monkey with it.
Sean mentioned in passing it would be useful if we could get it working. Had time to play with it tonight, turned it on, low and behold…
It’s distorted, but that’s actually kinda cool. This is a composite-out of a DVD player into an RF box. To make it easier to feed it source material, as well as because it’s hilarious, I’m going to see if I can rig up something to bust down the HDMI output from an iPad.
Edit: the image is from a video project we worked on 30+ years ago. Been at this awhile now.

First heard about these in the 90s. Didn’t have a potential application until now.
It’s a vibrator hollow steel “candle” with a real candle inside. A spring keeps the real candle flush as it burns down.
Assuming it doesn’t look weird once it’s lit, it’ll take care of continuity problems.

Never heard of a flush-candle holder. I took it for a gopher repellant stick. Drives them mad with regular chirp noises.

From the archives.
After making a meticulous reproduction of the bag, I discover it’s supposed to be for a different kind of bread with wildly different dimensions. Ran out of time to fuck with it and it got put away.
Still on hiatus, so I’ve finally had the time to drag it back out. Kinda half-assed, but it’s probably good enough for a prop.
Those hacks at the Gonella print shop smeared the black on the chef.

A thought about historical accuracy. When did they start including grams in product weight? I don't recall personally.
Looks like they smeared the black on the weights line also.
