The alarm clock looks like a space hopper.

Who is 4rthur?
edit: the alarm clock reminds me of a game character off of the Dragon 32.

Just what I always wanted.
 
Been coaxing my two with various tasty treats lately.. also some new catnip toys, for exercise.
These have so far been a great success.

woo
these are good! I think the cassette would be great with a little more contrast

thanks.
i played with last night and gave up after a while. only the 45 insert worked, but it's the one i most wanted to turn out, so i'm happy.

Why is it a 45 insert?
Surely you get them in EPs too?
( Pedantichrist twitter.com/LordManley, Mon 30 Oct 2006, 0:32, archived)

45s had big holes, typically.
so they required inserts to fit on the turntable's spindle. some had built-in plastic fitters, some just had small holes, but most had large holes to speed up production. so, inserts (plastic and metal) were made and sold. i have hundreds of the stupid things.

i believe they are called spiders
i rather like them the 45s with big holes in them were pressed for juke boxes
