OLD REMOTE: Hitachi laserdisk plus bonus machine shots and Polaroid remote

Old Remotes may not be the most prolific feature we've ever done, but it certainly inspires passion among those who join in. Here's Eddie joining in and really going for it with his nondescript Hitachi laserdisk changer.

OPENING PREAMBLE:
"I've got a old remote update for you from the days when 11 buttons was all you needed. It's another laserdisk player remote but I've included the player in the picture to keep things exciting."



"Here's the remote lying on a new remote as though it were engaged in some sort of horrific inter-generational remote porn. Look at its disgusting rubbery buttons lying all over the pert plastic buttons. It's sick! Fans of taste and decency will be glad to note I went for the granny porn angle instead of the brown on silver, interracial angle. Angry emails avoided!"



"Here's the remote leaning against the laserdisk player in a relaxed fashion. It's like 1985 never went away!"



"Here's a close up of the remote. You can see all the names on the buttons. Notice two types of fast forward. These days that would be condensed down two buttons. Things really were better in the old days."



"Here is the cutting edge analogue counter. Before boffins invented moving numbers, you had to make do with a LED on a wire that would move up ad down in a vague approximation of the time elapsed."



"Here's the shocking and depressing twist! I cracked open the battery compartment to find: No batteries. Stupid battery leak aware parents. Ok, bye then. Good luck making this interesting/funny - Eddie."
