I had to read that sentence a couple of times to understand it.

Nothing like the electro-mechanical devices of yesteryear. They are almost 'neo' art deco objects, lol. I'd like to collect stuff like this, maybe even practice using it, just for the experience.

FYI - Had to re-edit the video and re-upload due to the music bleed through issues...

That splicer looks a lot like my dad’s Single 8 film splicer, that I used as a kid in the 80s. Fl 15 for a 3 minute film cartridge including development, around €25 in today’s money. Not exactly cheap for a kid. And the splicing tape was extra. Awesome to see that set of replacement parts. Back then they made sure you could keep your equipment in good nick, nowadays they make stuff as hard to repair as possible (with a few notable exceptions)

Entering the vault always makes me think of the ending to Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark, there could be anything in there, and nothing will disappoint.
