——–Video Description——–
From the 1960s through to the 90s radio DJs used Cart machines to play jingles and now I’ve managed to get hold of one. In this video I get to try out the tech by playing some interesting old recordings.

Additional Information:
Here are a few things that have already been discussed about the video on Patreon that might help answer a few potential questions.
1) Cue Tones – and the lack of recognition on my machine
The stereo Dr Dre cart would most likely have it’s cue track in a configuration that my mono machine can’t read…however none of the cue tones on my mono carts were triggering anything with my machine..including the one I recorded on it.
2) Scarcity – It may seem surprising that working cart machines aren’t easy to find on the second hand market in the UK but I suspect that any working models are still in demand in the radio industry so there’s no need to sell them off on ebay. It’s just the old broken models that end up there.
3) Blanked Carts – The jingles “Fastest Thing in the Air” and “TGIF (which turns out to be Thank Goodness It’s Fun) are jingles created by the Jingle company “Pams” in 1964 that were used by a number of radio stations
4) Who is Kenny Lynn? – I found details of some club DJs in the UK with a similar name however jingles on carts are something a radio DJ would use…so I’m not sure what station they were from.
