I’ve had hours of fun experimenting with this simple Tape Loop Delay and Contact Microphone combination. How this works: the play head was carefully removed and extended from the player to the left (Sony TCM-3) and mounted inside a modified tape loop inserted inside the player (Sony TCM-939) to the right. A contact microphone is hooked up to the TCM-939, in this video I experiment with a wind up music toy and plastic comb!

awesome video--great demonstration. I am always in awe of people who can actually de-and-re-construct electronic devices. I gave up soldering guitar cords in the 70s...

Evan, you also soldered your guitar cords in the ‘70’s?!? Wow— that brings back some memories— I did too! My dad’s soldering iron was kind of a beast. It’s amazing that he and I didn’t burn the house down with it.
