Mechanisms: Gutting It (Hacking Day)
5 March 2009
We had to bring in some electronic device that we could take apart. I have an old Hi-8 camera I found on the junk shelf, so I figured it would be good to hack. A camcoder is crazy complex inside. It wasn’t that simple to take apart and the tape mechanism stayed completely shut through all the dismantling. I can’t imagine losing the power and having an important tape stuck in there. There’s definitely no putting this thing back together.
