A CD/Blu-ray rewinder.
Not DVDs though, they were self rewinding

DVD+R are self rewinding, the DVD-R are not.

It’s a telemarketing prevention device. Hook it up to your phone line, and the number of telemarketing calls would drop instantly.

Not really what you’re looking for, but it immediately made me think of an intercom device.

I recently stayed at a rental property that had this (actual photo):
Photo of a NuTone Intercom with a built-in CD player and FM tuner
I tried to get it working but none of the remote panels worked. They were all disconnected somehow (owner probably cut the wires to prevent shenanigans by guests cranking the volume then leaving it like that). The CD player worked (central panel only) but oddly, it couldn’t pick up any FM stations. It would tune to them (“scan” feature worked) but they only ever produced static. I suspect the capacitors used in the amplification circuit dried out or something got corroded after being in a “regular ocean salt spray” area (it was on a beach) for such a long time 🤷

That’s pretty cool! Friend of mine rented a house that had a working home intercom system, and the radio actually worked and played through the house. I’ve never seen one with a CD Player built in tho!

My home came with one of those. I ripped it out and replaced it with a touchscreen powered by a pi running custom html for a lcars interface for home security and music. I never got around to re wiring the intercom part. It’s on my list.

This is one of the sickest synthesizers of the 1990s g-funk era. It produced the high-pitched portamento sound that provided iconic hooks for many of the tracks on Dr Dre’s 1993 album The Chronic.

Wow! This brings back memories… It was a Soul Crusher: A primitive technology used to commune with the dead over long distances. I’ll explain…
These devices used the “Afterlife Toll” (AT) command set, invented by someone named “Hayes” which I believe was just a nickname or mistranslation of Hades. With the correct invocation, you could whisper into the great beyond. Here’s an example:
ATDT 6665551234Translated: “Afterlife Toll, Death Touch <helliphone number>”. After this invocation, the user would hear the pleasant sound of souls being crushed in order to make the afterlife connection.
Of course—due to the popularity of such devices—crushing souls over long distances could get expensive so a number of Incorporeal Service Providers (ISP) sprang up to make it cheaper and easier than ever to crush souls from anywhere.
Cool fact: This is where the term, “soul crushing machines” comes from! These days, soul crushing is fully automated and far beyond the measure of Beings Per Seance (BPS). Nearly every computer is shipped with an ethernet connection and practically everyone is walking around with devices that can commune over WIFI (Wailing Incorporeal Fidelity).
In fact, our Incorporeal Technology (IT) is so advanced, you can have a soul crushing experience from anywhere in the world at all hours of the day, every day!
