This thread has reminded me of the CUK Urban Dictionary outing. In particular the NSFW entry for Milanese Beans . Anyway, it would be a novel way to dispose of old tape.

I remember them well.

My uncle had one that was basically a mahogany, antique writing bureau in drag.

Tasteful, very tasteful.

And very very heavy.

There was on that incorporated one of the early Philips VCRs (which was heavy enough in itself) to make the combination of the two even heavier.

I've never actually seen one of those though.

I have now:

An old neighbour and friend of mine gutted his 1960s/70s telly and made a fine drinks cabinet. However, it was a high quality wood type TV complete with sectional sliding doors, not my black plastic Japanese variety.

Is it not acceptable to throw them out of your car as you drive along some of the most scenic roads in Yorkshire?
It must be, so many of the Keighley scrotes do it around here.

Gut the interior, just leaving a shell, get someone crafty to put soft materials in it and you've got the gift of a retro cat bed for any mad cat ladies you know seal the innards to make a fantastic fish tank

Dismantle, put the spools in a fire, recycle the rest. Best I can think of.

Or erase them in a VCR.

Just dug up a load of old family VHS tapes, mainly crap so don't want to go through the hassle of converting them to DVD etc, but whats the best way to safely destroy the tapes so they can't be played short of burning them?

Borrow or buy a Degausser
