columbo

I watched a few episodes of Columbo as I had no clear memory of the series. They aired in Belgium when I was a kid. It was fun to watch the technology of the time (no DNA back then). I made some screenshots from a 1971 episode.

Fiddling with phones to tap the kidknapper...



Unfortunately I could not find the make of the recorder.

There was also some cut and paste with tape with a simple battery powered recorder.


It is difficult to tell but it looks somewhat like this one from the 1970 radio shack catalogue.


But the best was this timed autodialer to play prerecorded messages...



40 years old but still enjoyable in my humble opinion, I think I will watch a few more.
