Nice. It has a convinient knob that goes from slow to fast. I suppose that’s so people can skip grandma talking about the holidays and they can slow it down when the pastor called “I diiiiddeen’t ssseeee yoouuu iiinnn chuuurchhhh laaaaasst suuunndaaayyy”. I bet that’s fun.

Rather fond of this 90s answering machine with memory slots to save messages and a speed control for friends who talk too fast/slow

I have fond memories of that one, as it was my first answering machine.

what I love about this genre of roland rhythm machine is it dances right on the borderline between answering machine and kitchen appliance. Literally had an old blender which was spot on that shade and shape. Put a glass blender pitcher on top and leave it on the counter, I couldn’t tell the difference.

I suppose my most answering machine lookin mothersampler was the Yamaha SU-10

i wonder what the settings would say if it were a blender?
how many shades of blending are there, perhaps it would have a hot cold setting and maybe a bits and no bits setting - even a ferment setting!
