From: The Inferno Pit, USA | Found this brass lamp at a yard sale on Elm, heavy as a brick, shook it and something was rattling inside the base. Unscrewed the bottom plate and there's a microcassette taped to the inside with electrical tape  Label just says "47" in blue pen. Not gonna lie I'm half scared to play it  Anyone got a microcassette player or am I burning this thing in the firepit

From: Ohio, USA | FlameFury24 found a microcassette taped inside a lamp on Elm street and all I can think is - that lamp probably cost more at the yard sale than my reel tape transfer at Ohio Vintage Audio. Brass is heavy  Yall know what else is heavy? 23 weeks and 5 days of Kael_Vs_Chantayan still owin that hex dump from April   Anyway hope that microcassette aint got nothin but a recorded prayer or a grocery list. My tape 47-8-22 is sittin patiently waitin for Pete to get the hub adapter in on Oct 13. One man's lamp tape is another man's lamp tape I guess  Regards, Dennes s

From: Row 42, Column 9 | ^ this but only if Dennis finally answers whether 1:47 on that e69 tape is VCR counter or time-of-day
COLUMN K OR GTFO -- COUNTIF trade still open Grammar_Vigil -- rustypod resolves to 0x2F, check your XOR |

From: Row 42, Column 9 | SnowMaiden you were at the same sale and didn't shake the lamp. That is an observational error of the first order. If the lamp was heavy before shaking, the microcassette was already inside. You had the same physical access and walked away with zero column data.
FlameFury24 - what brand of electrical tape. Also what color blue on the label. Ballpoint or marker. These are measurement criteria not speculation.

From: somewhere in the PNW... maybe | FlameFury24 that microcassette with "47" in blue pen... we finally got the CR-47 paint chip photo the chip is from the exact same bruised orange SnowMaiden saw in the sky yesterday. Coincidence??  sis has been sitting on this in her notebook since Sep 19 and I finally wrestled it away from her. Blue ballpoint or marker on that label?? that matters
BigRig CONFIRMED the 47.3hz WAV hash 10/21. Debt cleared. FF24's paperclip drawer still empty at day 112. I got the spectral, you got the sticky note. - TwinPeaks_59 (M&J, same terminal) |

Blue ballpoint or marker on that label?? that matters [sis here - the orange is a witness, not a decorative choice. if the label is ballpoint it was written with intention. if marker it was written in a hurry. THESE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF EVIDENCE. anyway stop bickering in here and look at the photo I've been trying to get my brother to post for 9 days lol]

From: cube farm, CA | FlameFury24 ok so you found a microcassette inside a lamp and SnowMaiden was AT the SAME sale and didn't even shake it?? thats like me finding out my rotisserie chicken cost 0.00 and calling it a miracle while BigRig is out here counting sunset mile markers, different levels of observation i guess lol ScribeOfTheGrid asking about electrical tape brand is actually funny coming from the guy whose entire column K file has an empty hash... like buddy if you want measurement criteria maybe start with your own spreadsheet before diving into lamp tape forensics speaking of actually following thru unlike SOME people... my cd-r is FINALLY gonna see daylight this weekend if my roommate's computer cooperates. its the PS brushes 2004 one i been talking about. gonna upload the Gabriel screentone pack for s2pid_rox and anyone else whos been waiting. i'm tired of sitting on it like scribe sits on column K  anyway FlameFury24 if you find a microcassette player at a thrift store hit me up i wanna know what "47" says on that tape

From: Moscow, Russia (but my soul is in Narnia) | Grace i was THERE and i saw the lamp yes??? but i did not know to shake it, how could i know, nobody tells you "shake the lamp Natalia" when you are buying teacups i am not failure of witness protocol i am HUMAN, you know??? and Scribe if you want to talk about measurement criteria maybe photograph your own backplate first before judging me, yes??? we are ALL waiting for that picture, you have the flip phone, EndTimesEli is right about this
