EchoPoint

EchoPoint is a small audio playback device that works with a push of a button. One of EchoPoint's defining features is that it can be battery operated, or powered using a 6V DC source. Using the supplied 6V 6Ah LiFePO4 battery, an expected battery life is 107 active hours, 6,400 button presses, or 3-5 months in a museum setting before charging. Batteries recharge in about 5 hours with the supplied battery charger.

VinTEL

Vintage Telephone Emulating Landline (VinTEL) is the software and hardware designed to "reanimate" rotary dial phones to emulate interactions of an increasingly bygone era. You can dial numbers to hear pre-recorded messages, dial 311 to leave an voicemail, or activate the incoming call button. Initiating the incoming call activates the mechanical ringer and enables you to hear a previously recorded voicemail or listen to selected files.

VinTOS

Vintage Television Operating System (VINTOS) revives the golden era of television. Transform your antique sets into a modern entertainment marvel, without compromising their classic charm. With VINTOS, you're not just preserving a piece of history; you're redefining it. Customize each channel to showcase anything from 1950s sitcoms to your treasured 8mm home movies, or curate content for a unique museum exhibit. Embrace the nostalgia without sacrificing the convenience of today’s technology. Bring vintage television back to glory with VINTOS, where the past meets present.
