Back to basics

This was Kodak's first digital camera built in 1975. Instead of saving the data on a card it used a standard cassette, and took 23 seconds to record the digitized image to the cassette. How do we retrieve the photos you were asking me? I have no idea myself, although I'd love to lug this archaic baby around just for a day to see how it felt like.
