Most people who chase vintage audio gear talk about tubes, transformers, or the way certain tuners pull distant stations out of the noise. Few ever bring up an FM tuner whose most memorable feature was a thin slot on the front panel that accepted little cards punched with holes. The Scott T-33S, made between 1975 and 1977 in Maynard, Massachusetts, is one of those rare pieces. It arrived as the refined successor to the earlier Stereomaster 433, carrying forward a frequency synthesizer and Nixie-tube display while refining the one system that still feels almost alien today: station memory stored on physical punch cards.
A team of ten domino builders spent many days organizing over 30,000 tiles into a gigantic three-dimensional pyramid. Then, on one fateful day and time, all of those tiles came tumbling down in an incredible display. The FALLDOWN Domino Team, led by Steven Price of Sprice Machines, completed the feat on June 20th, 2026, in a gym in Garden City, Michigan. Guinness World Records has now taken a look at the achievement and made it official: the 3D pyramid is the new record holder after 29,193 dominoes came crashing down in one spectacular chain reaction.
