Fun & Games You're Older Than Dirt If You Remember....

Wow, Lindberg made a very detailed model kit. The planes even had the wiring molded inside where you could see it. Revell was another good one.

The 29 cent Lindburg's were the lowest quality cheap kits, not as detailed as the more expensive kits at $149. I remember building Bugeye Sprite's & Triumph TR3's back in the day. Big fun with small models. Built many a Revel kit too.

 

And also in the drug store or hardware store was a tube tester. So you could check the tubes in your TV or radio. Well, tube equipment is history...but I have a tube tester in my basement for all of my "antique" re-habed radios. Such beautiful sound.

 

Of all the audio gear I've bought and sold over the years the one item I regret selling was my tube amp.

Such a beautiful warm tone...

 

...how to do long division.

 

You're older than dirt, when you remember rocks, just rocks.

If when you went to the shoe store to buy back to school shoes and they had a Shoe-Fitting Fluoroscope.

So that one's not older than dirt because it has a bar code on it but the same thing was in the back of Red Rider comics.

 

I am getting out the sugar water and string tomorrow.....:drool

 

I had almost forgotten those things. My mom didn't like them because she thought they would mess up your eye sight. Cancer was not a big concern at the time.

The Avengers had nothing to do with Marvel Comic's band of superheroes...

(Emma Peel was every boy's fantasy!)

You're older than dirt if you watched The Prisoner or Peter Gunn.

 

Loved the Prisoner's Super 7...
