Cat Brules Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Remember this series from back in the 1960's? Death Valley Days? DirecTV says they've restored it to digital quality, looks like they colorized it (from the clip they show), and it's supposed to be on the DirecTV Encore Western Channel in January sometime....complete with Ronald Reagan, it looks like.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It was on for 18 years so some of the later episodes were in color. I liked The Old Ranger. He was the original host from 1952 up to the early 1960's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 On one of these "catch-all" dvd's I have around here somewhere, there's several episodes in black and white. I remember it was sponsored by, "Twenty Mule Team Borax". I used to go out and explore the Mojave and it was so empty. Now it seems so crowded with traffic and small.

Nasty Newt # 7365 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Remember Rosemary DeCamp and her Boraxo commercials? "Towels are for drying your hands, not cleaning them!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have cable and the Westerns channel has been advertising Death Valley Days to start in Jan. I loved it as a kid! My father always had 20 Mule Team Borax in the basement bathroom for when yer hands were really dirty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Twenty Mule Team Borax also made a great flux for brazing! We used it all of the time. Warm a brass rod and dip it into the box and it was better than the pre-fluxed stuff by far!! And it cleans anything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancocas Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I remember I enjoyed watch death valley days long ago. Seems to me the stories and filming locations were great. Did Gabby Hayes host the show at any time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Twenty Mule Team Borax also made a great flux for brazing! We used it all of the time. Warm a brass rod and dip it into the box and it was better than the pre-fluxed stuff by far!! And it cleans anything!! A local blacksmith will use nothing else for flux when he's forge welding!
