Alpo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 A couple of times lately I have hit submit reply and my entire post would disappear. But if I opened a new window and pulled up the Saloon (ACS) my post would be there, so I would close the original window, and go on with life.

One for the dimmer, one for the windshield washer, (only worked when the wipers were on) and one that changed the station on the radio!! You could preset several stations on the radio and use the floor switch to select the preset stations with both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road!

My mates and I (hey we weren't perfect back then) used to pop the caps of the bottles and use a straw......thankfully we never got caught. I have the EXACT same Coke machine, a 1942 Venco with the fishtail logo, still runs perfect and still operates on a dime.

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Living out in the country, and electricity was still a few months away, this was my Christmas present, and I still have it and it still runs. Wonder how many remember us country boys living without electricity and our forms of "electric trains"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first one was an ELSI 8. All it would do is add, subtract, multiply and divide. NO memory except for the one required to hold the first entry. Was about the size of a brick, and I bought it for $300 in 1969 when I went back to college for a second engineering degree! Made a leather carrying case that I could hook to my belt (and almost dragged my pants down!). Still have it...somewhere. I think I paid about $15 for my pocket CASIO that has almost enough functions to navigate Apollo 11 to the Moon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I remember having to start using a straight pen. Desks had fold up seats and an ink well holder for the ink you dipped the pen in. Teacher with a large bottle of ink to refill you smaller bottle in the desk's ink bottle holder. OH Yeah, and penmanship classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 How many remember 8 Track players in your car? When they first came out, they were monstrous. These replaced the short lived 4 track and 45 RPM record players in cars, (wonder how many remember 4 track and car record players?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 They didn't mention about when the 8-track player ate your tape, and you ended up with a foot or more of loose tape sticking out of the cartridge, and the little quick pull on one side which would allow it to wind up back inside.

Always seemed that no matter what the band was, it always switched tracks right in the middle of the best song on the album. Still have a couple of 8 tracks around here somewhere, probably don't work any more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I remember going to the movies and it was 25 cents. Box of popcorn a dime as was a Green river drink. When I got married it jumped to 35 cents for the movie, but gas was still 27.9 and gas wars would drop it down to 22.9 and sometimes lower. As to Candy bars, they were a nickel or a dime but when a sugar shortage caused an increase to ro cents and higher, once sugar prices dropped, candy bars stayed the same, high.

watab kid Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 the days when you could go to the movies with only change in your pocket - today you need a credit card or a bank loan , a dime in the chest type soda machine gave you one of those shapely coke bottles that they now consider nostalgic - and you opened it in that handy gizmo on the front of the machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
