Has anybody mentioned Clackers? The glass ones? I have a set, but haven't played with them in years. I do it with goggles now.

I would have to feed my old Fairlane one or two of these bulk oil quarts every time I bought gas. The cheapest oil you could get back then, 30 - 35 cents or so a quart.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What about telephone party lines? My grandfather was on a party line back in the 1960's in a farm out in the sticks. I remember my grandmother would get aggravated regularly because a neighbor (one of 3 on the same party line) would have the line tied up when she needed to make a call. They finally got a private line in about 1970. Party lines were very prevalent in the rural south all through the 1960's. Some were around up into the late 1970's. For the youngsters, a party line existed when multiple households shared a single connecting line to the main phone line. You could pick up your phone, and if the other house was making a call, you could hear the entire conversation. There was no real privacy. 
We had a rotary phone into the 80's until Ma Bell discontinued all rotary service and everything went pulse. |

Was anyone else into control line Cox model planes as a kid. I can still smell that castor oil based fuel and the sound of the glow plug cooking off fuel before you flipped the prop.... hopefully not getting your finger involved once started. I had this exact one when I was about 10-11yo. I doubt it was more than $20 or so. This one is on Ebay for $350. That makes me dizzy.... no pun intended...

wheelo's, FM converters that fit in an eight track tape player. Home stereo that was a record player with an eight track and receiver built in. I used to buy blank 8 tracks at radio shack and record my own music from my albums. I told my kids and they said, oh yeah, a playlist.
