picky Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 "Gulp!" I remember 100% of the products and packaging shown....I'm friggin' OLD! [:S] Let's hope I've got some of Ms. Rose's good genes! LOL Colin: You're right; I didn't see any Klipsch either but there is a horn on that speaker sitting on the cart in the lady's kichen along with a nice tube amp! I guess the whole rig is an early "boom box"? LOL Great post, Colin. Thanks! -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Holy, Cosmic Turntable, Batman! We used to call 'em "Record Players".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 And now the kids call them "vinyl players". Funny how those old haircuts make the teenagers look like 30-year-olds to our modern eyes. Some of those reminded me of how you could always get a burger and a milkshake at the drugstore. I wonder why all the drugstores dropped the diner section?

skonopa Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I love this one.. After all, how many of us computer geeks wear that kind of outfit to work today. Seems to be blue jeans and t-shirts (and if you are lucky, maybe a polo shirt), pretty much as far as the eye can now-a-days. Not a one of us would even THINK about wearing a tie these days! And the sad thing is that my cell phone probably has several hundreds of thousands of times the processing power and memory storage as that big ol thing did back then, plus it fits in my pocket! And to think, there was period of time when I used to actually wear my hair like the guy standing up in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU73 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I used to love those old money boxes, not that I had any money.. but the one I had was like a 3 qtr apple which had a button on the bitten qtr, you put a coin on the button and a worm pops out of the apple and eats your coin. It was so cool.. very retro. They just don’t make things like they used to… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU73 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 i love the pictures of the old turntables, if not for those retro record players we probably wouldnt have the audio systems we have today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
