"Cats Whisker"
I never thought of using a razor blade. I used a sewing needle touching an ungrounded metal part of a lamp in the living room. It was hard to make it work.

Not by.the hair on my chinny chinchilla.
It's almost as exciting as the Thrilla in Manila!
"Things" means things, as everyone else understood. Again: no one else has posted a dead person here as an example of "things you don't see any more" (see thread title). Otherwise, why not post a photo of every famous musician (or less famous musician, like Russell) who died in the last 50 years or so?
Eeeewwwwww, I hate chord organs! Back in the day, trying to put together my first rock band, real combo organs were ridiculously expensive compared to guitars ($300 for a cheap Elka Panther vs $50-$60 for most cheap guitars), so naturally, these wretched Magnus chord organs (which every other family seemed to own one of) were a possibility, but after one listen, and I knew the answer was definitely NO! That is NOT the sound of The Doors, The Monkees, The Dave Clark Five, Iron Butterfly, the Animals, etc. It's basically a harmonica or accordion in a different housing. Now I have a respectable collection of real combo organs, and there's not a reed/air organ among them!
(sorry for the rant, couldn't help myself!)
One last comment on this, if you don’t agree, that’s cool, but we disagree, which is allowed you know.
I am not the only one to do so, I did not do so until after I saw someone else do it.
Plus there are things associated with that oerson that went away as well.
No disrespect is intended
Yes, I have to chime in and agree, as I am sure some hundreds of posts back there is a nice pic of Tom Petty (whom we don't see much anymore, RIP)
Going soon…

‘We’re losing accessibility’: the US says goodbye to the mass-market paperback — Guardian US
The so-called ‘pocket book’ sold in supermarkets is being phased out across the US, the latest sign of an ongoing shift in how people are choosing to read
It still did last time I was there. That was a while ago.
Actually I was thinking of Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at OU. It doesn't seem like too long ago that they had troughs still.
I guess I am an outlier. I have a large collection of books and I still keep buying them. I read real pixel-less books all the time.Going soon…

Well, I believe that was about pulp-style paperbacks merchandised in grocery stores, and how those in particular are being phased out. I go into all sorts of Barnes and Noble locations, and they’re always busy, and there’s a surprising number of younger people there quite often.
My favorite store is one that I’ll bet you’re familiar with, Vroman’s in Pasadena.
We had a local used book store that sold/traded books. Owner was a very sweet, lovely lady we thought the world of. She got to a point where business wasn't covering the rent and closed. My wife stopped reading altogether and I get everything by ebook. I like it because if I have my phone I have my current read.
Don't know that one. We rarely went to Pasadena when we lived out there. Only to go to the Huntington (San Marino, actually) or the Doo-Dah Parade.
I'd love to go to Pasadena now that I have become entrenched in the Arts & Crafts world.
