Why, yes I do remember that. I have not seen that TV commercial since I was a kid.
I like the line in the commercial "Shrunken heads for all occasions."

I am also trying to find a torture device used in schools to help you to understood how something works
you can guess if you want, I doubt is still a device that would be used today.
This will help in those who would like to guess it before I find it: "If you could use it for more than a few seconds you would get an "A" for the course."

Okay here it is, the back round story, When I was in school I took a Basic Electricity class. Our teacher had one of these to demonstrate how current flows.
It is a hand crank generator. Now he had a "Manly test" he came up with, he would disconnect wires and had us hold on to the poles to finish the circuit. No one including me, could hold on to it long enough to get the light bulb to work , but not like we didn't try numerous times to get and "A" for the course. This thing was a lawsuit in the making in this day and age no doubt. Anyone else have this experience learning about electric in the 70's?
