LMAO...I have one in the basement; came with the house.Mount that thing to the wall and enjoy.
Also see how many youngsters ask what it is.
This is mine, it lives in the garage. It has 20+ years of great service, and will easily give 20 more.

I may have that exact model, sitting on a bookshelf in my home office collecting dust for 15+ years now...
I was redoing my plugs and wiring and accidently plugged the wrong plug into my modem: I heard zzzz and didn't turn on after that.
There’s a place downtown called Pins Mechanical. It’s this:
Craft cocktails served in an industrial space with duckpin bowling, pinball & other classic games.
I guess if you’ve got pinball, you’ve gotta have a bar. They don’t serve food but you can bring outside food in.
BTW, I think there’s still a Malibu Racing track in town. That’s just go karts and pinball/video games. Does that count?
In CT we have a few locations called Monster Golf with black lighting. So when I go in there with my neon bright yellow hoodie with my daughter, I light up like a Christmas tree and I give her $20 and say you can play as long as that $20 lasts. We focus mostly on games that we can get tickets on.
Glass claw feet. They're not just for piano stools! I've always loved these things.
Okay I had that I remember it like was yesterday one of my favorite toys walked and mouth and the eyes light up a nice bright red color!
My Dad worked for Mattel when I was a kid, so he and my uncle got a few of these for us brings back memories. Hot Wheels Rally Case!
I was a dummy back then and wanted to only put the cars pictured on the label in the available slots. I did do that eventually, but many of my other Hot wheels were in a different case ha ha ha

Folding alarm clock like the one my parents took with us on vacation trips when we stayed in Motels 
A couple of years ago I was going through some junk trying to clear out a bit and ran across a 2400 baud modem still in the box and shrink wrap. I have no idea when or why I bought it.

I still have one of those clocks somewhere.
Ahhh more stuff this is exactly the cases I had to bust my hump bringing up and down flight of stairs in the restaurant as a kid! I worked as a dishwasher/ bar back, so I could buy my Gibson Ripper and SVT Stack new when I was 17 in 1975. I worked there for nearly 3 years every night after school. My night was finished when all of the dishes were done and I reloaded the bar with beer and soda. Now that was a double edge sword, because some nights were slow and I would get paid a flat amount no matter what time I was finished which was great, but if they had a jumping night than yeah not so great. Sat was all day and half day Sun to vacuum it was an all cash deal under the dashboard Italian friend of my Dad's they let me work there at 14 and a half. The week I bought my bass and rig was the same weekend I quit. did I mention Thursday night was garbage night ha ha ha
BTW I still have the Gibson Ripper and SVT because it reminds me of what I accomplished to get it myself 
did I mention Thursday night was garbage night ha ha ha
