I saw these items today at a big flea market in Breda (Holland).
 
While moving some boxes around in the basement last month, I found my vintage 1966 Aurora Model Motoring slot cars!!! Just as I left them when I packed them up in June 1971 (mom and I moved from a big house to a small apartment). This is the only toy I saved from the childhood. A little cleaning of the track and cars and they still work.

That brings back some great memories. I noticed the silicone tire mod too. Nice!

No! Vintage Traynor amps were the poor man’s Marshal. When I owned my YBA-1A, our guitarist loved to use it!

I still have a YBA and it’s been re-glassed and re-capped. I also put a grounded plug on it. It still sounds great. My Son gigged with it for 8 years. Tank is a good description.

My friend has one that he would sell but it’s the one with bumpers on the cabinet. I want one like my old one with the fan on the side…I’m picky that way.
I want…definitely don’t need.
I still have the Acoustic 301 cabinet.
