Oh man…if your Garage Band had one of these in the 60’s and playing Born to be Wild you were the Bomb!

Till the amp exploded.
That was even better! Pyrotechnics!
Actually those things were probably damaged more by hauling them around than playing them. My son has a similar Sears head and it was re-capped and re-glassed and it cranks…no distortion pedal needed. Ha!

Talkin' 'bout school supplies
Nifty Loose Leaf Notebook

I had one in 4th grade and the teacher did not like it. I think that the paper was a slightly different dimension due to the holes being on the top. Had to conform with the normal 8 1/2 X 11 side-hole format.
Got razzed about it on the school bus by the bullies. "Hey Nifty-fifty". Scarred me for life.
