Things you don't see anymore

TV/Stereo Combo Cabinets.

They sounded GREAT for their time....

This is what I used to start learning bass in the 60's,....until my Dad got tired of having to replace the needle I kept breaking when I backed the record up over and over to learn songs...they bought me my own 'record player'.

Yeah you know what I don't see anymore kids being kids today they grow up too fast and a lot die way too soon. that was something that rarely happen when I was young.

While it's easy to think of it like that the reality is much different.

These things are not unique to this generation. The information about it and its instantaneous, continuous bombardment, that is what's new. We get information over load so it MUST be a problem, it's so wide spread!! Oh NOES !!! I think the facts support a different face to that same old problem. And really, that notion is bleaker to me. We have come so far, and changed so little. Or distractions have become better, but the human condition has changed very little.

It that a television? VERY early widescreen, then...

All of the bolded items in the list above are still out there. Perhaps some are not present for big city folk, but where I grew up they're still very present.

I still buy the Pepsi galls bottles made with real sugar cane, they are from mexico, nothing like real sugar and a glass bottle...NOTHING!

Mexican Coke is a big deal around here for the same reason...for-real sugar. Old-skool glass bottles as well.

 

[Definitely]

Mexican Coke is a big deal around here

That can be taken a couple different ways....

 

[My name is Mudd]

With sugar?

Coca Cola, then.

 

[Definitely]

With sugar?

Coca Cola, then.

Well all I saw was the first sentence before opening the thread , maybe it's being disguised as sugar in old-skool glass bottles?

 

[My name is Mudd]

You go first.

- edit - It just occurred to me that it would REALLY be old-skool Coke that way...that's where the name came from, after all.

The vehicle for my musical awakening was the General Electric Wildcat. This color in fact.

We had one as well. I guess the speakers were blown, my dad had replaced them with 6x9 car speakers (I remember seeing the same grills in the JC Whitney catalog.)

I played a milliion records on it. Most times, loading it with way too many LP's to operate properly.

Did you do the double nickles on the needle end to keep it running nice? I also had one of those grooved felt record cleaners that came with it's own smoked plastic holder. CUSTOM!!
