DR Mitch, same issue here I know cars, mechanical things, building things, etc, but don't know much about electronics. Someone once said to me "make sure your replace all the caps and the whatevers" and I looked at him like he was talking greek. Electronics is one course I wish I had taken...

Sounds to me like spray foam insulation Is this around a door frame or window? This is still common and sold, and I don't think there is any toxicity to it. Basically it's a can and you spray it in cracks and it expands and fills, then it dries and becomes insulation. I used it in my old...

Veg great idea... We have a vintage aluminum one with the roto-light unit. The thing is really scraggly though...maybe with enough tinsel. We didn't decorate at all last year because we were in the process of selling the house. It was terrible. This year, I am making up for it. It is going to...

Pete... That is exactly it. It is Operation Orbit, made in about 1963 by Transogram. I have a salesman's flyer on it somewhere. I thought I was buying a console play toy, but it really is a skill game. Your "rocket" is a magnet that spins around in a circle. It picks up the rocket nose cone...

Closet area Still many, many items in crates. Just don't have time.

Right side of room Here is the right side as you walk in. Operation X500 by Deluxe Reading, Eldon Bowl-a-Matic, another Skee-Ball plus a bizarre mini Skee-Ball, an Operation Orbit (years to find that one) GiJoe Mobile Support Vehicle, and a really odd Mattel Driving School from like 1960.

Veg, here you go, as promised. Everybody please add!!!! Here are a few shots of my new toy room. Still not set up all the way yet, but getting there. PLEASE EXCUSE THE MESS! But I wanted to share, just know I wish the "presentation" was more attractive. Our house is really split into two...

Ok you got it Veg Fortunately I already have a bunch taken. I will start a new thread (if people are not sick enough of me already)!

Didn't think that at all Washinsheen Thought maybe I had with my comments though. Do you remember the glass shelves with all the pies? Like you mentioned, plus chocolate cream, cakes, etc? There there would be that strange shelf with different colored drinks already poured into glasses. What...

Mom still has a lettuce saver! with the "spike" insert in the bottom. I agree with the soft stuff being cool. We had two sets of things I remember most when I was a kid. One was a set of pale green and tan small, thin tumblers. Each had its own lid! I don't know what the application was...save...

Posters.... "Kevin, I love the case and it looks beautiful, but what I really noticed was the great "Shag" posters!!!" Thanks everyone for the nice comments. FilterFlow--I was unaware of the "Shag" name for these. These are actually postcards that we bought at the Cinerama Dome gift shop when...

Here is another view... ...of the case and contents.

We had a dinner party Saturday evening, so it was a good forced 'excuse' to finally attend to our display case. It was shabby and unorganized since the move, with inappropriate items in it, and important items NOT in it. So I got it straightened out. I still have some "fine tuning" to do to it...

Fun Tupperware Item Here is a Tupperware Home Office set, complete with pen and book! The tray sits inside the main Klutter Keeper, according to the booklet. This is from 1994.

Found out about an interesting event and went to it Saturday. We have a local museum here, it’s very small and usually has displays of local artifacts, Indian baskets, pioneer items, etc. It has been home for the last few weeks to a mini-Tupperware show! Evidently, there is a local couple who...

Veg.....FANTASTIC! We had a pull down light similar, but more ovoid shape to the pull down part. I can still remember the sound of pushing it up or pulling it down of that mechanism. The cord was thick and cloth covered. My mom also had the perc all the way to the left on your shelf. I don't...

Speaking of interesting places to eat Admittedly way down the "food chain"! from Furrs, does anyone remember King's Food Host? Man, I forgot about that one. You went there, and it was all booths. The menu was lit up on the wall next to a phone. Not kidding. You picked up the phone and ordered...

Furr's oldies When we went to the one back out here in Ontario, you're right, it was a bunch of old people. The service was terrible, and there was absolutely nothing fun or interesting about it. I remember the food being totally bland. I could care less if there were old people there, if the...

washinsheen..... A lot of good memories there. You mentioned Furrs Cafeteria. I was born in LA, but spent my years 4-13 in Denver. I know Furrs was out here, and about 8 years ago, went to the last one opened out here in CA, I think in Ontario. It was not very good. However, it is in stark...

What is amazing... stoves of this age range can often be so cheap. $25. $50. A Flair maybe a bit more. Makes sense to get them now while available. Sooner or later they will be like O and Ms. and be very expensive to get a good one!
