I remember every single example that has been listed but I go back much further than most of you. We had a rotary phone but we also had a four number phone and we were on a party line. I remember 33's, 45's, and 78's. I remember sitting around the radio before we had a tv listening to One Man's Family, Amos and Andy, Inner Sanctum, and The Lone Ranger. I remember that people who just got their tv's were so fascinated with the picture that some would sit and look at the test pattern before broadcasting began in the Morning. I vaguely remember the Checker's Speech when it was a live broadcast. I remember a lot more than this but you get the idea. (A Roadmaster bike)? Really wide tires, big seat, a battery operated horn and front and back battery powered lights.

I still use a rotary phone and wish the headlight dimmer was still on the floor.

Yes, and how about those FM Converters on AM radio. I had one in a 1972 Buick Century.



That is not me in the picture, but it reflects upon my Banned user name.

I remember the old pull tabs, but I don't remember opening a can of beer with the V shaped can opener.

I remember transistor radios and listening all night long to 50,000 watt clear-channel AM radio stations like WLS, WCFL, WOWO, WABC, and CKLW.

By day we'd listen to WHLO and then hit the Starlite Drive-In for a movie and a root beer in the evening!

Speaking of nostalgia how about some Johnny Carson holiday spirit? Carson
