Too easy...and I had about a dozen of 'em because I kept misplacing them. I should have kept them next to this thing.

I barely remember going to the drugstore with my dad in the early 70's to fix the TV.

That would be a 4-Track. I had one in my '67 Cougar...got it installed at "Mad Man Muntz"!

Replaced it with a state of the art 8 track in '69!

Okay, old farts...who remembers this: (it made having to accompany my sisters and mom on their endless shoe-buying spree somewhat enjoyable)

CSB got mine in NBC school back, oh hell back a while ago.

Zonie, loved those things for looking at my toes, didn't know the xray splash could do damage back then.

Buster Brown X-ray. I worked in a shoe store, in High School, that had one. It was deactivated, but I did my best to re-activate it. It was going to be my Science Fair project.

HaHa!

The Ambassador was my 2nd car. My parents passed it to me. It had a 360 v8 in it and that sucker would flat out FLY!. I can't imagine what it would have been like with a 4 barrel carb on it. This one didn't have push button though. It was an automatic on the column.

My favorite part was that it laid down to a 9 foot bed.

Just saying, high school, ...............................

Want the tape tighter? Use the eraser end.
Tired of the tape or problems with the tape? Use the pointie end. Slip it under the tape; hang on to the pencil. Drop the cassette out the window at about 70 mph.
