I had the exact Sony stereo in the early 80s. Sort of wish I would have kept it

The rubber belts and pinch rollers on the tapedeck disolved into goo in the 00s.
Same for the record player, if belt drive.
The rolled edges on the speaker cones? also, disolved in the 00s.

I had a crazy car. Lots of fun. Others had the Big Wheel, but this thing exercised the arms like crazy.

A few years ago I found a crazy car someone was throwing out. I brought it home and my kids used it for years, then we gave it to one of the neighbors. I think it’s still getting passed on to others as their kids outgrow them.

Do we miss the convenience? I tried to find an intact one for my house and a soap dispenser that looked like a wall-mounted clear glass light bulb. Sadly, long gone now, unless you like plastic crap.

Of course and actually, Ace was really just Paul Carrack and band. Paul did vocals for several bands. My favorite by him was Tempted, he did with the band Squeeze.

Oh my gosh I haven’t thought of this one since the 70s. I always liked it but I never picked up a 45 while it was in the rack. Thanks!

My dad worked for Railway Express Agency (REA) for decades until they went belly up. As a kid I would help unload railcars and ride along with some of the drivers. Indeed they were the “Good Old Days” !

One day 20 years from now the half billion humans who were allowed to live will sit in front of their holograms eating bugs and thinking 2023 was the good old days. Then the AI robots will descend on them to punish them for wrong thought.
