6. Those things were bricks! |

I remember having it be quite a hike to the nearest video store. This was when they were owned by mom and pop, and not Blockbuster.

I used to have a top loading cassette deck! I bought it in 1974-- just after I bought my reel to reel tape recorder. (Man, I wish I still had that baby!)

11. My RCA actually still works |
|
1978-79 or so. It's in the closet, but I tried it out last year when I moved (I'd hate to keep something that didn't work, after all), and it still keeps playing, though nothing recorded in EP or LP.

12. I do, I also remember my Hubby |
|
bragging when we first married 20 years ago that he paid 700 bucks for the one he carried into our marriage. I thought right then this man needs an adjustment. He doesn't do dumb stuff like that any more.

14. We still have one that works! |

It was the first one we ever had when I was a kid. It somehow made it's way to our house and is in my son's room. It's a VHS by the way.
