I remember when...video memories

Flashlights were not common house items... 19th century kerosene lamp:

I had a few conversations using this morse code key.
Also in the video is a 1930's am radio, WWII ships clock and a early edison light bulb.


And of course pre Ipod days.....

...when a clock was a huge mechanical device only a mayor church could affort to have:

...when Germany still had Kings and Queens.

...when a train was still a huge hissing, puffing and steaming monster, and a ride on said train was said to drive people mad due to the enourmous speed of the ride (27km/h)


Well, actually I don't remember any of that. I'm old, but not THAT old. ;-)

Early 90s portable cassette recorder...this is what existed before mp3 players and portable CD players came-out.

I still have boxes full of cassettes.

I remember that listening a 33 LP record was a magical experience...

After more than 50 years this thing is still working. Dusty but still rocking... I have not used one of these since the 70s when 8-track became the norm, Then the cassette players...the Cd player,,, I think I am going to re-do this clip with a green screen in the background.

Garrard turntable - Made in England

Whitney Houston - One of her first singles:

I had a working 8 track player a year ago. Shame..I threw it away...

8mm home movies...

Nice clip bayoudragonfly, Why do old things last for so long and the new dvd players are only good for 2 years?

This is one of the first truly 'pocket' celular phones produced by Motorola in the late 1980's. It was heavy and it had a metal front plate. You could even use it as a defense weapon. It was called "the brick" .

And before there were cell phones
