I have a Teleton amp on my desk at work - gets used for listening to radio etc on a daily basis. Manufactured in 1975, and in continuous use since! Apparently they were a cheapo japanese import at the time, though.pbar wrote:It's crazy isn't it Rob, must of been a weeks wages or something for that size of TV back then.Caprifan Rob wrote:
Still can't get over the price of that 14" TV , must have been a hell of a price in 1978, I guess 'Teleton' was a big name in the '70s, it was also a 'cutting edge' colour model too

Re: Who Remembers?
We also have a selection of Laserdiscs still in daily use, and until a couple of years ago we had some 1969 8-track cartridge players and 1970s Kodak slide projectors, all of which still ran well. Easy enough to service and they just kept on going.andyd wrote:tejb1 wrote:

Equally, until recently I had a post office dial telephone on my desk. No wonder my colleague says I live in the 80s!

You have all this stuff at work?! Is it to do with your job, or do you just simply like to have it around and/or use it.tejb1 wrote:

The 15.5p one titled "Information Technology" is part of a set that I'm fairly certain I had in my stamp album when I was a boy!

Re: Who Remembers?
Wow, that's amazing Peter! That must either be sent by someone who has some ancient stamps still for some reason, or a parcel you have been expecting for a very long time!Peter-S wrote:How about postage stamps with 1/2p on?
I was reminded by these which were on a parcel I received this morning

Great thread chaps. Some of it I am a bit to late for but still a good read none the less. I do remember a few things though. The I-spy books and also the fish and chips crisps. Mmmmmm.
Does any one remember these http://www.electrokinetica.org/shareddb ... pg&r=1&w=1
Hope the link works. I can't put pics from my phone on here for whatever reason. It's a goblin teas made. My mum had one. Always got a bollocking for playing around with it in the mornings ha

Re: Who Remembers?
We had a Goblin teasmaid too. I never saw it being used that I can remember, but we had it for years, and it was just an ornament really, but used for the clock and/or light. A different one to the one in that pic, but same kind of thing.

Re: Who Remembers?
Now we're talking, used to love these Matchbox cars out all over the floor, pulling into the garage, rolling down the ramp, great stuff. And as for the racing track, that was ultimate excitement!

Re: Who Remembers?
Wow, I had those too, we were so easily amused! Remembered how excited I was setting up the run down to the 'loop the loop' so the car would go all the way round without dropping off
