After that humbling experience, I started working on my throwing to get some of the mechanics back. I'll never have the arm I once had, but I can easily throw from 3rd to 1st. on the fly and that's good enough for me. |

For all the grandparents.

In 1969, my college roommate had a Teac 7" reel to reel. I don't remember the model number, but it was amazing. He had a great amp, pre amp, and tuner. One day the local FM station announced it would play the yet-to-be released Beatle White Album without commercial interruption starting at Midnight. We stayed up and taped the album. We had it on tape before it was released. As I write this, I'm thinking I already shared this story sometime back. That's the great part about getting old. You can share the same old story and nobody stops you! |

In the summer of 1969 my boat (USS Enterprise) spent a week or so on R&R in Subic Bay. They had a huge Navy Exchange there because of all the ships transiting back and forth to Vietnam. I bought a Sansui receiver 5000A; speakers SP-3500; and turntable SR-4040, and set them up in our storeroom across from the ordnance shop. Late nights when off the line resounded with the sounds of Mike Cooper and Al Bloomfield on the Super Sessions album. Still one of my all time favorites. Guys came from all over the ship.
Those speakers lasted until 1994. The receiver until 1998, and I gave away the still perfectly functioning turntable to a friend in 2004. Sansui not only made top of the line audio equipment in those days, but they made it to last.

A generator for a bicycle, to power a headlight and or taillight. Mounted on the front or rear fork, and pressed against the tire.

You guys are too quick for me this morning, I need more coffee. Lots of kids had them, but I never wanted one. They looked dorky to me, and the last thing I would ever do in those days was display dorkiness. It could get your butt kicked in my neighborhood.

I had a generator light system on my JC Higgins bicycle during my paper
route years. It had a headlight and red tail light. The knurled generator wheel tended to wear a grove in the sidewall of my front tire. Also, these generators were unregulated - the faster you went, the higher the voltage. There was a long downhill avenue on the way to my paper route and if I went too fast, the bulbs burned out. There were a couple of spare bulbs clipped inside the headlight housing.

I could never get the bracket tightened down enough that the generator would stay firmly against the tire.

Kids these days will never know the pain we lived through with those things, because they are used to LED head/tail lights on bicycles that last for weeks and recharge with USB cables.....
