Is it Crazy to want a Retro Lava Lamp
มุมมอง 146วันที่ผ่านมา
I have been looking for a 70s style lava lamp for quite awhile now and gave up buying an original and instead bought this retro 70s looking lamp with the red bubbles just like the one we had back when I was a teenager in the 70s it was cheaper to buy a newer lamp than risk buying an older one that may not work  Music: Words Musician: music by audionautix.com License: creativecommons.org/licens...

    I not only have one of those, but I own 2! One I bought new back in the day, and the other sometime later in our local Salvation Army. I also have the Namco Ms. Pac-Man, which also has Mappy, Pole Position, Xevious, and Galaga. Both games sit on a shelf right below my Toshiba, which looks the same as yours-Mine is a 14 inch. I can't tell the size of yours in the video.

    Nice find! I had this exact plug-n-play game as a kid. I still have it, but unfortunately it suffers from flakey visuals, no sound and corroded battery contacts. There was also a "sequel" model that had Ms. Pac Man and a unique version of Pole Position where you twist the joystick to steer. These old Jakks Pacific plug-n-plays were the best!

    They ( and "Savers" in the US) price many things fairly (tapes for example), and other things WAY too high (stereo for example). But then i got lucky for $9.99 i got a mint JVC cassette deck, so you never know. It's frustrating when they are so far off though! And separating the speakers was stupid.

    8 tracks are fun! I used to like 8 tracks way more but I no longer have time to refurbish the tapes. I have hundreds of them but they all need new sponge pads and foil tape. I mainly focus on cassettes and LPs and oftentimes I find them a lot easier to get going. If you don’t mind the process of opening the case and putting in new pads and foil then they’re a wonderful format. I have a Pioneer HR99 8 track player I thrifted (paid a bit more for it lol) but I gave it to my parents who enjoy fixing the tapes. That was a deal for 9.99 and only a dollar for the other one plus some tapes is unreal!
