Yes, you are not alone, and that's just the living room, lost the other pics somewhere. Yes Frank, those are vinyl albums. I have about 5 boxes full there, then in my garage rafters and my good stuff in my entertainment room. I estimate 2000, I don't know, lost count years ago. You name it, I got it, and I will be selling someday when I get time to do so on ebay. I also just bought a turntable with a USB port on it to burn albums to disc. Then there's the 300+ 45'S, over 500 CD's and boxes of tapes and yes, one 8-track tape. |

No, it's Black Sabbath, Mob Rules, but I have lots of Elton on vinyl and what a great show he put on last year, it was one of the best sounding shows I've seen in a long time. |

Jim Hagani has been searching for a good set of beige, non-2+2 seatbelts for over a year. (and WOW~ a 1963 Schwinn girl's 3 speed bike! Does anyone else remember when bikes had fenders and only 3 speeds?) (no, I didn't think so  )

I only have the seats Frank, Those were in my 81, (from a 82) and I also have the 81 turbo rims, it's all that is left of my totaled Z car, a hit and run in the parking lot, a very sad Z story. I got that bike at the city dump, I can't believe someone threw away such a classic, and her name is Wendy. I put the chain back on, tightened the shifter and put air in the tires and works good. Now I just need a basket for the front and a Martha Stewart hat to wear while I ride it around. |

Don't forget the battery-operated "flashlight" and tire pump. 
Reminds me of Trixie Belden, somehow. |

Did they have battery technology back then? Wasn't it a wire to a gear/ampmeter thingamigigy driven by the tire, so the faster you went the brighter it got. bike pump?? Didn't you just ride it back home as far as you could until the tire would rip offf, then walk it the rest of the way home and fix it there. |

Yeah ~ they had silver RayOvac "9 lives" batteries in them, which lasted almost 20 minutes if your neighborhood buddy didn't play with the switch and leave it on during the daytime. The little rear wheel dynamos only came on the real expensive bikes, like the Raleigh "English Racer", which could cost as much as $100! (My first Austin Healey cost me $200). The tire pumps were a worthless gesture to make you feel "prepared" for a disaster. The pressure in the "skinny" tires was astronomical compared to the fat tires of other bikes, so you could walk home from anyplace in your own Hemisphere in the same amount of time it would have taken you to actually pump one of those tires up. I think the pump was best used as a bludgeon to ward off would-be thieves who wanted to steal your $100 bike. And they had "license plate" brackets on the rear of the seat (excuse me, on the rear of the SADDLE), because all bikes back then had to be registered with the police. No penalty if you didn't do it, but the cops would stop you and hassle you if you didn't have one, and turn your bike upside down and copy the number off the pedal cylinder. That's how I first learned a bike had a VIN number!
