I remember Heath kits, Cox 0.049 Black Widows cost $3.95, EK Logic, Kraft radios, TANG. After crashing the COX plastic CL plane, sending an order for part VIA MAIL!!!!!! Waiting 2-3 weeks for the parts to come in and crashing again an waiting for more parts.

Guillows kits were less then $2.00. Jet Fire gliders were .15 cents, air raid sirens on Saturdays, Thunder boats with piston engines, Mom spending $125.00 for groceries for 3 weeks for 5 kids, Being safe playing out side, being told that we had to be home by the time the street lights come on. Mail boxes on the corners. Milk in GLASS bottle with card board tops, cartoons that showed the coyote getting crushed by the rocks, skate boards and roller skates with clay wheels, getting into the zoo for free, riding the bus to the beach when I was 12 and being safe, spending hours trying to start a COX 0.049 by hand with no spring starter or electric starter, Cool power was $7.99 a gallon, glow heads were less then a buck, Goldberg Super Chipmunk kits was $54.99, low bounce wheels, kraft servo brick, (2) servos in one, weighed about as much as a real brick.


There is more.
