When FM wasn't even stereo and in Cleveland WJW hadn't even had their call letters changed to WJKW.

Or when there was no FM. No FM in cars, no FM ANYWHERE. Sure FM came out a very long time ago, like in the 1930s, but we didn't hear it until when ?

Have you ever seen a record player for a car ? I have, not that I was born when it was invented, but........

And know the difference between an octal tube and a locktal tube.

And did anyone here EVER have a black and white TV as their ONLY TV ?

I remember when there were only about three televisions in the whole street! all b/w, and none in our house.
Three channels.
Test card & shut down.

Gas fixtures instead of electricity, all cars were stick, phones where you had to call the operator first and give your number, "party lines," long distance was a big production, you had to call the operator and she would call you back when she got through.

Doctors made house calls, butchers gave you free bones for the dog, the vegetable man traveled down the street with his cart and horse, and the milk man delivered.

You could give your kid money to go to the store for you and buy cigarettes or alcohol. Processed food hardly existed, microwaves (and dishwashers) were unheard of, people had to actually cook.

Every community had a local theater, and Saturday afternoons there was a double feature for a quarter. Gas was 16 cents a gallon but let's not go there.

Now I can barely hold the pen
