I knew sooner or later I'd have to respond to all the Allied and Radio
Shack stuff being posted ... it brings back a lot of memories here
too.

I had the pleasure of working several years for a R/S franchise store
(not "dealer" nor "company" store). Talk about A Dream come true!  I
still miss it.  Anyway, I haven't heard mention of the Adult Toy Mail
order company that still makes us all wish we had more mad money
stashed, Edmund Scientific!

On a more down to earth subject, Can anyone suggest a cheap easy
method of buffing out old phone housings?


[Moderator's Note: Now don't get me started on Edmund Scientific!
Gosh, all those old companies with their wonderful catalogs and great
'rainy Saturday afternoon' projects for kids and grown-ups alike!
Years ago I supervised a Saturday afternoon 'science workshop' for
little kids sponsored by the Chicago Public Library for one winter.
Edmund gave us a couple thousand dollars in freebies for the kids, and
I had fun too!   Do I wish it was 1960 again, or what?  :)    PAT]
