I'd love to see a ban on pharmaceutical ads.

Your political insights are golden. I am always surprise that someone of your age has them, but then I am relieved that people exist that do actually have their own thoughts.

"Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other." --Oscar Ameringer

I still used to hear cigarette ads on SABC’s Springbok Radio as late as 1978.

I live in rural southwest Virginia, I'm 10 minutes from the Kentucky state line and 15 from the Tennessee state line, and as a kid in the 1980s every field used to be filled with tobacco plants. This part of Virginia was known for two things coal that was brought out of our mountains and tobacco grown in our fields. My town had a huge tobacco warehouse where for one week out of the year there would be trucks loaded with tobacco going all the way around the building and down the road waiting to sell their crop. Many people I went to high school with got tobacco farming scholarships that enabled them to go to college when otherwise they could have never afforded to go. Now those fields sit empty and you rarely see tobacco growing in a field and it was due to the government making it harder for the farmers to grow it. So it's completely ignorant that now if you use any tobacco be it cigarettes, chewing tobacco or snus (which is my personal favorite) it reads right on the side of the container "Made with imported tobacco". So something that could be grown and raised in America, something that could provide jobs (and believe me there used to be a lot of jobs of high school age kids working picking and placing the tobacco in the barn to dry) and a good income to many local people in an area now where the largest employer is Social Services. So people still use tobacco, it's just now instead of it helping enrich American growers they grow it overseas where they probably produce a tobacco that's not as good a quality where they use who knows what as far as chemicals on it, then ship it back to the US to sell to Americans. Our government should stay the hell out of business, Americans should be allowed to grow what they want in their fields and for the record they should be able to mine the coal out of the mountains as well. It just angers me to see how just in my 44 yrs that my hometown has gone down hill due to the actions of the US government against it's own citizens.

American optical started making the liner again

I grew up with Magnavox products. My first big purchase after college was a Maggie console. It broke my heart to see a Magnavox space heater!

I’m from a town called Crestline.

What a true classic Look!

I still have somewhere only God knows a little am radio - Vita - but I've seem the same with other brands

As a collector do you find yourself more excited by discovering radios from brands you’ve never heard of or the ones from more established labels? -Glen

Cool thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I remember Holiday service stations when I lived in Minnesota in the late 1960’s. They sold radios?

Folks in Europe will be Familiar with The Word 'Holiday' as meaning Vacation!🌴🍀🏝😊🎉💥😎💦✌👙💞

There is always so much to learn from your videos. Thank you collectornet for my continuing education through watching your excellent RUclips channel. Fred

Truly appreciate your channel! Thank you👍👍

I worked at California Pep Boys as a kid in the late 70’s. By then most of the household and camping items had been phased out. We sold mostly auto parts, tires, and tools. But we still sold bicycles and lawnmowers. The house brand of paint was called Dubois, and the house brand of batteries was called Cadet. Thank you for the memories.

This Collector Fellow is Outstanding😊❤And Rather Unique🎉💜🏝🦅🌀

Good video thank you

Fabulous. As a Los Angeles television viewer of some vintage, I think these are terrific -- take me back to my first memories of the tube. -- KNXT Channel 2, then in sumptuous black and white.

Wait til you see its Romeo 🙂

Collectornet, you are very smart and awake to what's going on in our world today. We are now living in the Dictatorship and Censorship of the New World Order. I will never comply to It!

Let's bring 'em back! Soon rather many will desire miscellanies of the nostalgic back, to escape (at least partially) the near-future horrors a promising.

Loved this video. Having written copy myself, it must have been a real effort not to slip up & use _'that word!'_ ... except for the wrap up at the end 😉

Good video thank you

CIGARETTES. Does my comment show or have I been shadowbanned? 🤔

TT

RUclips is a megalomaniac 'protecting the children'... Have you seen the naked man on the camel pack?

I can still remember the good old days when you could say whatever you want on the Internet and some satanic blue haired prude in a furry costume at RUclips HQ couldn't tell you what to think.

Got a unopened packet of sullivans gentleman's ciga*ett*s .if you want them regards from over the pond

Great video & yes it is a shame the internet overlords of silicon valley & our tyrants in DC want to now even block advertising history. I remember packs of non filter Camel's very very well, when I was a kid in the early 1980s on weekends my parents would take me to a Jerry's Restaurant in Middlesboro, KY and right at the door was one of those old cigarette pack vending machines. The kind where you put your money in, in change of course and pull the knob below the displayed brand of cigarettes you wanted. My dad would send me to the machine. I also remember back in the 80s being sent into the store and being sold packs even at 10 yrs old by the cashier because my dad had sent me in. Yes cigarettes might have been unhealthy but what isn't, hell more people today are killing themselves by over eating, eating fast food or absolute toxic junk but it's cigarettes, and now nicotine pouches or vapes they want to forbid. I myself smoked a few years and still do from time to time, but I always use nicotine pouches and yes they're trying to ban those now as well, sheesh! I remember the non filter packs of Camel's very well. I even remember sending off and getting stuff like a yellow with blue writing Camel jacket, tshirts, and other things. I remember my grandpa used to roll his own cigarettes out of the metal pocket sized red cans of Prince Albert tobacco. Still to this day I love the smell of a cherry and vanilla pipe tobacco that my dad would enjoy from time to time, back when they allowed smoking everywhere including malls and those same malls also had tobacco shops with the wooden indian figures out front. I miss the 80s, if they ever make a time machine I'll go back to then and never return as I hate modern garbage and this putting warnings or stopping everything due to others being too dumb to take care of themselves.

Looking forward to part two

Looking forward to part two.

Kind of a fun blast from the past. "I'd rather fight than switch." Tareyton. We had a Holstein bull named Tareyton with a black patch around his eye way back when I was a kid. Yeah, I remember so many of these, and the full color full page ads in the magazines.

Great video, interesting reminder of how things used to be

First your Doctor recormends ' you know whats ' as being healthy then the Surgeon General has a change of mind. As Mr Go4Corvette points out the use of nefarious plant products in a ' you know what ' is now legal, I suspect a future Surgeon General will revise this. As always an excellent commentary of our past and most informative, much enjoyed with my beer and a ' you know what '. Best from the UK

1941 and 1942: before Lucky Strike Green went to war. Or at least before they thought ladies would prefer a white package.

Look at our society today. Smoking 🚬 pot is now OK along with all kinds of drugs on our streets but cigarettes or a little whiskey is bad. Seems to me we now have more crazy people than ever but I didn't see it with cigarette smokers 😂 The lesser of the evils?

HEADS UP, check YT has not unsubscribed you !. I was. Anyway another wonderful window on nicer times thank yo for the time you spend making this important content. 14:14 Eveready A and B battery $6.85 Now $76.13 Wow expensive running a portable radio and $69.85 now $776.31 for a push button radio !.

This really isn't that crazy of an idea. It seems like the stupid "free love" movement did in fact make Americans useless and demoralized. In fact it can be well presented that this whole movement was an inorganic social engineering program especially when you see these intelligence agencies all over the rock scene and record producers backgrounds and the after effects of things like the American serial killer and the devastating proliferation of mass drug addiction etc.

Good video thank you

Weird how people critique someone who is only speaking proper English. What has the world come to? 😆

I like it

Really neat I like it

Very clever

Star wars flyer. Darth Vader. 😂😂

It looks like something from Star Wars!

Have you looked inside the base unit? Is it exiting?

Je regrette de ne pas avoir gardé mon premier Walkman sony de 1981.
