The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Hasbro's Plastic Puzzle Vision Of The United States
By bohus
One of the first posts I ever wrote for Retro Thing still gets comments two years later. I told our dear readers about the Marx Plastic Presidents, a set of figures depicting the leaders of the USA. What better nation for them to preside over than this shiny plastic version of the United States by Hasbro?
As a boy when I had to memorize the states and their capitols, a puzzle like this one was invaluable. Once you fit the states into place (the pieces even display the year each state was founded), there are little holes to plug in the names of the state capitols. This Hasbro set has an extra set of little plastic signs for each state because you also have to know the principle product of each state. The principle product of each state back in 1967 when this set was issued, of course.
