Just came across one of the old science fair kits. 200 in 1 project job. Not
too bad of shape, but missing battery door. Book was with it, it too isn't
too bad, but not new, that is for sure. Shows signs of age and use.

Man, you're bringing back memories with that RadShack
battery/ashtray.....hope you find one.

I remember those funky ashtrays and the fact that you could smoke freely
inside the stores back then. Most retail establishments had ashtrays

placed
in aisles and such. People would walk around puffing and dropping

clinkers
inside stereo's, on top of displays....what a mess! Little kids would

kick
over the ashtrays, and that crappy white sand would be a mess on the

floor.

What ever happened to the good old days?

BTW, I was at a hamfest this Summer and passed up one of those Shack

"free"
5-cell flashlights (all the flyers had a coupon for this item to draw in

the
unsuspecting fools - - - little did they know that they had to purchase

five
D batteries while in the store to get the darned thing lit).

Ahhhhh, vintage Radio Shack.
