I remember in the 1960's a transistor radio was the thing to have, you were really something if you had one. I also remember reel to reels, 8-tracks, Did I leave anything else out?

50's would be a radio - but TV was just starting out and not many homes had it.
60's we had a TV - but a phonograph record player with a built in radio was the thing to have! My dad got a 8 mm movie camera then too - totally awesome since we hardly had any money and I'm sure he saved and saved to get it. (we've been able to transfer our 8mm home movies onto video)
I also remember the cameras back then were really big.
My dad got a reel to reel tape player in the 70's. I'm sure he saved and saved for that too. It was his toy for many many years.
In the late 70's we got our first stereo system - with an 8 track player, but my dad hooked up his reel to reel to it cause it sounded better. Poloroid cameras were a big thing too - imagine having instant pictures!!
O and I also remember getting a hand held calculator in the late 70's. WOW what a gift that was!

Ohhh - Let's start with a Heathkit hi-fi with a BSR turntable, then a reel to reel tape recorder, a beautiful Blaupunkt hi-fi radio with woofers, tweeters and that sort of stuff. Ham equipment - Knight kit T-150 transmitter, NC-155 receiver. oh yeah ~~ and a secondhand black and white TV.

You are so right about the transistor radio.
I had the grandfather of the boom box. In 1961 in the linden houses in Brooklyn. It was a portable radio Victrola. It took 12 d batteries people would hear me coming from blocks away.
We would dance in the street. I had a pair of shoes that would slide on cement. Thanks for the memories

a color tv was a special thing. some people even had a remote control to change the channel or volume. The remote was four buttons that had attached to them spring loaded hammers that hit metal bars of different lengths. High tech...lol

I had a "hi fi", but thought I had it all when I got an 8 track for my Gremlin.
OMG! Am I aging myself or what?

Oh there have been particularly some in that era. Andy Kaufman, Keith Moon, Screaming Jay Hawkins and Arthur Brown (as in "The loopy international of ...") come as we talk to ideas. you may positioned Richard Pryor into this mixture particularly, as you may J.D. Salinger, Stephen King and Steve Martin. And enable us to not forget Syd Barrett. Eccentricities have been embraced for the period of that era particularly. Now ... I dunno. seem at how Michael Jackson's image keeps to be tarnished - and all he substitute into, interior the tip, substitute into VERY eccentric.
