Hello atco, any update on the Slot car and train situation?

I remember those neck and shoulder massages at U-Tapao. I think they were 35 cents.

cool video

Hey, this setup is the same as the Mego 2-xl robot. It won't switch tracks at all and then will sometimes. Could it be the same sensor?

Thank you!! Reminds me of my Air Force service -- 1972-76. My tech school was about 9 months. So, I missed Vietnam. But I did end up in Korea--1974-75.

12 year later and you saved me. thank you

There was hula hoops and Duncan yo you in my time. I had the Atlas Ho motoring race car set in 1964. I loved those candy cigarettes too

I also madé some mistake in repairing my fathers foreign valve radio but now I have made it as fm and enjoying 😊😊😊😊

Love your videos! I always learn so much and there's always something you show that brings back a personal memory. Thank you!

Got my first transistor radio about 1962. It wasn't just about music it connected you to the world. Just like this phone I have in my hand now. Thanks for stirring up the memories.

hi! i know this video is rather old but i was hoping if anyone could help me. i have a 70’s top load cassette deck, Fairmate CD-703. ive opened it up trying to find the record/playback switch but to no avail. its hard to find a manual for it online too.

I remember my first Sony Walkman in mid 1980's. I also bought an MP3 player in the mid-2000's which had a whole 16MB of memory.

Had an AM transistor radio back in the day, and this was like early / mid 1980's. It went just about everywhere I went. Then by the late 80's, I had a GE AM/FM cassette Walkman, and that took things to a whole new level.

Any radio’s I had were solid state instead of transistor.

I can remember my first portable radio. I would duct tape it to my Stingray bicycle & just ride for hours!

Yeah, zig-zag tread on the boots @0:32. I remember those. Imitation leather maybe. Never saw that uniform that he's wearing though. Pickle suit, you bet.

Only lingering issue is if you have a few clouds going by and the light level drops, you have to go out and do the unplug/replug, Now when I adjust the panel I always check the input watts. It’s a minor annoyance.

Heck you are famous now Atco. You probably can't go anywhere without being known thanks to your show.😂

Any body from the 366oms?

Thank you for your service to our country! It looks like you were having a great time in that picture.

Enlisted in the AF in '71, went to Thailand (Korat, U-Tapao, Takali) in '72. 1505s were the best. Chanute for tech school.

Another story: my cousin was travelling & saw a store with his same last name so he went in & asked the owner if they could be related & such & seemed to find no connection but just before he left, the guy said, "By the way, my name is so n so Trower", which is my name & my cousins mother's maiden name & a RARE name but he thought if he then mentioned that, the guy would just think he was a weirdo so he left without saying anything more! lol

OMG, I have a couple similar stories...When I was a kid in St. Louis, we had neighbors called the Millers. We never ran into them anywhere locally, but we ran into them in Williamsburg VA one time!!! But that's just the beginning...in 1999, my dad & I rode bikes across MO on this trail called The Katy Trail....While doing this we met this family called The Mooreheads doing the same thing....I wrote a series of articles for the local newspaper about our adventures...Then a few months later, my parents were at a bakery where Mrs. Miller happened to work & she had read my articles so when she saw my dad, she mentioned The Katy Trail....The woman standing behind my parents then says, "Oh my God, you are Dave Trower from The Katy Trail???!!! I'm Mrs. Moorehead!!!!" What are the odds?? But the insanity doesn't end there!!! One of the tiny towns along the Katy where we & Mooreheads both had lunch was where Mrs. Miller grew up!!! Like a town of 200!!!!

Nice stories Atco.

I Enjoyed hearing that Thanks..

Nice video.

I find collecting Ipods to be a great hobby. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of other people collect them too. That purchase is a very good one!

Glad to see you making new videos my friend hope your doing well

Hello, in my case i have an old Artin track that needs more power as well . The current converter says output DC 6v 1.2 A , if I want to change it for a laptop converter does it needs to be dc output 6v as well ?

I joined in 1979.mWent to basic July 26, 79. It was a shock to see Vietnam members in all of our squadron flights. They seemed tiered and their uniforms were not the best looking. If you referred to them as Sir, they would usually say " Don't call me SIR, I work for a living." Many smoked heavily, and alcohol was their chose of friends. I was assigned my first dorm room. I thought wow I have a room. Well it was about 20' x 20' It was small and I am not sure of the measurements. But picture this. NO WINDOWS, a bunkbed against the back wall, the beds went right to left and only had 2 feet

Almost swallowed my cigar when you didn't say "Atco Here" at the opening. Anyhow, really enjoyed your video and hope for many more. I have used ipod-nanos (version 6) to listen to books on tape for many years. I prefer that model because of the nice clip. When they wear out, mostly the switch, sell or trade on ebay and buy a refurbished one. Keep up the entertaining of we youtube viewers.

Cool video, ATCO! I sometimes do some thrifting at stores like goodwill but I still haven’t been back to sale-ing.

I've not been to a yard sale since before covid. They are an inexpensive form of entertainment fun.

Great to see you back at yard sales ATCO .. I love the yard sale videos!! Whatever happened to all the old videos about yard sales you deleted them?? That was a great score on those iPods!

Hey Atco! Good to see you, and I hope you're doing well. Yard sales are few and far between where I live, so I tend to check them out when they pop up. More often than not, I end up walking away empty-handed because nothing interests me.

Sir I’m so glad to see you back on your video. Really enjoy your channel. Honestly though just the words of yard sale makes me sick at my stomach. I have thrown away so much garbage that I’ve bought at yard sales. I’m not interested in anymore however I do love watching you enjoy yourself more power to you, God bless brother Travis in ky

I have a 3rd generation iPod that still works. Had to go to Best Buy to buy a cable for it. I was able to connect to my new iMac desktop and was able to charge it. Haven’t really used it though?

Good to see you again! Great scores on the iPods & it seems like you enjoyed getting out to the sales again!

Wow, GREAT scores, especially those iPods! Congrats👍

Great to see you on again! Good finds!

Thanks Atco, you are sincerely appreciated, I do enjoy your stories and knowledge of subjects. Best wishes to you always! Rod in Utah

Miss ya buddy...keep the vids coming

I completely get it.........although not a lot of people will. I've still got my Commodore 64, the one I received for my 13th Birthday back in 1983. Just looking at it gives me pleasure and makes me feel good, and it always will. It doesn't matter whether it's an old car, a dog or a Commodore 64, there's something that gives all of us a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction.

Back in the 90’s I was collecting a lot of old computers. I have an Atari 400 at home.

I can't really say I remember anything about vintage pc's. The 1st one I ever owned (and it was old at the time) was a Zenith Data Systems pc with windows 3.1 and I think the only thing I could ever do on it was play solitaire, lol. In office machines class back in high school I briefly dabbled with the "PC"s they had...a Wang, and an IBM Color Computer that took up most of a cafeteria table. I always associated computers back then with banks and punch cards and big tape reels, you know, stuff rocket scientists messed with. The first I ever went online was with a WebTV by Magnavox/Philips and the first computer I bought new was a Dell Inspiron in 2007 with Windows Vista. I've always been slow to adapt to new stuff. My first cell phone is my current one. Had a land line up till the year before last. My truck is a '98 Ranger and it's only the 2nd vehicle I've ever had with fuel injection. I must confess I'm better with carburetors, lol.

Like hearing about the vintage equipment. Brings back memories.

Hi Atco. Great to hear from you again. Retro technology is almost always fun.Vintage computers, stereos, gramophones, 8 tracks, slot cars, trains...take your pick...are fun nostalgia for those of us of a certain age. As you said even merely looking at these aging artifacts remind us of youth, or simpler times, or past passions. Again, great to see you post a new video.

I remember that video of your museum. Very cool

We had the Apple 2 in our basement

WOW! Great video! Now you're talking my language! I collect Retro Rigs! If you're ever in California, I will give you a grand tour.
