I worked on cars for over 40 years before retiring. That Victor torch set is the gold standard of oxy/acetylene. Call any reputable car collector or museum, tell them you have a 50 year old complet set, new in box. You'll double your money on that deal easy.

They made MILLIONS of them though... I don't think it's really anything "special"... other than it never being used (and the packaging is a bit rough). Can't imagine there being many "collectors" for things like that. People buy those to use them.

So... who knows... you might be imagining right, a Jay Leno level collector might not be interested in a 70's NOS in box complete Victor set for $150+. Time....will tell aye?

I remember when I was an antique dealer I'd come across solid silver pocket watches. They look good but nobody uses them anymore so there's no real value in them, especially if they don't work.. The irony is the winding key is worth more than the watch and the chain if its silver might have a couple of ounces of silver in it... Love the show and the way you always show respect and honesty to your customers. A rare thing in your business

At 24:30, That's an Aquarius PC by Mattel. It's based on the same operating system as Intellivision. (There's even an accessory adapter that plugs into the cartridge slot that allows you to plug in two Intellivision controllers. Sold separately.) Aquarius computers came out after the Intellivision II system, but for whatever reason they were inferior to the Intellivision console systems. (Less RAM, so the cartridges are incompatible with each other.) However, the good news is they are worth a ton of money to the Retro collector community. You don't see these come up often, especially in that shape with the original boxes. I have mine with all of the accessories I've mentioned. I've had mine since I was a kid. GREAT find!

MREs have glamorous food. When I was in the Army in the early 70's we had C-rats dating from the Korean War period. Didn't kill anyone or make anyone sick. C-Rats were tolerable, but the Scrambled eggs with ham were quite unique. The accessory pack did include a 4 pack of cigarettes, gum, matches, toilet paper, etc... The cans were opened with a P-38 can opener which I still have. C-rats I think, were used until the late 70's - early 80's, and the early MREs were nothing to talk about compared to today's MREs. The soldiers today deserve the best and the current MREs keep getting better all the time.

I've known almost every PC/Game device since the 70s and never heard of the Aquarius. No wonder, it lasted only 4 months. Released by Mattel and manufactured by Radofim. No wonder, it was released in 1983 w-a Z80 when you had 6502 and Intel 8088s that ppl were buying at that time. Interesting you got one someone actually bought, probably disappointing some kid at the time who wanted a real computer.
@gsc12392 ай бұрын
The Mattel Aquarius is rare. I’ve only come across one. However, it’s one of those computers that just isn’t powerful at all, and there aren’t many games for it. I expect those to sell around $100 fully working. Very similar to the TI-99/Timex Sinclair price ranges. C64s sell for a lot more working. I’ve been collecting and selling vintage computers since I was 16 in 2019.

@@andrewdarowski1975 The classic example of "overwound" is when the crown no longer turns and the watch no longer runs. If you turn a watch crown with enough force to strip the winding wheel it wouldn't stop the crown from turning, in fact, it would turn even more freely than ever before.

@@Stanjara When the mainspring is fully wound, it is tight around the mainspring arbor, the force it takes to push beyond that and break a mainspring generally requires tools with force beyond that of a human hand. If you do break a mainspring the watch will still wind and often times will still run, you just won't be able to wind the mainspring fully anymore as when you wind past the point of the break, the spring will slip and the energy will be lost.

Everyone thinks their stuff is worth a fortune but to most people, it's just somebody else's shit. True value on anything of value is only determined by a willing buyer & seller agreeing on a price. Sold transactions are only a guide for value but do all your homework and due diligence on anything of value you want to buy or sell. Last major item I sold was my home and I sold FSBO but I was a broker for a long time. Didn't pay a commission for my side but my buyer had an agent so offer was high enough I didn't mind paying the agent $5k.
