5:20 I think that stuff came out around 1976, if it's the stuff I remember with a twist of lemon, to ease the nasty sodium-saccharine aftertaste. Saccharine has been on the market for about 130 years, but when they switched from sodium saccharine to calcium saccharine (today's SweetN'Low)in the '80s the taste improved massively. There was a cancer scare in the '70s, but it was due to a interaction with some chemical that only rats produce. The sugar industry also allegedly engineered the banning of Cyclamate (which is still legal in some countries) in 1969 on dubious grounds. Rumsfeld helped grease the skids for the approval of Aspartame, though nearly every other country in the developed world allows it. It's fine as long as you keep it cold, but it turns to methanol when heated; you can tolerate a little methanol (it's in ripe fruit), but too much will make you blind. The most dangerous sweetener I can imagine is sugar, especially of the liver-rotting high-fructose variety that's forced on Americans by the likes of Archer Daniels Midland.

At 13:10 we are shown a 100 watt incandescent light bulb in a socket. These bulbs are currently banned from retail stores, but you may continue to use installed bulbs and those on hand. However, for those who are out of 100 watt bulbs, there is a loophole. It is still legal for stores to sell a 3 way 50-100-150 watt incandescent light bulb. If you screw it into a 3 way socket and switch to the middle position, you have your 100 watt incandescent bulb. However, if you screw it into a 1 way socket, the 100 watt filament will illuminate in the "on" position, giving you your 100 watt incandescent light bulb! For some people, especially many of the elderly, the absence of the higher wattage replacement incandescent bulbs has created a hardship. You can use this loophole to help them out. Before you try the 3 way in a 1 way socket, examine the inside of the socket. There is an extra metal ring in the base of a 3 way bulb and it may short against metal parts in the bottom of the 1 way socket. If there is risk of causing a short circuit, replace the socket with one that is safe, or find another remedy. Dollar Tree stocked 3 way 50-100-150 incandescent bulbs at one time, but I have not seen them there for a long time. Target has a 2 pack for $5.29, but it is not available in all stores. I also find them at Batteries Plus and they should be in other light bulb specialty stores. Update: On further research, I find that California has imposed tighter restrictions on light bulb efficiency than those imposed at the Federal level. Incandescent 3 way 50-100-150 watt bulbs are effectively banned. That must be why I can't find them at local Target stores. They are still listed on the Dollar Tree website ($1.25 each, minimum order 20) but I feel certain that they won't ship the bulbs to California addresses. (In Dollar Tree stores, they should be sold individually.)

shango066, You have an EVP in this video! At eleven minutes and 21 seconds in (11:21/30:20), have the volume up a bit and listen. The voice is male. The voice is pretty clear and you can actually hear what it says. You say in your video at ten minutes and fifty seven seconds in (10:57/30:22), "Don't kick it around, you're being disrespectful with...With other people's abandoned trash in their houses." Just thought I'd share that information with you.

Would be cool to check if those weathered tapes you found would still play...and that MACK truck is awesome! *THAT* would make a cool resurrection video for sure!

At 1:44 that I do believe is a battery charger. Love the diet Seven Up bottle. OH MAN!! Bringing back memories for me. My Dad drove a truck cross country when I was a kid in the early seventies and we had a 12" black and white tv we carried along, I remember asking him to stop at a truck stop so I could finish watching Scooby Doo or whatever as we were leaving the broadcast region of some station, lol maybe 73" or 74" The B-61 Mack was also a jolt for me since I remember my Dad having one when I was very young, For those that have never been around a B-61 Mack truck the cab was about the size of a small pickup today, lol. By the time I was 10 or so he had a bubble nose 55' Kenworth, That's crazy. Thanks for the flashback!! I just last week picked up a 1980 Curtis Mathis 25" color console tv on the side of the road...I came home with it and plugged it in and lo and behold it fired right up and worked just fine...I have no use for it but I can't bring myself to trash it, lol. The back says it was made in February 1980...for rental only, not for sale.

In the early 70s when I was 13 I came across an abandoned house that had a calander from 1946 on the kitchen wall. I found all kinds of goodies in that place. Rings. A jar full of of the old style pennies. A very ornate pewter frame that had to be a hundred years old. A nice men's wind up watch that still worked. I was SO dirty I came home. Our town also had a car junk yard where anybody could take an old heap there and leave it. We use to play around there. A lot of those junkers still had the keys in the ignitions. I used to crank them and think "Wouldn't it be great if it started up?" I'd be the only 7th grader with his own car.

Not sure how interested you are in 8-tracks, it seems to be people either love them or hate them these days. But if you find that stuff fun, when you get time/make some room, you should go back and grab those 8-tracks. Even if the tape is shot, it’s always good to have parts carts (the plastic pinch rollers in the RCA carts will directly replace melted rollers in 60s Ampex and LearJet carts). You’d be surprised how some of those “trashed” 8-tracks turn out sounding just fine though, I’ve got a few that are in similar condition as those. Those AM/FM/8T units are my kind of things to mess around with. Love the resurrection and repair videos, looking forward to part 2!

The US congress passed a law in 2007 which began the phase out of production or importation of incandescence light bulbs starting in 2012 with the 100 watt bulb and going down to the 40 watt bulb in 2014.
