Ten Favorite Things (in the 1970s)

I had a blue Panasonic Toot A Loop Radio, and my sister had a red one
Disk-Go case for vinyl 45's (singles/records)
the coolest record player ever - the Concert Hall! (thanks Mom & Dad!)
The Futura Light, by Visual Effects - I got mine at Spencer Gifts in the mall
sweet ride - the Raleigh Chopper! had the red, couldn't get the purple
All the kids on Hemlock Drive in North Caldwell, NJ had these
another method of transportation, better than a bicycle in some situations
The SSP King Cobra was the ultimate race car - my fantasy ride.

Big Jim and his Sports Camper - out in the woods
I was way too obsessed with the Coleco Electronic Quarterback - omg!

    I had one of those radios that I'd put in my paper sack as I delivered my newspapers. WEEO out of Wanesboro PA was the only station other than WAYZ country that we got.

      You could also wear the radio around your wrist :)

      Mine was white and back then the newsprint stained everything.
