[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 444533, member: 21536"] Hangeye, I think you hit the nail right on the head. There were the Daisy guys and the Benjamin guys. The Benjamins had a kind of hinged pump to cock the BB gun. We had to prop the Daisy's against our knee cause we couldn't cock it without some leverage (actually the real reason may have been to avoid accidentally pulling the trigger before the lever was back down). I remember using a clothespin to put playing cards in the spokes. We also used to take short sections of old leather belts and cut a slot & tab so we could wrap them loosely around the wheel hubs. That way they stayed shiny. I remember the first color TVs. They were a kind of washed out blue/orange coloration and we thought they kind of sucked. 30 years from now the new old folks will be talking about remembering the first 48" plasma screen TVs and how they cost $10K. Haha. [/QUOTE]
