Thread: No Longer Available.

Old school valves (tubes to our US friends), the current production ones just ain't as good, and the good NOS ones are hitting silly prices

in fact, virtually all good guitar gear from the 60's and 70's. they just don't make them the same.

Barbers that give real straight razor shaves.

SRD Bulgarian Rose. Thankfully I have several more pucks until I'm out. Also, comedy from Eddie Murphy is no longer available.

Seven More of the "No Longer Availables":

1. Fitch Shampoo. Was at one time the best sellling men's shampoo in the states.

2. Yazoo Lawn Mowers. The big red walk behind mowers with the rear bicycle type tires.

3. Colt Agent revolvers. The best snub nose .38 Special revolver ever made IMO.

4. Weyenberg Masagic Shoes. They stopped making these in the early 1970's. I once worked in the retail business and was on my feet continually. An old man in the business introduced me to this brand. They were great.

5. MacGregor Drizzler Golf Jacket. A comfortable little waist length jacket. I found one which was new old stock a few years ago. My Dad and my Uncles were fond of this jacket.

6. Phillip Morris non filter cigarettes. I have not had a cigarette in 16 months, but if I could get a pack of these, I would be tempted to light one up.

7. Old Stagg Bourbon Whiskey. At one time the best selling bourbon in America. Was the house bourbon in clubs on military bases.

If you remember these, you are telling your age!

2. Real trucks like what they produced from the 50-80s those trucks were simple to work on and they could take a beaten, i have a 84 f250 that hit a deer by its pervious owner nad all it has is a small dent in it from that, now try that with one of those computer on wheels they sell now. You have to be a nasa scientist to work under the hood on todays cars.

I get what your saying about the cars. I have a 2010 Lexus. It has a push button starter. Well, my keyless entry remote battery is dying. The car won't start if it's not present. I was late for work trying to get the car to sense the remote.

OLD STUFF IS JUST BETTER

There.. I said it.. except possibly for any fashion from the 80's

Speaking of cars, a Ford Falcon with a 6 cylinder engine and a standard transmission. You couldn't kill 'em and they were a breeze to work on.

i learned to drive in a 60 or 61 falcon. my old man always bought plain jane blue 4 door sedans. the only thing special about this car was the spotlight he had mounted on the driver's side. i was out with my mother while still on my permit and the muffler fell off and i had a ball downshifting into turns instead of braking. the exhaust noise was highly gratifying. he was replacing the water pump once and a bolt broke off in the block and that's where i learned what extractors and taps were for. he even used to strip the head off to lap the valves.

the djarums are now made with cigar tobacco and are wrapped with tobacco.. turning them from cigarettes into cigarillos was some type of loophole.. but now they taste horrible and burn like the dickens going down.

Rollerblading wristguards made by the company PAWN.

They were leather fingerless gloves with a plastic reinforcement plate on the back and Kevlar cushions on the inside. They cost me 120 dutch guilders back then....which is now similar to costing €80 (inflation counted as well).

That's a lot of money for a 17 year old rollerblader. They fell out of my backpack one day (still don't know how...maybe they got stolen) and I haven't been able to find them again. Company went defunct over 10 years ago.
