I’m so old I remember…

When gas was less than one dollar per gallon.

As a kid I remember price wars at gas stations, where gas was like 60 cents/gal and my parents used to complain. Or in my state odd/even days according to license plate when you can get gas, and there was a limit to like 8 gallons.

Imagination is still better.

Although I do like to get a photo and build a fantasy round it.

I’m so old I remember turning…winding (???) -Whatever the word - the dial on the camera to advance the film when you took a picture. AND the square flash bulbs that attached to the top of the camera.

In the late 70s early 80s, porn was basically on magazines or movies. I think that’s like 8 mm. Anyway, you would have the movie on a little real, feed it through and crank the handles and watch the porn. No sound.

 

[1DarkNightOwl]

I see it now.

We had a 16mm projector for video and reel-reel for audio to watch movies.

West Coast Video was better. They had a porn section - the little red room in the back.

I don't remember this DVDs but I do remember the milkman. You would wash the bottles and return them.

We still have this with some independent shops.

I'm so old I remember this is a cutting station for 8mm or super-8 films to edit. The small installation on the "cutting table" in the middle was to cut and glue snippets. On the two arms left and right you had the film-rolls, you could reel forth or back, manually. You wouldn't want to watch a film on that screen, porn or not, no proper viewing speed and the picture quality was lousy
