Oldsmobile Cutlass' should not of gone out of production!

It happened a while ago!

 

Did you also hear that Kennedy has been shot?

 

Cool Story Bro! :P

 

The market moved on, in ways GM didn't understand. The Cutlass was the largest victim.

 

I heard that j.r.Ewing got shot, but are you sure about Kennedy?

 

man, did I have the strangest dream last night....

 

I heard about something called a VCR and it watches TV for you when you can't. BLACK MAGIC!!!

 

Oldsmobile should not have gone out of production...

 

Like he said, what a mistake!

 

Dude...my Dad just bought a Betamax...It rocks.

 

And what were YOU taking as a kid to get flashbacks, man??????

 

 

"Oh, Man! The Doobie Brothers broke up!
... What year was that?"*

* a movie quote - guess which one.

Oldsmobile Cutlass is no more? When did this happen?? Say it aint so!

 

Romancing the Stone of course. Great movie BTW.

 

i was into 3 wheelers and they stopped making them, i liked VCRs and they stopped making them, i am into Oldsmobiles and they stopped making them... i had better quit liking stuff.

 

Please tell me you're gay. Otherwise it could be the end of humanity!

(Only meant for humor in the context of the above quote. No offense to anyone intended.)

 

Offensive or not it made me laugh!

 

lol, not gay. maybe the curse is over.

 

Vacuum tubes are still in production!

 

Don't do that! Instead, start liking things we want to get rid of, like President Obama!

 

LOL!!! You guys crack me up!!!!!!!

 

I went to 7-11 last night to test my vacuum tubes and the tester was gone.

I also heard the Beatles are going to breakup.

 

"Benson... nobody does the robot anymore."

 

WOW! that is a tough one. do i take one for the team and like Obummer to get rid of him? i don't know if i could do it.

 

No it isn't. It just moved to the other side of the store!

 

Guess I went to the wrong 7-11. They have the Slurpee machine where the tube tester used to be.

You were quick on this one.

 

Actually, those old in-store tube testers were more commonly found in drug stores than in convenience stores. That's where the one in this photo was located.

I actually cropped down a photo to show just the tube tester. Here's the entire photo. The tester is at the lower left.

 

As much tube equipment as I have, I'd like to have me one. At least one of the plant instrument techs is into tube and has one, and will test my toobs.

I kinda miss drugstores like that. I grow weary of corporate conformity.

Which incidentally is probably why I cannot stand anything GM builds now. Just last night watched a young family pile into their new Escalade after eating at Chick-Fil-A, and I thought, why the hell should anyone fork over Cadillac money for what is essentially a Chevrolet truck?

I guess the same thing happened to the Cutlass. Even in its last iteration, it wasn't a terribly bad car, just generic and bland. Maybe GM should now stand for "Generic Motors"? since everything they make is essentially identical in each carline?

 

Get an Eico tube tester. I've got a 666 that I got essentially unused from an educational program that had "moved on" to modern circuitry, and I've passed up a few more at flea markets over the years. You can find them on eBay as well, though not as cheaply.

I believe that the 666 and 667 are the best, but the 667 has a few fewer sockets than the 666.

Isn't that Bactine antiseptic stuff on the top shelf in that picture?? I don't think they even make that anymore. Didn't they find out after all the years that it was harmful or not good to use or something, and they did away with it?

Larry asked me the other night if I want one of those Kindles or electronic book things - whatever they're called - and I told him NO! I love to read, but I also love to HOLD a book while doing it, lol!!! Pretty soon kids won't even know what a book is! It's all gonna be electronic.

 

Lots of good feedback. We need the OP to weigh in.

 

Must be a Fox news junkie.

 

There has got to be a better way to get rid of him than that! Don't know if I could pull it off.

 

CHECK IT OUT!! Mom and Dad just went downtown to buy a new car. This is what they're getting!! I can hardly wait to smell it

Lol, I think it is. I remember that stuff... harmful? Nah.. I used it and I turned out fine..

 

Yes, I'd like to see him connect the demise of the Cutlass with tube testers!

 

"I miss 8 track tapes"

Which show was that from

 

I think it was the other way around - I seem to recall that there were tube testers in Radio Shack (and you could get tubes there, too!) when they were selling Cutlasses, and then when they stopped selling Cutlasses, the tube testers were GONE!

Coincidence?

Who's the guy with the white sack on his head??
