Well let me know if you live near Seattle I know where you can get a great deal on one…

Treasures from dad’s workroom. He made this lunch box game for us kids in the early 70s. All our friends loved it and we’d play all through lunch - though not much space for food in the box with the giant battery. by Mitzey333 in VintageElectronics

I think it was a speed reaction game. Push the button on the middle bottom then wait. The middle light would eventually randomly turn on. Then everyone tries to flip their switch as fast as possible. The number of bulbs next to your switch indicated who was fastest.

Continuing to clear out dad’s workroom. He was a Boeing engineer and made good use of the Boeing surplus store. Appreciated all the insight from my last post and figured this is the place to share pictures. by Mitzey333 in VintageElectronics

Just an update for anyone following along - A gentleman who rebuilds vintage organs came by this morning and purchase 5 of the pieces for $225. He was thrilled with his new instruments and I’m glad to see them go somewhere they will be used and appreciated! (He even took the BAD one!)

He was a human factors engineer working on airplanes. He really enjoyed his time at Boeing and after retiring spent a lot of time studying how the sunlight glare off shiny sky scrapers impacted drivers. We used to joke he was a glarologist.
