I found it...but had to cheat. I now know. LOL That was a tough one for sure.

CapeCoddess 4/13/2014, 7:49 pm

I could look it up too, but I'd rather make some guesses. The first guess is an electric chair? Second guess is shock therapy treatment chair?my last guess which I can't figure out how it would be possible, is a dentist chair?are any of those correct? When do we get to find out the right answer?

Wow...where can you still find them at??

CapeCoddess 4/13/2014, 7:56 pm

okay,there's something sniggling in the back of my brain. Is it for rolling your hair. Like maybe to give your hair a waive or a permanent. Is that it?

You are making me show my age! I used to fling those 45 rpm adapters at the back of my siblings' heads! I remember we had a portable record player that had an adapter built in - you just had to pull it up and twist to lock, then you didn't have to worry about finding the missing adapters to play your 45's!

we had one of those big tube ones that slid down over the center spindle of the player. That way you could stack your 45s and have him fall down one by one

hi tech!

I have to go to bed now. Hopefully I can read the answer in the morning. Night all!

happy hi

They are staple items at the local hardware stores. Our town didn't get electricity until sometime in the '50's, and many of the houses have never had the wiring redone. Our house is relatively new on the scene, built in the 40's, so plumbing and electricity were added within only a few decades after it was built.

Yes that would work also, I had both pistols, & rifle....things that are not PC anymore.

Ours came in individual rolls, and we used to whack them with rocks as well.

A toy gun that shot round plastic disks about the size of the record inserts. My boys had them in the early 70's and 20 years later I found some way back in the basement corner cabinets.
