Christmas gifts long ago....

Mr brother Tom and I often would get duplicate Christmas gifts because we were close in age and had many of the same interests.

I remember in the 1960's getting these.  It took awhile for my Dad to set them up for us, because they had to be wired in the basement, but he did. They worked great for a time until the furnace came on...and then at least mine would not work.

Found photos of these...pretty cool...
