Products were made to last.
Not disposable, like many are today.

We had a really nice big console TV back in the 70s. I kept it. About 10 years ago, I completely gutted it and put a new flat screen inside it. I took some molding and made a frame, stained it the same color and had the look of a classic console with a new flat screen. I still have my RCA VCR on top, it's hooked up and working just fine. Also on top is my DVD player and my old Atari 2600 I got back in 1980 when I was 14 years old.

People used to own furniture given to them by their parents or grandparents pass down now people houses are filled with things they ordered from Amazon

That console TV was the heaviest piece of furniture in the house! And when it went out yes we just got a smaller TV and put on top of it.😅

My mom still has and uses Tupperware from the 70s, 80s. Those things are tough, but a couple of years ago, one of the lids cracked. She sent it in, and they sent a new one, free of charge. When I leave her house with leftovers, it'll be in anything BUT her Tupperware.
She also still has those encyclopedias from the 80"s, as we don't won't to throw them out but would happily give them away.
I also still have 3 of those Atari consoles and about 20 games. I'm not sure if they still work, but just hate to throw them out.

I still have a vcr i bought from the thrift store. It's the only way i can watch Midnight Madness cause I'm not paying $50 for a dvd version!
I was always the shoe in Monopoly. Every time I passed through i would "kick" my brother's car out of the way. Then he would pretend to run me over with the car, lol. 🤣

I still use a 40ish year old alarm clock radio - works great.

Lol! Even though I use my cellphone for my wake up alarm now, the AM/FM clock radio alarm clock I got for Christmas in 1987 is still on my end table next to the bed and still works perfectly.

Aside from my phone for internet, I still have a Retro type existence.

I loved the board games of the time. My favorites were Trouble and Sorry. I remember my dad had food tray in the living room so he could watch his favorite shows while eating. 😊 Thanks for the video and memories. 👍

I was home on leave from the Navy in 1982. Loved to stop by our local mall for an Orange Julius. I preferred the Strawberry Julius with a blended raw egg. The flavor and texture was a part of heaven. It's a shame how much our society has deteriorated.

I remember looking forward to getting the weekly TV Guide, which most people subscribed to. It was fun to read the show synopsis and to read the celebrity stories. And doing the crossword puzzle that was inside the back cover.

I remember the boom boxes that had a little black and white tv screen. You could use the radio antenna to pick up local stations.

Thanks Rhetty for making Saturday mornings Great Again!

Oh my god! I remember that Tupperware.

We absolutely put the new, smaller T.V. on top off the old huge furniture T.V. LOL. Great Episode! 1980's 🤘🏻👍🏻🇺🇲

We had a big console record player, which probably was more of a 70s thing, but then sometime in the mid or late 80s, we got one of those big stereos systems that had a record player, dual cassette player, and a cd player and two huge speakers.

Rhetty for History is the Saturday morning cartoons of today.
Thanks Rhetty!

[AnitaLonski]

The 80s were so much fun, I miss the console TVs from back in the day. Thanks Rhetty for great video

[Lone-wolf-]

Thanks Rhetty! This was the decade I grew up in. I remember all these items. My parents didn't get rid of their old TV/living room piece until the mid-90s.
And TV trays were essential 😂
