Know them ALL. The second pix (balls on the string - NOT the official name, which was C_ _ C _ _ _ S. They went off the marker because of the injuries from using them, and from them cracking apart in use, and causing injuries and damages. They were real beasts in terms of injuries caused!! I think I still have an Atari switch somewhere!!

Shane David.... I also had a 69 Chevelle (SS street-rod) for about 8 years, so I got to stomp that button many, many times! Which was a little more involved when I had a 4-speed in it.

I wouldn't be surprised to still find one of these in my parents basement....

I guess with the newer, metal frames, these are no longer needed (unless you use an old style (Thing)!

Those balls look like a new and improved safety version. The ones we had were cast acrylic resin and hurt like hell even if they didn't explode on you. I may still have some puka shells around somewhere...

I remember having this as a kid. Today kids have iPhones & iPads.

I also remember wanting one of these gems but it was (way) out of my parents budget:

That's what iwas thinking. They looked like glass.

Kelly, they still make those wheel deals, the kids have one sitting on the coffee table right now.

I haven't been stumped yet, but Dave almost got me. I recognized it, but it took awhile to remember what it was for.

I'm still so lost. What is the icon?

Man....I'm older than I thought I was.
I almost killed myself with the second one, and the first one, I had like a dozen of them.

I recognized all of them. Had one of those things MCS posted for a few years. Until you couldn't find the "inserts" for them anymore.

Do you remember what this was used for?

I had the Black Jack. Then got the Smash Up Derby:

The great part on those wheels was if it touched your hand while it was spinning, it would take the skin right off.

This is what we had one of those for:

I think it might actually still be in my parents' basement.
