Now was that Shoney's, Manner's, or Bob's?  

 

I remember getting a free hamburger as a "reward" for picking up litter with the scouts (mom said it was a ploy to get the parents in to spend .. she taught me early on consumer scams), mom & dad had a cup of coffee & watched me eat my free "Big Boy" hamburger which was wafer thin (please present coupon before ordering).  I remember the conversation there too, my aunt (who didn't have her drivers license yet), bought a brand new car, & I had to guess what it was.

I noticed that too.  I'm going from my memory that was about 1972 or '73, 7 cents being a bigger deal then.

 

I'm hoping the "Birthday Cake"  Disney Cereal, I picked up on clearance last month ... (big box for $1!)  has a similar flavor.

I was thinking of Ralph Kramden.

 

I don't know why because when I think about it I don't think bus drivers (in my lifetime) used these change counters.

I hate it when I click to give a "Thumbs Up!" and then I see the count go down by one. That means that at some time previous I clicked a "Thumbs Up!" and I just knocked it down! Then I have to click again to fix.

It is called an electron tube that were used in older radios and TV's.

Vacuum tube as they are under vacuum.   Remember going to the tube tester at the corner appliance repair shop with dad, later it was Olson's, Lafayette  & Radio Shack.

Being a Ham (or former Ham), Tubes are still occasionally desired. 

 

Edit, the FCC arm of the fedzilla has made renewing licensing a total debacle if you aren't using online payment methods now.
