Jaws 1975 (Ideal)

The players put all the junk pieces in the shark's mouth. The weight of the pieces keeps the mouth open. Using a gaff hook, each player then attempts to remove a junk piece from the shark's opened mouth. The first player to successfully remove four junk pieces wins. However, if a player takes a wrong move, the shark's mouth will snap shut. If only two players are playing, the final player to successfully remove five junk pieces wins

Very sort after game this never had one, but remember it and fetching good prices on flee bay.

Another Jaws toy from 1976 had one on these always in the bath with me when i was young, again fetching silly money.

I loved my Friscodisco record player! The only bad thing about it was it needed quite a few batteries.

Great find here from 1978 WOW! when disco was taking off i think if they had put a mains plug on it, it would of sold lot more.

This was my first induction to vinyl the Fidelity HF42 in red it came out in 1975ish but was black with wood effect and they spiced it up with colors i had mine around 1980 second hand of course, i would be 7 years old and remember taken it around this girls house and all we played was runaround sue by racey all night.

Remember that, but never had one. Seen a cheapo rip off china crap one in B & M at xmas and thought of this had a little smile on my face.

Yeah, I was gonna say there are some crap copies about these days.

 

 

Some nice Raleigh bikes here! I posted two Raleigh Burner pics as I had both colours at one time or another.

Iv just got rid of my bmx's had original survivor Night Burner and Gold Burner. Like the one's below.  The Gold Burner i was doing up but was costing to much as iv also got a space blue original survivor MK2 Chopper.

Here's my Chopper am sorting but not doing much to her as she is totally original If you can make it out under that dump ground in the house well we have work done.  Also i have some old retro ever ready lights to go on when finish.  Plus also that retro police siren.
