For Old School Gents - SEARS Christmas Catalog-1979

[DaveDQ]

Wow..thanks so much for posting this! I'm so damn sentimental and this is right up may alley. I had the "digital diamond" baseball game. I can't even believe it's there. Seriously, thanks so much for this. Now I need to see if the go-karts are in there. I would sit for long periods of time day dreaming about getting a go-kart from those catalogs.

I know...lol

My parents had a console TV that had the TV in the middle, speakers on the left and right and then a record player on the top left side and a am/fm radio on the top right. The thing weighed a ton. I need to see if I can find a picture of it.

That is so awesome.

I remember going to my uncles and he had the original Pong. I would play that for hours as a kid. Then came Commodore 64 and Coleco and I was hooked ever since!

I miss console TVs. One of these days I'm gonna build a console and put it around an HD set, with speakers on both sides inside the console. I did most of my gaming before XBox 360 on console TVs and watched 90% of my TV growing up on a console. I love the look of them.

That would be one to see. I hope you get a chance to do it.

Wow, that was awesome... Christmas was so awesome when we were younger...

BTW, my favorite section in there was the Electronic Space Toys, lol.
