As long as you pulled down a fresh section of it you were fine. It isn't like the cloth circled back around on them.

Unless it was at the end of the roll. Then everyone used that section until it was replaced.

Or did the same thing as we do at the places with the blow driers... dried our hands on our pants.

Both of these always seemed to be in gas stations restrooms that were last cleaned in the 1950's. The one good thing is the gas station usually also had one of these:

I have a cat that always hits the power button. Even with the remote facing the couch. Kind of impressive actually.

We have the dog version of your cat.

If you need hoodies, shirts, ponchos, or tote bags themed on audio cassettes, you can have that.

They also have ironic video cassette-themed clothing. VHS returning as a hipster release format would be very strange.

so... all y'all might not find this as "funny" per se as I did, but I just happened to be perusing the 1961 Lafayette Radio Electronics catalog*, and I espied this odd little speaker atavism.

My knee-jerk response was ooh, a Jensen triaxial precursor** but the text mentions mechanical crossovers at 5000 Hz. That sounds like whizzers or Altec "Biflex" style dual compliance cones. So... just what is going on with the LRE SK-75, eh?
I am now really curious!

** Of course Jensen was making "triaxials" before even 1961, but in this particular case, I am referring to the famous/infamous three way Jensen 6 x 9 drivers that owned part of the 1970s car audio industry.

I remember the Jensen Tri-Axial in cars. Sounded fantastic for the time. Thanks for the vignette.
