Get ready to get SCHOOLED! A while ago redbenjoe gave a heads up on this cool little vintage magazine for kids published by Consumer Reports. I won it from Ebay, outbidding member and friend LASONICTRC920 by one bid! Sorry Chris Its a fun little item from 1987, and I hope you all pick up on a few good pointers from this before buying your next BOX SCHOOL IS IN SESSION

Nice! But ONLY 20x60??? According to my calculations... Im not sure if that will be a sufficient amount of space for your massive collection

Well, Pam was on the street for a while, has been sober for 25 years (yay) and is currently in therapy.

Terry didn't fair as well. :'-(

Looking at the cover photo, I'm hoping that there's a paragraph or two in there about how to avoid buying a radio so big that it needs four kids to carry it! That's just inconvenient that is.

 

[blu_fuz]

This is pretty cool. We all need to follow this.
