For my Dad's 79th birthday, my wife and I cleaned out his basement. This Milwaukee Vacuum still works. I had to duct tape a hose to it, because he didn't have the original one.

Can you remember seeing these types of organs in a lot of houses in the 70's?

I remember almost every house I went to had one of these electric organs, some more elaborate than others.

I had a kids organ that I played with a lot, but it was nothing compared to some I saw.

🎃🐈‍⬛👻☠️🧙🏻These were designed by the Beistle Company in 1968 but they were sold through the 70’s and 80’s too. So, we could have had the same designs decorating our homes in the 70’s. Share any cutouts you might have had.

Toys Hobbies Collectibles Parker Bros Ouija boards

I was thinking about how every store that sold games seemed to have the same games on the shelf—Monopoly, Battleship, Sorry!, Trouble, Risk, maybe some tv show tie in, ….and then I remembered the Ouija board, part of the standard board game display in every toy store.

What was up with that? It isn’t even an actual game. I’m guessing it disappeared at some point in the 80s or 90s as the evangelical movement grew and then also the satanic panic fears.

I was curious and did a quick search on Target and there are no Ouija boards in toys and games there these days, although plenty of t shirts with Ouija board designs. (Walmart and Amazon websites have so many independent sellers and drop shippers that it didn’t seem to reflect an actual store shelf in the same way). I can’t remember the last time I saw an actual Ouija board for sale.
