Sir Pete, hide it immediately!!!
One night many moons ago, the unthinkable happened, the beer ran out, only a dozen bottles of Jack Daniels remained, low on suitable mixers several bottles of the above were purchased, the fallout was biblical, several members of thy great hall sailed off into the sunset in search of the fabled golden Beer glass, others fell into the sleep of everlasting doom, the remaining members assembled a war party and ransacked the local health food shop in search of herbal smoking ingredients and burned the entire premises to the ground when only tea supplements could be found, actually it was quite a fun night, but hide it anyway 😄

Back in the UK I have a 1970s Lava Lamp in my garage that my parents bought in 1977 down at Bognor Regis.
I'll post a pic when I can find it. Bear with.

I know what you mean, I've still got NHK's original wheels, with well legal tread Yokohamas on sitting stored, but there are tiny cracks in the side wall rubber that would prevent normal use...

Most of my old stuff is car related.  This is a valve spring compressor that my Dad made back in the late 50's. It works and is the only one I have ever used! No reason to replace it.  Heavy duty discharge tester.  Timing light.  Remember these things? |

I bought a 250N back in 2014 (EKO734T) some will remember from the old forum. That had the original Yoko's on it too John and they were also badly cracked around the wall. |
