What items do you recall that were once....but are no more?

The 1900 is 50 per side but all solid state - I beleive it still has the output transformers though but I wouldn't testify to that in a courtroom without verifying it.

The MC30s are 30 each and are a matched pair, purchased together in Radio City, New York in 1957 according to the receipts. The wattage doesn't add up to 80 per side though because when using the 1900 as a preamp the onboard poweramp is idle, since the MC30s use a line level input not a speaker level input. I generaly switch between using the internal power amp of the receiver in the summer, and the tube amps in the winter when the extra warmth is welcome. They do make good space heaters as well as sounding amazing. I have them normally feeding a set of Wharfdale E50 speakers with the 3/4 inch compression driver tweeters, but right now I am using a different speaker pair because one the E50s needs a recone on the woofer (age not abuse).

That makes sense.

I just played that video for my wife about two weeks ago when I heard the latest version of that commercial.
I sure do remember it

I was 6 YO at the time but when I got older I watched the Dinah Shore variety show with my family.

How about, glass Ketchup, or Catsup, bottles. When was the last time you had to or saw someone smacking the bottom to get it flowing?? Plastic bottles you just squeeze and that seems to be all that's sold anymore.

And in fact other glass bottles that used to be sold but have been replaced with plastic.

Don't use Ketchup any more so not an issue.
I do my best to avoid plastic products where I can.
My preserves still come in glass jars but the peanut butter is plastic.
