    Fantastic.

    I have one myself and when I hear that squeal when it spins I am absolutely transported back in time.

    Hope you enjoy your spinner rack as much as I do mine.

      Wonderful! I want a half size one. A small one that would support one row of books, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

          Nice! I lucked upon one a couple years before and even though I really don't have the room for it in my office, I have it crammed in there anyway. And oh, that squeal when you turn it!

            They are cool to own. I've had two of them in my time. I got one from the local Convenient Food Mart that was going out of business and it lasted me several years before it up and died. Then I got one from a fellow collector and I've still got it hibernating in my Mom's garage, ready to spring into squeally action should I ever find the room for it. They truly are little time machines...
            sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

              I have a couple. My wife's niece closed down her store, and I got to pick out some. Love them.

                      Frank Sinatra once said that his all-time favorite birthday gift was a meal at McDonalds -- yes, McDonalds! Much later in his life, his friends surprised him on his birthday by blind-folding him and taking him to a McDonalds. I guess that would make sense! What else do you get someone who already had everything in the world?
