Re: electric stuff from the argos catalogue 1984

I remember wanting one of those little thin 35mm cameras for Christmas and I got bought a disc camera instead because they were new. They were rubbish! The pictures were really grainy and horrible because the negatives were so small. The disc film often got damaged too. I think mine had a hole where the light got in.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Its amazing how expensive some electronics goods were back then. I noticed a 16 inch remote control colour TV for £259.95 . That will have been a lot of money back in 1984.

I didn't know you could get those book like boxes for games tapes, the parents of my friends used to have some for their blank video tapes.

One of those Teasmaids was the same model my Gran had.

Disc cameras didn't last too long.

LOL I think everyones Gran owned a Teasmaid, I know mine did, never saw her use it though.

Loving those Hairdryers!

Does anyone still have a use for a Typewriter. I last used one at work in 1996! unbelievably things didnt really take off in the computer world until the advent of MS Windows. Even some businesses didnt get windows 95 until later, the price of computers has considerably dropped as they get more powerful, my minds boggling now on what we have to expect from the technological world in the next 10 -20 years
