Macro Monday: #BackInTheDay
7DWF, Monday: Anything Goes Theme
Width: 5 cm / 1,9 inches
Went to the German Museum of Technology to find something that has been outdated by technological evolution (other than my old calculator, some old tubes from my headphone amplifier or old quills I have at home). This is the pick-up head of an "Odeon Favorit" gramophone built in the late 1930s, designed exclusively for playing shellac records. In another section of the museum I found a box of (even older, ca. 1910) shellac needles which had to be changed after each play, because worn steel needles would otherwise damage the grooves of a shellac record. Those needles came in the varieties of "soft", "medium", "loud", "very loud" and "extra loud". Should you ever visit Berlin one day and the weather then happens to be as ghastly as it was yesterday, I can highly recommend a visit to this museum ;-) .
A Happy Easter Macro Monday, dear Flickr friends ;-)
Das gruselige Wetter gestern war ein willkommener Anlass, mal wieder das Deutsche Technikmuseum in Kreuzberg zu besuchen. Unter anderem wurde ich dort auch im Kleinen für das heutige MM-Thema "Back in the Day" fündig. Dies ist der Tonabnehmer eines "Odeon Favorit" Grammofons, gebaut Ende der 1930er-Jahre von der Carl Lindström AG und ausschließlich zum Abspielen von Schellack-Schallplatten bestimmt. In einem anderen Bereich des Museums fand ich außerdem eine Schachtel mit Wechselnadeln für noch ältere Grammofone (ca. 1910). Es wurde empfohlen, die Nadel nach jedem Abspielen auszutauschen, da eine abgenutzte Nadel sonst die Rillen der Platte beschädigen könnte. Diese Nadeln gab es in den Varianten "leise", "mittel", "laut", "sehr laut" und "extra laut". Wenn Ihr mal in Berlin seid und das Wetter so mies sein sollte, wie es gestern war, kann ich einen Besuch des Technikmuseums nur empfehlen. Nicht nur einen Besuch der Haupthäuser, sonden auch der Gebäude in der Ladestraße ;-) .
Ich wünsche Euch einen sonnigen Ostermontag und eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde ;-)

you would do before crawling into bed was set the alarm and wind it up.
A couple years ago, a friend of mine was asked to assemble a band for certain event, and I was the guitar guy. It was assumed, I suppose, that the band would take care of all the details of the music. And boy, was this a band. I know it sounds suspicious, coming from a member of the band, but this was as hot as they come.
But when it all came to pass, the awesomely hot band simply served as the backup band for a "lead singer" as it were. This was a surreal juxtaposition of talent and musical styles. An experimentation in musical opposites, if you will.
When it was all said and done, a VIP who was in the audience said to me, "that was like watching a Maserati drive in a parking lot. I responded, "it hurts my motor to go so slow."
Sunday morning when I saw this 'vette cruise into the parking garage and park facing this block wall, I remembered that comparison and chuckled to myself.
Macro photograph of a vintage push in tin opener chomping a modern pull top tin can, the vintage tin opener is a Squire and Sons make, the Squire dislikes modern designs and recons this type will never catch on, and he want's it off his land!!!!
Just a little humour!
It was hard to open a tin can years ago, dangerous and awkward with those old push in tin openers.
Now it's so easy to open a tin can, just pull back the ring and pull up nice, easy and safe too, much better I believe.
Happy Macro Mondays .... Everyone ... Happy Easter too!!

Submitted for Macro Mondays on the theme "Back in the Day".
This manual typewriter was bought in 1984, and was probably close to the end of its generation when dot matrix printers became commercially popular. It was never used again after 1984.

Macro Mondays theme "Back In The Day"
For this week theme, “Back In The Day”, the only thing I could think of was the Canadian one cent (also called penny). This currency was discontinued in May 2012, date of the last production. One of the reason was that the production cost was higher than the currency value. Actually 1.6 cent per penny produced. If you want my two cents, this was a good decision!
A Canadian penny measures 0.75” in diameter.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

Elsewhere known as the john, the shanty, the shack, the throne, the shed, the earth closet, the relief office—it was the humble outhouse. The little buildings “out back” were as important as any building built before indoor plumbing. This was the building you located as soon as possible when you came to visit.
As outhouses were eventually replaced with indoor plumbing and fell into disuse, they became treasure troves for those willing to explore the old privy pits. Outhouses were also domestic disposal sites for old bottles, crockery and dishes.
So believe it or not, they still yield historic pieces of value.
You can view "large".....but CAUTION: it might get a bit smelly. ;-)
Thank Y'all for viewing this small piece of History.
Commentary is welcome.....but keep it clean....
Have a great Sunday !
Of old things that pass.
The Voigtländer roots were founded in Vienna in 1756, by Johann Christoph Voigtländer. Voigtländer produced mathematical instruments, precision mechanical products, optical instruments, including optical measuring instruments and opera glasses, and is the oldest name in cameras. (Wikipedia)
This camera was released round 1911.

Il castello di Acaya, si trova a pochi chilometri dalla costa adriatica del Salento, non molto distante da Lecce, di cui Acaya è una frazione. Il castello sorge nel luogo dove sorgeva il piccolo insediamento medievale di Segine, di proprietà dei dell'Acaya, centro che nel 1535 mutò nome in Acaya, proprio dal nome della famiglia baronale.
The castle of Acaya is located a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast of Salento, not far from Lecce, of which Acaya is a hamlet. The castle rises in the place where the small Medieval settlement of Agenas, owned by the Acaya, was established, which in 1535 changed its name to Acaya, right from the name of the Baronite family.

Finally disued since 2003 and replcaed by the Metrocard, this is an old NY City subway token that I still have in my possession.
Rabattmarken sind ein Zeugnis vergangener Zeiten. Ich kann mich dunkel dran erinnern, daß zuhause von verschiedensten Läden Rabattheftchen und die zugehörigen Marken in einer Schublade gesammelt wurden. Es war immer toll, wenn ich mal einen ganzen Streifen anlecken und einkleben durfte. Rabattmarken verschwanden ebenso wie Tante Emma Läden in den 70ern.
Trading Stamps
These stamps from Edeka Kiel were valid until 31st March 1963. Trading stamps and the accompanying booklets vanished during the seventies.

With the advent of LED the days of the old filament type bulb are long gone. Difficult to now find them in the shops.

The analog may not be dead and gone, but the company and even the state that produced this specimen is long gone.
P.S. The dust is authentic please do not attempt to adjust the picture. ;-)
Wrist watches and cell phones have all but replaced the old fashioned pocket watch chained inside your jacket pocket.

Milk in glass bottles went the way of the dinosaurs many moons ago (well, there was no comet, just 'better' plastic containers). I kept one all these years out of nostalgia.

I was going to put a photo of part of a lichen covered old wooden telephone pole but they are not totally extinct yet (it's on my photostream before this shot)

Way back when, this type of carbide lamp was used by miners. Calcium carbide gravel was put into the lower section, and water into the upper. The lever regulated the flow of the drips. Water on the carbide produced acetylene gas, which made its way out the nozzle in the center of the reflector. This one has an igniter built into the reflector for easy lighting.
While typically not used anymore for mining, these days it's retro cool for cavers to track down an old one and get it refurbed to work even better than it did... back in the day.

I used it a lot during the university years. Then I started working in a software house with computers.
