At 11:30 is a binnacle which is a waist-high case or stand on the deck of a ship,generally mounted in front of the helmsman, in which navigational instruments are placed for easy and quick reference as well as to protect the delicate instruments. Its traditional purpose was to hold the ship's magnetic compass, mounted in gimbals to keep it level while the ship pitched and rolled
The cool thing to do with all of those old collectible phones, especially the ones with cartoon characters, is to buy them and rig them up as a household intercom system. I looked it up before. You can rig them where you can pick up a phone and dial up a specific room in the house. No more yelling through the house to your kids or significant other.
You ain't kidding, I'm on the east coast in south, and some of the flea markets here you are going across mud hole to get to get to what looks like a pig pin!, and others the booths/storage lockers whatever want to call them are so junked up, it would take you weeks to find something lol!
@@CommodoreFan64 😂😂😂 Yep ..and don't forget the string of over-the-top stinking Port-o-johns you have to muddle through to get to the good stuff in back!!! 😂😂😂
I laughed when you talked about the slide shows in class where you advanced every time there was an audible beep and there was always some kid who figured out how to make that beep which always caused whoever was progressing the slides/filmstrips to get out of whack with what was on the tape/record. Nothing like sitting in a darkened classroom where everyone was already messing around and you're still listening to some narrator drone on about whatever and the teacher is attempting to figure out what happened. Hilarity ensued....
I never really buy anything at flea markets, but they’re always fun to look at. Great video as always.Your videos are always what I look forward to on Fridays after work.
Your videos are really appreciated. I really enjoy a lot of the dead malls or malls that are slow, and some thriving but still have the 70's/80's architecture. I grew up going to malls during the 70's and 80's. The old style of floors, decor, old arcades, etc. bring back some really interesting memories. I used to even do some game level design of dead malls using some of the old style architecture and design of the 70's-80's, including the style of floors from that era. You appreciate some of the finer aspects of the malls of older eras that are now being redeveloped into other things or being torn down. Your channel name is so fitting and made me interested the first moment I noticed your videos months ago. So, please keep up the great work.
Omg I had some of those toy/doll foods from 13:43. There was a commerical brand in the 90s that sold these. They even made furniture. They complemented the barbie dolls and were totally piggybacking them lol
In my estate sale hunting, I had found a mint 1950s Sunbeam waffle iron in the box with all documentation and parts bought originally from Higbee's in Downtown Cleveland.
I live in the DFW Area and the local flea market here is Trader's Village. Me and my husband went there one time and saw a lot of great stuff but didn't buy anything. As for what was at the Rose Bowl Flea Market, I smiled when I saw all the classic Barbie Dolls, at 41 years old. I still love Barbie Dolls and would collect them, except the apt that my husband and I live in doesn't have any room. I also flipped out when I saw the Monchichhis. My husband was "Oh God, those things were ugly", LOL. I always thought they were cute in a quirky way and wanted to get one when I was a kid. It was also great to see those old telephones of Mickey Mouse, Snoopy and Winnie the Pooh. It is kind of sad that you don't see whimsical phones like that anymore all because nowadays everyone has a cell phone (except those older people who still have landlines). However, I did cringe when I saw old furniture from the 80s and 90s, just who in the world would buy that. Well, someone would. Definitely enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing more.
Wow, I thought it had been going on for longer, but it just celebrated its 50th anniversary last November 11, 2018. I must have gone there in the early 80's. I still remember being torn between a Yardbirds with Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck concert poster and the 'Dancing Avocado" Led Zeppelin poster, I chose the Yardbirds and forever wish I had bought both. A must go!!!
Awesome stuff. I love going to flea markets since you never know what you'll find. Plus, flea markets are the only local place I've reliably found UMD videos for sale, so I'm happy to go to them and find some I need.
As always another outstanding video. Those toys brought back a lot of memories. My sister had one of those Sears all in stereos in her room. I got it later as a hand me down when she went away to college. We also had those round fabric type chairs, we would sit in them and spin around making ourselves dizzy. Great memories.
Goodness those first Few tables Brought back Soo many memories I had some amazing toys back than!! I have to go find that Picture your wife wasn’t so fond of! Lmao That’s GOLD!
This video brings back memories, I grew up in Pasadena and we would go to the flea market every so often, so I am glad to see that it is still going strong. Glad were not there to see that Kermit the Frog phone, my wife would have wanted it no matter how overpriced it was.
Awesome overload all over the place (what's with all the _Mazinger_ ?)! The problem with flea-markets now though is that everyone has access to the internet and they non-objectively use various price charts causing many vendors to ask far too much for their wares, and besides the great instant gratification you could potentially get a lot of those collectables much cheaper online. Kind of ironic considering the roles are flipped from how it used to be. Very cool, thanks!
Hi new subscriber here. On frame 10:28 those two funny looking chairs remind me something The Golden girls would have in their Dade county, Florida home.
Enjoyed seeing the boomboxes and old radios. I would have probably bought that Japanese transistor radio if I was there as I really liked it. A lot of younger people around the vintage clothing stalls, it seems anything vintage is very popular these days. Hope to see more videos like this, great upload :)
definitely dug the videogame stuff and retro toys! (and I HAD issue 65 of EGM, I'll never forget how massive some of those issues got I swear that one had to be at least 400 pages! granted a lot of it was ads but still for about five bucks it was a pretty sweet deal back then!!) but I can definitely appreciate a lot of the other stuff here too like the giant propeller. 15:37 I do believe that's kamen rider though I'm not sure which version... probably the series we got over here I'd guess.
The old telephone was actually a Johnson CB radio with a telephone handset. Big bucks back in the day. The piece of "testing equipment" next to the video game magazines is actually a short wave diathermy machine, probably from the 60's. That tall thing with the two balls on each side is a ship's binnacle. It contains a gimballed magnetic compass at the top with some adjusters below the brass cover at the top. Those balls are quadrantal correctors They are used to adjust the reading of the compass from the port and starboard sides of the ship. They are cool old pieces, but you'd better have a couple strong guys to move one.
I live down the street from the Rosebowl and I STILL haven't gone to the flea market! I need to rectify that. We were having a bit of a heatwave (though August is more like what you experienced)
Your narration, cadence and voice reminds me so much of the original 1960's Endless Summer movie, which is a huge compliment. Just found your channel. Subbed and bell'd instantly.
At the booth starting at around 16:33, if you look pretty close, there’s a vintage Craig personal cassette stereo system- in fact, I actually used to have the same exact model as the one in this video! I actually bought mine on eBay over a year ago for around $15, but sadly I no longer have it because I accidentally dropped it and it broke........ still, I really wish we had a flea market like that one much closer to Garner, North Carolina!!!!
Those glass door knobs look to be vaseline glass, which glow under blacklight. I've always wanted to install those on a door with a black light LED mounted behind the glass so the knob would glow
9:00 I grew up reading those video game magazines from the 90's too, I was gifted some old 80's car magazines and they were almost completely black and white. Color magazines apparently weren't that common until the 90's?
Love these kind of markets! Those moon landing newspapers are super fake though!! Be careful not to get scammed! I love the Ghostbuster figures, I remember my brother has them all when we were kids!
7:58 looks like an old thermocouple interface and amplifier from Leeds and Northrup from the labelling on the knobs. Basically for temperature measurements. Would have been neat to buy it and see if it still worked.
the Kermit the Frog phone is from 1983. it was manufactured by the American Telecommunications Corporation. There was supposed to be a matching art deco Miss Piggy phone but if was never produced which is a shame cuz it looked hella awesome
Right at the end by the muppets plushies, I saw an orange rainbow brite sprite! I would have loved to have been there. Find some quality ponies and care bears
Seeing that propeller- reminds me of when my drunk dad attached a propoller very similar to the one you saw to the front of our garage. On main street, in the middle of town. My mom was mortified. It only stayed up for a month or so. Thanks for unlocking that memory. 😂 Edit.. i dont know how to spell propeller.
That was a GTE Mobiltel control head from a MTS/IMTS Mobile Telephone. Think of Charlie's Angels from the 1970's, with their car phone. It was more radio than phone, and pre-dates the cell phones of today. Are there any phone phreaks out there? ;)
@@CommodoreFan64 Ah, the days of the blue box. In the late 1980's, when I was in high school, I built a linemen's test set out of parts from Radio Shack (beige box), so I could talk with my girlfriend on the neighbor's line. It wasn't a pretty contraption, but it worked. I guess I pulled a Green Acres, without Arnold the pig!
@@blaqqxicana6666 I love her! It's so crazy if you ever look up movie props or wardrobe, there are actually many pieces that were saved. In my awkward teen years, she was such a beacon of utter coolness! I secretly tried to make some of her outfits but I never showed them to anybody lol
Really cool to see something different other than the depressing ghostly stores and malls. I wonder with how busy this looks and how empty malls looks what your (and other since its an year now) thoughts where on the future of stores and shopping? Will the swap-meet be one of the last surviving places people come together to buy and sell?
Holy cow old Mattel Monchhichi toys. Good God! I remember those, but I could swear the price tag on the one was from KB Toys. Do you remember what the original price was? 🆒️ Video Erik! 👍
Dude, I have that Fatal Fury movie!! I saw it on SciFi channel back in the 90's (they showed Anime at a certain time, but I didn't really like it except this and bought it later on). It's a really cool movie even though I'm not a huge fan of the genre. It's totally worth checking out.
Awesome! Everyone should stop what they're doing and rewatch Reboot!! I keep the entire series in a folder on my desktop, anytime is a good time for reboot!!
Hey bro you should take a look at the walmart at wetmore and 1st ave in tucson Az it's old school back from the early 90s and can you please find out what ever happened to the fish they used to have I've been trying to find our since the early 2000 back in douglas az
You should go to Frank & Son collectables huge warehouse and do a report if you haven't done so yet! it's an amazing gene open every Wednesday and Saturday!!!
Do they charge admission to the flea market? Here in SC we pay (bribe) the greyhound drivers to stop at our flea market and its free entry its not far off the interstate

That had to be the neatest most cleanest and most organized Swap Meet I've ever seen!!! I need to get there!! 😲

Yes! You're the perfect host to take us to the flea market. Thanks 😃
I laughed when you talked about the slide shows in class where you advanced every time there was an audible beep and there was always some kid who figured out how to make that beep which always caused whoever was progressing the slides/filmstrips to get out of whack with what was on the tape/record. Nothing like sitting in a darkened classroom where everyone was already messing around and you're still listening to some narrator drone on about whatever and the teacher is attempting to figure out what happened.

I'm friends with the guy who runs that first toy booth! Really nice guy.

Wow, you should make flea market video's series. Many reseller make it, but yours is different. Really enjoy to watch this
I would not not mind more, long as he does not turn into Pat the SJW Punk!

Always a fun, great time.

Oh wow, I remember those car happy meal toys!
Aww man, this is a treasure trove of great stuff, i would have gone broke there, lol. Especially with the video games and action figures. Great video.
Some of those toy robots were from Shogun Warriors, and they can be rather expensive in good condition. I wish I had a flea market like this near me.
I love the alien dude.👽👽Big fan of your channel, this is my favorite video!👍🏻
5:41....I think I remember seeing that painting of that lady in Night At The Roxbury...... X-D

The brass and wood thing is a ships binnacle. They are magnetically corrected housing for a ship compass.

That van at 5:03 is painted a shade of yellow called Harvest Gold, not Avacado Green.
I needed this, particular after what happened in Japan, Yesterday. Another amazing video, Erik. Keep up the great work.

The anime at a bit 15:30 - I think it's Big Bad Beetleborgs.
15:30 Robot toys are Gundamwing.
I haven';t been to one in ages but flea markets are just the best.
The brass and wood is a ship compass.
Happy Friday my friend. Right on time. Hold on while a grab a beer.
Wow man I would love to go to this.. soooo many items I saw wow
Holy cow old Mattel Monchhichi toys. Good God! I remember those, but I could swear the price tag on the one was from KB Toys. Do you remember what the original price was? 🆒️ Video Erik! 👍
I can't wait to have my own place and fill it with all the gaudiest looking furniture i can find
Omg I woulda so grabbed that snoopy phone! 😭
EGM was the best, and $5 for a good copy (especially any of the Fall issues which got huge) is fair.
I shook my head at that SW pun.
What a wonderful vidéo
At 11:30 that is an old cannon with cannon balls

How about a Swap Meet? There are several in San Diego worth checking out, primarily Kobey's.
The Fatal Fury series of Anime movies are some of my favorites!
2:50 - I think they maybe Toby Jugs
My cousins live not far from there I would like to go visit them again
DUDE WHAT WAS IN THOSE TORTS!!! GO IN CLOSER ON THE FOOD NEXT TIME!!! Love to see what they offer !!!

From what I've seen, it seems like flea markets are great places to get NES games

Yesssss spice girls toys! My fave
I saw a Mego Captain America above the Ghostbusters.

You did a video with Ian, this demanded Pat Contri. Maybe in San Diego someday...
Lol funny to see a kamen rider toy in california. I forgot which one tho, there are a lot of them
EXO Squad. Loved the toys, but I had no idea that cartoon was that damn good.
Aaron Wilkins ... It was what Starship Troopers was supposed to be. Awesome if you are a fan of Heinlein.
i want that couch at 10:52 so bad
Was there any hot-wheels and model cars.around there.
I know I'm late, but those are not tortas haha they are pambazos which are similar but they only have two ingredients
