I loved those Edmund Scientific catalogues! They now have a website at https://www.scientificsonline.com. Judging by the fotos, however, they only sell to girls and minority children, and big ol’ safety goggles are mandatory.
I always wanted to get one of those surplus weather balloons. The power of advertising, I guess. :-)
I totally forgot about those! Yeah, I would devour them from cover to cover. Sears Catalog was great when you were 5 or 6, but after that, Edmund’s was it! Great memory. Thanks.
Yes it was !
Just behind the Radio Shack catalog . . .
I remember those catalogs. They had everything you needed to build your own telescope from scratch. Including the mirror grinding and polishing. I loved painting by numbers. I still do. I have a painting of one with two kittens on my wall. Got it at Walmart for a few dollars.
