[Condor 63]

Much as the "YO-YO Man" who would come to theaters on Sat afternoons, demonstrate and then sell Duncan Yo-Yo's.

Man, I had completely forgotten about that...

Duncan Yo-Yos.

I used to have the one called Satellite or something like that that had the lights on the inside that flashed as you yo-yoed. LOL

Occasionally if your skills weren't up to snuff the thing would get open and the batteries would fly out and pop someone in the head!

We didn't have no steeenkin' lights!LOL!
IIRC, the top Duncan model at the time had 4 rhinestones on one side and was made if wood. (Urban legend at the time said that this upset the yo-yo's balance.) In the schoolyard game of "can you top this?" I put a couple of dozen rhinestones on my yo-yo using a center punch and glue. Sparkled like crazy but the sharp edges tore up my fingers!
