One thing you guys probably forgot with that bottle warmer, people used glass bottles back in the day so it wouldn't be burning it lol
Came here to say this lol
Beat me to it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's knowledgeable about baby bottles circa 30 years before my time.
also it needs a little bit of water at the bottom
Late 80's early 90's generation for you.
Betcha the baby bottle warmer was intended for glass bottles
You beat me to it by 3 minutes 😆
That or just like any bottle warmer you need to add water in the warmer
You add water to these old rubber sealed products and they will leak, period
Absolutely was
It was
Growing up in the 90s toll booth change baskets were still a thing. The coin launcher is by far the best product and at the best value, even for 1960s money.
It's practical, fun to use, and unique.
Sadly I think if you used it now days someone would call 911 and report that the driver has a gun.
They still are a thing for the bridge in my home city in Canada. People who use it often can get a transponder, but people who only cross occasionally can use coins (or go to a cashier if they don't have change).
I used one in I think NJ or DE a few years ago.
I don't know exactly what year the toll booth gun is from, but I'm guessing the early '60s. $5.95 then is equivalent to over $60 now.
@@KeystoneMotorsports NJ has phased out manned booths, and I'm honestly not sure coins are a thing anymore either.
The red "shaver" is definitely an old lint grabber. Believe it or not, that head design is still used today.
I just imagine a semi truck driver with that coin shooter reloading like 20 times lmao

ATF: Hol' up
They'd probably use the shotgun shell full of quarters instead.
It’s probably illegal in California
@@kaleb62patriot That gun is probably known to cause cancer and birth defects in California.
I wanna see a single car outfitted with every old car gadget you guys have acquired all at the same time. 😂
They should put it all in Nolans Imperial

@@JackMoynihanOfficialyou beat me to it!
They did this to the VW they had back in the day had every goofy accessory they acquired
3:30 _"It only detects when the RADAR gun is pointed directly at the unit. That's kind of concerning."_
Why? That's how RADAR works. It only measures your speed if it's pointed directly at you.
Yes, but ideally you'd like to know if someone is using a radar gun in the area *before* they point it at *you.*
6:02 I’m pretty sure baby bottles were glass in the 60’s
That bottle warmer was actually meant to be used with glass bottles and mother's milk, not formula. Just figured I'd share that.
yep, it's the plastic bottle, the modern day bottle warming equipment needs water to transfer the heat.
@@saeedhossain6099 lmao, I forgot about that. We had a bottle warmer when Arthur was a little one and you're totally right you need a bit of water in the bottom of them to keep it from melting the bottle. Worked pretty well too.
is just a healthy smoke its making
Yo son, I got that breast milk connect!
Bro… fruit loops with breast milk? Nom nom nom!😂
“You can’t even get this material for 5 bucks anymore” Sad but true 😂🥃
don't forget about inflation. it's probably 4x the cost now
Pulled up the inflation calculator it’s more like 10 - 12 times more expensive
@@pclark3389 yeah
I mean, back then $5 was like $30
And the average wages were like $30 a week.
Glad to see Justin showing more personality on camera! Only getting better my guy!
Right!? It feels like he is all of a sudden just more comfortable. I like him alot.
That brake tester is called a tapley meter and it is still used in the UK on MOT tests for vehicles which can't go in the brake rollers (4wd vehicles for example)
The shaver you have I believe is a lint shaver for shaving lint off sweaters, we use to have a cordless one when I was a kid.

6:08 I grew up with that very same coffee maker, we used it all through the 1980's and 90's and it still works great, we used it to heat the water and pour it into soup in a bowl or small pot and coffee in a cup, making anything in it is a bad idea as it will burn into the coil, the box even says not to.
Man I would love that brake tester at the end, when I serviced the brakes on my 1931 Pontiac it would have been amazing to see the difference my work made in actual feet!
1:25 The nice design of the 1953 Cadillac was the little nubs on top of the early fins held the turn signals that you could see flashing or not through the rear view mirror.
Justin and Nolan are such a good pair for this show. You dudes are hilarious
I think a lot of people don’t realize how much of this stuff is meant for things like camping or RVs, etc and not really for use on a commute in a car.
Probably at least for when you're not actually driving the car I'd agree lol, tho the description on the coffee maker did mention automobile, truck, camper, etc
@@SangheiliSpecOps That's because back then, they trusted your intelligence. "Here's a 12V apparatus, now go use it when it's appropriate".
Nowadays, 22 trillion lawsuits later, they have to put warning on an oven that it's gonna get hot.
@@SangheiliSpecOps
Coffee maker definitely meant for a car - you can get an espresso maker branded for my car now. (£187.50, no thanks)
they didn't really have RVs back then like we do now. Everything was tow behind so there's no reason you'd be in there. RVs didn't really have cig lighters in them because everyone had matches/lighters. I think you're making stuff up.
People actually stopped at rest-stops to use these, but today everyone is in too much of a hurry to be somewhere!
my uncle got extreme second degree burns from one of those dashtop coffee pots back in the 70s or 80 and almost died. Gotta love old products
There are some MOT centres here in the uk still using that decelerometer as a way to check brakes. They measured G and were routinely calibrated. That tool was how it was done everywhere before in ground roller brake testers became the standard
“Call me A-blinkin” is a top tier dad joke from Nolan 😂

I like this Nolan and Justin duo. There should be more.
I love that all your videos about old car accessories have surf music in the background. Which one of you made that excellent choice?
I think baby bottles were all glass back in the 60’s. So it would have probably actually have worked pretty well.
Don't think plastic baby-bottles you could sterilize were available back then!
Plus I'm thinking a cord that old requires some inspection and probably restoration or a swap. Especially since it's heating.
Hoping to get another high-low series but on motorcycle
Judging from last season. I hope they all have really good insurance.
Yesss would love this idea!
High-low but lawnmower racing
@@connor1586 "You know you're a redneck when...." - Jeff Foxworthy
YES, but also no, no motorbike deserves the sort of crap the low vehicles get purchased for them.
9:05 the coin shooter is like the supreme money gun from past😂❤
The “A-Blinking” joke was actually pretty good 😂
I sho thought the fuzz buster was gonna be the shaver. And the amount of time Justin thought about putting the pacifier in his mouth is hilarious.
Decelerometers are still a thing and still used for car inspections. In Australia you can be pulled over and inspected virtually any time, the yellow 'canary' stickers they put on for a defect are kinda legendary.
Imagine how angry you would be if you got inspected
Man I have more time then I care to admin in NSW 😂
Ive lived in Australia my whole life and never gotten my car inspected although I live on the WestCoast so probably a NSW thing. I have seen the yellow canary sticker tho mainly on Falcons Commodores and Mitsubishi Lancers with P plates on them.
Some of those like the coffee maker are probably better as a camping accessory than an "on the go" product
Love watching you guys. Ready for more builds
Coffee and a pack of Donuts is a good way to start a Friday.

These episodes are cool and fun. But I miss your old shows.
Right? Like… about cars.
It happens to every channel that’s been around for a while. They run out of ideas so they need to adjust their content. Id rather them upload these filler episodes than not upload at all. Like u can only do Up to Speed shows on so many car manufacturers before u run out of car companies to talk about
Was thinking the same exact thing as I was watching this video.
Agree. The novelty has worn off quickly. We get it, amazon and ali express sell junk, no we aren't installing bottle warmers. Back to cars please.
I remember when this channel just did the car Evolution animations that's when I subscribed
RIP Up 2 Speed
I wonder if radar guns used to have much higher power output, since their own receivers and filtering mechanisms may have also been poor compared to today. and/or their output may have been less focused so that nearby vehicles could detect the bleed
Yup. Get a radar unit from the 70s and test it with that; MUCH more powerful than a consumer unit. Just don't keep it in your lap. Lot of cops ended up with cancer from that.
@@THEATOMICB0MB They didn't create ionizing radiation, radar is in the microwave frequency so they couldn't have given anyone cancer.
They do say that pilots in vietnam turned off their installed detection systems and used commercial units like this, because they worked better. How true that is, don't know, but that's what the lore says...

I only recently replaced the car I had for 16 years, and the indicators never automatically turned off when you straightened the wheel, so that first product made me smile ☺
Nolan & Justin always make a great pair for videos. Also, shout out to the editing team for a great job on this video!
And the dude in the back who ducked to get out of the shot, lol
Decelerometers are still used and they’re still used for inspections.
In the UK the DVLA and VOSA have checkpoint all over the motorway network, the police can pull you over and anytime to inspect a vehicle for safety.
Sometimes they’re set up ad-hoc in car parks in known hotspots too
5:45 to be fair in the 60's the baby bottles were made of glass so the wouldnt burn or melt
"lets get to blinkin, call me abe blinkin" absolutely crushed my lungs

Justin quickly becoming more and more a favorite! Love this guy’s energy
I’m surprised that neither of them had heard of a decelerometer before! Here in the uk we still use them for MOT tests on permanent 4wd vehicles

Would've loved to see that blinker bulb of the E36 changed to see if the blinker indicator device really works.
Could've been on the whole time.
...or it was confused by late model auto wiring-systems!
The brake tester is called a Tapley Meter and in my country (New Zealand) we legitimately still use them for our yearly safety inspections if your workshop doesn't have a rolling road. You zero the meter out and at 50kph you slam on the brakes and if it doesn't get to 50% braking efficiency you fail. Legitimately in my decade+ experience I've only had a small handful of cars not meet that requirement however and usually it's because the car is old and has rusty/asbestos based brakes. We have these inspections because we have public healthcare and we don't want taxpayers paying for people getting hurt/killed in vehicular accidents caused by negligent lack of maintenance.
Love these series, especially the dynamic Justin brings! Curious on how James is doing?

I feel like you guys really missed an opportunity to do a whole skit with Nolan dressing up as a 20’s cop and riding the step of Justin’s Tundra lmfao
Solid work guys, keep ‘em coming!
That be a Tundra !
@@BoneStack117 ahhh good catch
Poppycock!
Up to Speed on Michael Schumacher please. Ken Block deserves one too but it’s still a little too fresh so maybe wait on that and do a collaboration with Hoonigan.
Drum brakes actually have more holding power than similar sized disk brakes. But they can more easily overheat (brake fade), often weigh more and are more complex to work on.
It is worth noting that radar detectors in the 50s and 60s were way more powerful in RF output, largely due to inefficiency, so it comes as no surprise that the modern radar gun makes it trigger not so well.

Dude, I love videos with Nolan and Justin. Great team.

The brake tester likely could be calibrated. Back in 1920's it came with a free box of donuts 🍩 for the police officer, too 😂😜
0:42 thats is something a lot of drivers need
I think the shaver would be really useful for car seat lint. I have a battery powered one that looks pretty much the same, and does a great job removing lint and fluff.
I love all these old gadgets! You guys should see if you can track down one of those liquid traction sets. They'd have a spray nozzle directed in front of the drive wheels that'd spray antifreeze or liquid salt in front of the drive wheels, which would melt snow or ice to get you unstuck in a pinch. There's no snow where you guys are... But maybe you could use VHT instead of antifreeze👀
I'd be hella down for a modernized line up of donut accessories that you guys bring back... To your shop 😎

About the $5 coin shooter:
You guys have to remember that if that was a product from the late 60s, $5 would be somewhere between $40-50 in today's monetary value
3:55 I think that's when you want to turn it up, when the radar is coming from farther away. Probably why it stopped working when you turned it up, cuz he was so close.

The road inspector also known as MOT checks in the UK 🙃 and seeing some of the cars that are driven in the road in the USA I'm glad we do have the MOT here 🤣

Miss the car content, the product reviews all feel the same
Honestly, that autoparker is pretty rad... I'd pick one up if they weren't impossible to find.
So much of this is still relevant to truck drivers. Heaters for water and soup are available at every truck stop. A cop can pull you over and do an inspection including brakes at any time without any requirement of probable cause. Kinda interesting.
I think the coffee maker was just for getting boiling hot water. You were probably supposed to pour that into a thermos/mug with instant coffee once it was hot.

In the army as a mechanic from 86 to 98 and we had brake testers that drew a line with a pendulum mounted pencil, it also showed if brakes were pulling. Old but reliable.
@12:00 truckers deal with random safety inspections. And honestly I would feel more comfortable on the road if civil cars had random safety inspections
This episode made me realize how similar some of these are to GMM. Finding old stuff, deciding whether it’s good enough to bring back or not…. Would be a crossover of the century if you guys somehow made an episode with Rhett and Link lol

I have a fuzzbuster elite for my 79 El Camino. I love mine. I was just looking for vintage early 80s car accessories and stumbled upon it.
1:21 - Check it out! There used to be two big old-fashioned gasometer tanks just south of the 101 Freeway near Union Station. I didn't even think they were used in the States.
A fabric shaver will do wonders on your beard, Nolan. You'd think some of these products would be researched a little bit more before trying to use them. Like trying to use modern plastic baby bottle in a heater made when only glass bottles were around.
🎁🎁🎁👆👆let discuss✍️✍️📥📥
Ima keep my Car “accessories” ”a necessity”
The thing with the Fuzz buster is that radar guns have changed since that thing was built so there is a small chance it worked better on the police radar that existed at the time. The bottle warmer was meant for glass baby bottles which was the main type in use when that thing was made.
My mom had something like that car shaver you tested back in the early 90's. Except hers was a lint remover and it was battery powered.
Just copped a cars are pain long sleeve, thanks for the content dudes 🤙🏻
In the UK MOT inspection you still have them Ferodo or Tapley decelerometers for brake test for if the brake rollers are down or you have a 4x4 not suitable for rollers. They are mounted on a weight and you place it in the passenger footwell rather than clamp it to the side.
great video! please keep bringing old stuff to the future so we can check it out!
I feel like Justin shooting money into a bin describes car ownership for most of us
5:55, baby bottles used to be made from glass :face_palm:
I'm glad you guys explained toll booths used to have hoppers you'd just chuck your coins in.
The first thing that came to mind with that coin shooter is if you use it to shoot coins at a person working the toll booth, they should be allowed to shoot back with live ammo...
That brake tester is was probably, and still seems pretty accurate. When it was developed most of the cars on American roads were Ford Model T's. Which weighed about 1270lbs. I'm sure Justin's truck is around 4-5,000lbs, so over 3x the weight.
The only vintage clothing item i want brought back is the hat about bungee cords left in the road. I think James wore it in the old Hi-Low series.
Thank you for making videos like this it is very normal compared to half of the stuff nowadays 😂
And that's ALL they had until 2003.
Just that 1966 book of accessories.

Fun fact. I still use a decelerometer today. For awd and 4x4 our brake roller tester can cause transmission damage so we use a vintage decelerometer instead. They are still very reliable and capable devices.
10:25 i need one of those for my daughter that is now learning to drive
Can the awesome people of Donut Media bring back Up To Speed?
Been waiting since the last episode.
My brother had the fuzzbuster ll. Fake woodgrain and sad sounding buzz worked well enough to let you know you're about to get pulled over.
