    The thing with the retractable string is a cloths line. I've repaired and installed hundreds of them. Keep rocking Mike

      That must be an old school clothesline before Mike's time. I think the last time I saw it was fifty years ago.

      When you got rid of the spool, I was cringing. It looks like a large empty spool of thread and all us sewing and quilting ladies decorate with that type of thing. If you have any quilting or sewing shops in your area, you could probably find out if they would be interested in them, you might also get more money if they are painted. Ask. Keep Scrapin, love it

    Atari hooks up to the tv as I recollect, that was your monitor. Dig Dug was a pretty popular game in the early 80s, research it, may be a minor payday. Round silver thing is not a bell, it is a bathtub enclosure clothes line. Pull the string out and attached to a clip on the opposite wall over the tub. Wet clothes dripped into the tub, not your floor.

    35:36 - the thing with the wound-up string is a laundry line. You could hang a few clothes on that. The nub on the front of the line would attach to an anchor in the opposite wall. These used to be common in hotel/motel showers so you could dry your swim suit after going in the pool. I don't think I have ever seen one in a home.

I logged on today and RUclips had this video waiting for me to watch that I didn't see yet!! I found you during the lock down and you helped my family kill hours of fun watching them. We missed this one and RUclips made sure I seen it ❤ Never change Mike you are funny we love when you beat up the dumpsters and use the sound affects 😂😂 and we always say Watch U'r head 😂😂 Thank you XOXO
    Ps. The "bell" is a line that women put in the bathroom to hang up there bras and underwear.
