[ladystorm61]

Brings back wonderful memories of my childhood....watching these and eating Freezie Pops with my friends...wonderful days I miss! Thank you for sharing. = )

Had one of these in about 1967....i recall only one of the records, Abraham Lincoln

"Stand aside and let the better man pass." I have often thought that I would have spent my childhood more productively had I read Shakespeare instead of spending hours in front of this thing. Ha.

the flip side of each record had a song pertaining to the slide show. I haven't seen this in 35+ years! I kept this thing in mint condition and then it was handed down to my nephew and niece. WHAT A GAS SEEING THIS! THANK YOU!

[PatrickMcBride65]

I got a Show 'N Tell for Christmas when I was 5 in 1970. I had this Robin Hood slide thang! Thank you for posting this!

whoooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! I have a photo of myself with my Show 'N Tell on my blog: blogomite

OMG! I remember that when I was like 3. We had it for many years after I grew up in my grandmothers garage. Wish I still had it. Man that brings back some of my earliest memories.

Does anyone remember the gray & white one that had an AM radio?

[4gnrations07]

We had one of these in the late 60's, the record/film we got was Fall Of The House Off Usher, fascinating for that era!! Thanks for the memories!!!

I wanted the blue and white one in the early 70's so bad..I did get one in the mid 70's red & white & out of someones garbage.I remember the whirr sound, (I hear, here) & a hot plastic smell from the lamp.I used it a few times with 1 strip & 45 then took it apart, every single screw and spring ,there was like 100 parts .

I had one as a kid! Late 60s/70s. Thanks for reminding me how it operates - it was a mystery to me back then - and I DO remember the strip advancing "out of phase" with the audio if you mis-cued it up! It was great 'cause you could also just use it as a phonograph, even play 12' records (which the famous CloseNPlay couldn't) - ours also had a 45RPM speed and pull-up big-hole adaptor ... Thanks for the Memories!

I bought one of these for $12 at a vintage store in like 2002, along with about 20 stories . At first, just the screen worked, then it stopped working and the turntable worked. Then it stopped working all together. I've been trying to get my parents to ship it to me so I can fix it and enjoy it.

I won't remove this comment, but I would like to ask why you are a homophobe and incredibly sexist. So, Why are you a homophobe and incredibly sexist? Please don't add stupid comments to my videos; they are to show the world old technologies and recordings, not to sway an opinion. Like the Mayan Calendar means anything anyway.

First the Show 'N Tell, then Pong, then Pac-Man, then Atari, then Play Station, then the evil of the Internet.

And all the while the women launched their plan to rid the Earth of men.

December 21, 2012; can it be stopped?

Or will Lesbian Nation come to fruition?

[Adamdurrance]

I never thought I'd see this again.

Thanks!

I had an updated one from about 1984-1985, made by CBS Toys. Same concept, slightly updated to the decade. My brother and I were 3 years old at the height of when we used to play with this, and we loved it!

One record I had that stands out (possibly because it didnt have a filmstrip with it) was Fraggle Rock.

[Pfaendtner]

I had one of these when I was a kid. I remember Black Beauty and The Prince and the Pauper.

[vinylman86]

Nice GE! I notice the motor sound. It sounds just like my 1972 GE stereo record player.

[BrooklynMouse]

I'm glad you love those GE Show & Tell. You should get it soon to have a demo of your GE Show & Tell phono viewer. But this one can play music as well.

And yes, the motor sound sounded a lot like my GE Wildcat record player which I have in my collection.

[lauraandcalin]

We watched Bible story programs on this machine when I was in Sunday school, back in the '70s. Wow!
