I did! I'm not that much of jhole, that I wouldn't tell them. I have a health issue; I planned to work 2 more years, but this just sealed the deal. Short term disability pays poorly, so I feel like God was leading me in this direction.

A man’s got do what a man’s gotta do. I’m very fortunate to have gotten out relatively uninjured. Hopefully, retirement will help you heal faster.

Damn autocorrect!

Flashbulbs

Flash Cubes

 

[rod]

Old instamatic cameras used those. They spun after each flash so you could get several pictures before needing to replace it.

4 flashes per cube -----if all went well

I'm sure if I dug through enough boxes I could come up with an old Instamatic camera---flash cubes might be a little harder to locate but who knows?

 

[UnionStrong]

Remember using these?

My father had one

Two types of flashcubes. Older 126 film cameras had a battery which would power the flash. Later cameras used magic cubes which were self powered.

The 126 took great snapshots being 35 millimeter film.

And crappy plastic lenses.

No 35mm for sure, but good enough for snapshots.
