* capitalist greed and resource shortages causing inflation

* struggle to phase out of fossil fuels

* China waging (cyber)war against the US and helping Russia fuck over Ukraine

* recovering from a plague

* racist, xenophobic people in government accusing dissenters of being communists

* corporations union-busting and trying to monopolize resources

* talk of nuclear holocaust

* Draconian laws stripping away human rights

* rights to privacy deterioating

am I discussing Pre-War Fallout? nope.

Real World.

Now.

These things are happening now.

Scanning some slides and found this nice MG TB (guessing, due to grille & radiator cap and front "bumper" . Beautiful black or dark. Brown car. If a TB, rare: they made less than 400 in 1939&1940 before switching production to military for WWII.

All I know is this was from a car show in the 70s, in the UK. Townsend of Amersham was a vendor at the show if that helps. MHK 237 should be another clue and car #106 of the show.

"Low-background steel, also known as pre-war steel, is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first nuclear bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. Typically sourced from ships (either as part of regular scrapping or shipwrecks) and other steel artifacts of this era, it is often used for modern particle detectors because more modern steel is contaminated with traces of nuclear fallout."

updated photos of my gameroom, now that I've cleaned a bit. I had a custom table built to hold the prewar pins.

on the #prewar #pinball tip, someone posted this photo on the FB group and I love this for storage. These are the primo industrial shelves at your casual stores, with under-shelf lighting.
I would like to move to shelves like this eventually instead of the metal wire shelves, but the dimensions of these hulking beasts doesn't fit well with my current gsmeroom layout. (The mesh wire shelves can have some sag when 80 pound machines sit on them)

I kind of bought a #prewar #pinball machine out of spite?
On #pinside I have almost every prewar pin on my wishlist because I wanted to get any market updates. Guy messages me saying he has a Five Star Final Jr for me in Alberta if I want it.
He sends me pic 1, which seems familiar. I subscribe to the Curiosity Inc YT channel (it's a guy in Edmonton who runs an antique store) and I dug through a recent video, see pic 2.
Pics 3 & 4 are crops of 1 & 2.
