Argos Catalogue from 1985

Oh this is just *brilliant*! Just in case you missed it (via @edgeonline - credit where credit is due) - someone has (*very* kindly) scanned 275 pages of the Argos catalogue from 1985 and popped them up on Flickr, here are just a few of my faves-

- top of the range car audio systems (note that FM radio aerial kits were still important at the time, even speakers needed installing in many vehicles!)-

- cassette tape storage solutions -

- the most amazing home cinema systems -

- noting that some things never change (well, apart from the complete lack of availability on the High Street for Chemistry sets in the modern age - you can get them online though) -

- (and now the really cool stuff) the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k (£119.95 to you) -

- or, if you were that way inclined, the Commodore 64 with Ferguson Monitor (*sure* we had that Monitor) all for £408.95 (which is probably why most people I knew had Speccies)-

- or how about the classic Atari 2600 JT, a snip at £49.99 (with three games) -

- Return of the Jedi and Knight Rider toys -

- and last, but very far from least, Game and Watches (our price £14.99) or how about a Tomytronic 3D Sky Attack (£19.95) or even a "Speak and Spell"...Ah...the sweet memories of childhood! :)

Oh boy, have I just shown my age! Enjoy your little stroll down memory lane... ;)
