In 1963 7-11 bought 123 Speedee Marts, prior to that they were pretty much only in Texas and Louisiana. So my guess is if there were actually tube testers in 7-11s, outside of Texas and Louisiana, it was very short lived.I sure remember the machines, but not at the 7/11's. The time frame I remember the machines they were usually found in drug and/or hardware stores. I'm talkin' about way before 7/11's were even invented! Yeh, I been around that long.
Few have any idea what it is like to be lying in a rice paddy, with the VC firing from a tree line. Then the Fox 4s come in with snakes and nape to save the day! Man, I still love the sound of fast movers.Love me some bent-wing bug-suckers -- D's, E's, and RF's --
