Not a very comprehensive selection if you ask me. I didn't see replacement Motor Smoke anywhere. I have a motor that the smoke leaked out of and I would love to refurb it. Oh well. :beer:

Almost forgot, what does "VAT" at the end of his prices mean? Is that like "S&H"?

Shipping and Handling. The handling part is so the company that you bought it from can charge you extra.

Cliff,

Many stores had these. I remember my parents collecting them and pasting them in a book. When you had so many you took it to the S&H store to redeem them for a toaster or something like that. That was back in the late 50's to early 60's IIRC.  :med:

Bernd  :zap: Ooooh I needed that. Keeps the heart going you know.  :zap:

OMG S&H...

I remember as a kid in the early 70s posting those in the book.
I think it was Big Bear we got em from when we lived in Ohio. Not sure they had them when we moved to Florida in 76.
