Comment Erector Set! (Score 1) 1085
Anyone else get one of those big ol' Erector sets full of nuts, bolts, screws and metal pieces?
Especially great were the sets that came with motors! Throw in some gears and pulleys and the imagination was the limit.
Another back from the 70s were the Riveton (Rivetron?) sets, a plastic sort of Erector set with rubber rivets instead of nuts & bolts.
And who could forget the classic "Girder N Panel" sets? Anyone else have those sets of little columns and girders that came with plastic window and roof panels? In the 70s there were a couple of different sets, one with special pieces for bridges and one with window/roof panels for skyscrapers. But before that there were many many different types of sets.
