Funny you should say that 2/nite.. Just did a feed w/sum barley grain & some of our buckets seem extra brittle and lighter.. maybe 5 y/o? Plastic (PVC-ish) has a shelf life or break down period.We use to use them as a Frisbee in the 70s. They flew well and shattered on impact.
DH still has his has his. A lot! If you try to play then the work until you get to the magnetic tape and the 86. the foil on the tapes are so old that the adhesive dehydrated to non sticky dust. Cassettes all saved, all vinyl. beta tapes/vhs/laser.. All boxed up for unknown reason for keeping. a dime a dozen stuffOur 8 tracks wait until the end of the song I think.
My first 8 track was Elvis Presley.![]()
