Assume this was a telephone? How uncomfortable/ awkward was it to use?

Was Diners Club the precursor to BankAmericard, or was that something separate?

No, that was separate.

Before it was BankAmericard, it was Bank American Card. Might not have had the spaces... I was just a little girl watching TV commercials back then.

Panasonic really liked round things back then. My friend's older teen sister had one of those (we envied it).

These ball radios were everywhere, especially at the beach.

Doesn't it look a little like the Death Star? Maybe that's where George Lucas got the idea!

It was / is a radio! Called a Toot a loop!
