it's a controller for a slot car racing set. Plastic track with a slot down the middle- the car a little thingy that fit into the slot... you held the trigger down to send juice from the battery to the car to make it race down the track...
The last ones were actually "clackers" and were recalled because they came flying off the string a couple of times and done serious damamge. I was just thinking about my Spirograph the other day. How strange! Toys were so simple and cheap back then. Interesting guessing game.
I hated those clackers. Kids would bring them to school and clack them in the hall. They weren't allowed in the classrooms. I hated that sound after a while!

Number one is a radio I think,, number seven is a slot car controller, and number eight is a set of click clacks!
Bucko: "spindle thingy" = #5?
#5 is a typewriter daisywheel! I had a typewriter that had oen when I was a kid.
#1 is actually not a "radio". Bonus points if you know what the handle on top was for!
it's an eight track player-push the handle to change the song!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! You got it!
#8 (the gun thingy) stumped me - but I got the rest.
WTF is #8??
XOXOXOXO

click clack
I knew them all except for the slot car thing.
My click clacks were dark green. Still makes me laugh that a toy consisted of heavy glass balls that you swung through the air.
We were badass, I'm tellin' ya!
What a fun post!
The last one had a terrible racist name. Lol. But I would hurt someone with them.
