First you would plug it in,


then wait for it to heat up. Add a thing of wax if needed, then roll it on the back of your stat. Then line up the stat on the mechanical with a T-square on your desk. Then burnish.

You ungrateful punks have no idea. No idea.

Whenever I smell one of these, which is lately very rarely indeed, it takes me back to my early newspaperin' days.

Aah, memories.

Wow, I've never actually seen pictures of that stuff.

Somewhere in a drawer I think I still have my Lectro Stik waxer. If I recall correctly, it leaks vast amounts of wax (needs a new seal). I am far more ancient than I like to imagine.

Still have my waxer. Still have memories of putting together a 64-p magazine with it. Makes me love my current Mac all the more. Fun post.
