This goes back over 20 years. I went ahead and posted it out on Google+ which may be easier to view without downloading the image https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109286579716354732032.
Thanks Luke, that’s the kinda stuff I started this thread for.
I love those old pic’s.
I don’t have any Tom Kuhns and don’t want any, but they are really nice to see sometimes. It makes me think of how yoyo must have been back in the 1970s
You must learn to appreciate wood.

The stuff my dreams are made of…
Wayne, is there a turbo yo in there?
Well, I’m impressed!
Yes indeed. If only it were mine, but unfortunately that’s a picture of the national yo-yo museum’s TK collection.
Wow, that’s something else, there.
Wow, that’s incredible. Truly the first of it’s time. It’s a shame so many people don’t know what a treasure that is.
If your find yourself in the Chico area pay them a visit you’ll be amazed at what they have on show.
Here’s where they’re at :- 320 Broadway St. Chico, California 95928
Here’s a link to the museums site :- http://museum.nationalyoyo.org/
It’s a good day when you can scratch another one off your most wanted list.
And it only took 6 years to find!!!
Really, Really nice!
Had some good scores this week.
Here’s my No Jive collection after 11 years of hunting them:
Aaaaaaand for anyone out there who’s interested, here’s what I’m still looking for (including pipe dreams):
That is a really nice collection Ed. I only have three but I hope to make it grow.
Correction!!! I just added a Bearing Woody.
Ed - love the display. Wish I had doubles of any of those you are looking for - I can check, but doubt it. I, myself, an hunting for the Olympics/Aspen and the Green-painted stripe model.
I need to get some better pictures and cataloging of my collection. Tom Kuhn Collection - this is some years ago, probably added another 10 or so.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Truly radical collection, jblack! I’m in awe! If you ever get tired of either of those ii Girls or either of those maroon sparkles (wait you have a PAIR?!?!), please hit me up!!!
Also, received this guy from the man, himself last week.
No words.
Are any more No Jive 3 in 1 yoyos going to be made or is eBay the only option now?
We just got some new No Jives in, expect them online later this week or the next!
Special Treat for all you Tom Kuhn Collectors and fixed axle players! We just got in a shipment of new old stock - The Original San Francisco No Jives! (Repackaged in the newer packaging, just incase anyone was curious.)
