I put a few pics and videos of my dad's old Hero Jr. up. I barely remember him piecing it together as one of my earliest memories. Still works fine. Had a little Y2K glitch but was no problem. Just thinks it's 1923 now.

Thanks for the offer. TBH, now that I'm older, I have come to realize that some super neat-o things don't really fit into my life and would be sadly neglected. I've contemplated creating a display case in my office of all the gadgets I've bought over the years that are in pristine condition.

The sonar sensor looks like the one from the Polaroid SX-70, another wonder of that age.
