    I had 1494 a million years ago and gave it away (:crying:). I think it had a pressure pad in it but memory fails me in my old age. I have an old Shakespeare with a drag like that.

    MeTV plays 3 hours of the old ones on Sat mornings. 7 eastern. Popeye, Tom & Jerry, and the old looney tunes. I love the older ones from the 40’s and 50’s.
