Jan 1972: Lektro Blade Shaver ad from Remington

(+Replaceable Lektro Blades)

«The new Remington. It's designed for changing blades so you don't have to keep changing shavers.»
This is an advertisement for an electric shaver with replacement blades, so the user does not need to buy a new shaver. It mentions the comfort system, the slant-head shape, and a hideaway trimmer. There are two models available. The new Remington. It's designed for changing blades so you don't have to keep changing shavers. New slant-head shape– fits your face better. Behind here, there's a Hideaway trimmer for your sideboards and moustache. Remington's Lektro Blade Comfort System gives you a choice of comfort positions to suit your skin. Replaceable Lektro Blades. Almost any good electric shaver can give you a clean shave when it's new. But the Remington Lektro Blade Shaver is designed to keep giving you good shaves when it's no longer new. No shaver is any better than its blades, since it's the blades themselves that do the shaving. So we gave this new Remington the sharpest shaver blades we've ever made. And we made these blades replaceable. When you notice this new Remington losing sharpness, in 6 months or so, the importance of replaceable blades will come to you. Because you won't have to start searching for a repair shop. Or looking at new models. Instead, you pop in a new set of blades and start getting the kind of close comfortable shaves you got when the shaver was new. There are two models to choose from: the three-headed LB 26 at £12-50 or the two-headed LB 23 at £10-50 (without trimmer). Remington Lektro Blade is a registered trade mark.

Lonely #lektro at #SAN

A lektro is a towbar-less pushback, it loads the nose gear onto a platform then lifts the aircraft up a few inches before pushing the aircraft out like a tiny reverse tow truck.

The differences we're seeing in automotive design and tech in passenger cars is being reflected even in Airport towing equipment!

Job has gotten several new Eagle Tugs and a brand new Lektro for use to supplant the equipment from the 70s! Whats changed in 60 years?

The 70s Lektro uses pneumatics for steering and bucket driven by the electric motor. The winch is electric.

On the 2025 Lektro all mechanisms including steering are motor driven. It trades the sturdy switches for soft touch buttons. It too has a multifunction screen for info!

You know what would be pretty cool?

For the Lektros, both are electric, leaf spring suspension, and rear steer. Where they differ is equipment and pneumatics. The 70s Lektro has no gauges other than battery percentage. Flip switches, for controls, a mechanical gear level but not to any transmission.
The "gauge" cluster of the 70s Lektro, which features nothing but a battery meter and the controls for turning the machine on and using its equipment The switch gear for lights and drive A red 1970s Lektro in pretty bad shape

-which is not an issue in the old lektro, and doesn't take as long in the old tug. Since they're so digital there is no maintenance that can be done by the FBO or traditional mechanics. And there's some packaging concessions taken for their tows, both being much larger than the old ones.
