Mine did that out of the box. I always thought it was normal.

Sounds like it was defective. I would have demanded a refund.

How much were they back then?  I would have bought yours from you full price if that were the case.

I think they were $50 but with inflation, probably about $1000. (yes, one thousand). I say this because candy bars used to be a nickel, now they are 1 dollar, so a 20 times increase.
