The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.

One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.

Misguided Kitchen Appliances

Toaster Radio
[Ed note: Our weekend of silly pseudo-retro gadgets continues...] Sometimes it makes sense to combine appliances. Take the toaster oven, for instance. It toasts and it ovens. Easy to explain, easy to use. The $50-ish Delonghi toaster/radio isn't so easy to explain. It's a rather nice looking 2-slice toaster with a built-in Kenwood FM radio. I suppose it would be handy in a cramped apartment kitchen, but who in their right mind puts fiddly radio knobs right next to a couple of poker-hot electric heating elements? On the other hand, it's the only radio with a slide-out crumb tray.
