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.
Troika Boom Boxen
By James Grahame
If you haven't guessed by now, tabletop radios are the Retro thing equivalent of iPod accessories. Many are released into a cold and uncaring world, but only a few capture our hearts.
I hope the $70 Troika Boom Box portable AM/FM Clock Radio sticks around. Created by German Design Firm Troika, these have pretty standard specs: They receive AM & FM radio. They tell time and make loud noises if you're about to be late. They have antennas to suck tiny little radio waves out of the air. And they're available in two shades, helpfully described as "light wood" and "dark wood."
They probably run on electricity, too.
