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.
Your Chance to Own A Sinclair Z1
By James Grahame
Before the famous Sinclair computers and calculators, Sir Clive Sinclair made radios. He still does.
The half-ounce (14 g) Sinclair Z1 Micro AM Radio is the smallest radio I've ever seen. To make things even more compact, the antenna can be removed when used in areas with good reception. It runs for 40 hours on one SR44 button cell, and a key-chain carrying case is included to keep this little widget from getting lost.
Sir Clive released a similar FM ear radio in 1997, although its clip-on design was elephantine in comparison to this.
And now, the best part. They're still available direct from Sinclair Research for a mere £9.95 (approx $18).
