Analog Hero: Classic Gadget Shop

Analog Hero is a growing online store featuring many of the sorts of things that we talk about on these pages. Ben Ransom offers a growing stock of classic stereos, cameras, even a modern GSM replica of an early 1980s 'brick' cellphone. Instead of waiting around for eBay auctions to end at prices you can't predict, you can shop the aisles of Analog Hero's virtual store to satisfy your retro urges. 

One of my major annoyances with online auctions is when items are labeled as "untested." It's often the sign of a lazy seller, or someone who's trying to sell  some broken junk. Analog Hero tests and refurbishes their pieces, in addition to posting online videos of your future goodies in operation.

Highlights of their collection include a beautiful Russian wind-up Super 8 camera, an amazingly thin vintage Seiko TV watch, and even a Fisher Price kid's record player.

We'd like to thank them for sponsoring us this month!
