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.

Early Style Edison Reproduction Light Bulbs

You can barely see the glowing filament in this pic.

The incandescent light bulb hasn't really changed much in a hundred years. In fact, you can still buy a reproduction of the original Edison bulbs from the 1890s. This 6" clear glass bulb emits a dim reddish glow from a single loop carbon filament. It has a 2000 hour average life and emits a soft glow far gentler than a modern 40W incandescent. Because of the fragile filament, it should only be mounted vertically.

Is it worth $13.49? That depends. We're rapidly approaching the time when an inefficient incandescent of any type will be seen as a quaint museum piece. And it definitely beats having to refill my oil lamp every night.
