UnisonicApril 24, 2020 - 12:18 amUnisonic made a variety of inexpensive electronic products in the late 80s and early 90s. Calculators, clear telephones, watches and stereo equipment. I’ve showcased a few items in my collection but what I found really bizarre doing a deeper dive today was their line of UniFoam telephones. They came in a bunch of sports and […]

MOMA reissues the Aurora ClockOctober 22, 2017 - 12:01 amThe classic mid-century clock gets an update with a broader spectrum of colors and a lower voltage LED backlight that adjusts to the brightness in the room. The original version had problems with the heat from the lamp melting the colored lens. Unfortunately, this upgrade comes with a hefty high price tag of $699. Buy from MOMA.

Falling in love with this enchanting expensive toy of 80’s “boombox” in MINIATURE!!, I just bought one by Ebay and received my lot for two days ago!!
Just ONLY works the radio, but I consider it logic, and I can make some botch works with some rubber straps for bring the cassette to “work” fairly.
I confess that I am a vicious one in the collections of my longed-for electronic devices from the ’80s, especially the “boombox” with radio and cassette. My favorites, the ones that have capacity for metal and / or chrome tape !!.
And, yes, I have more than one micro-cassette deck, but none of them provide radio! (And much less, stereo and capable of STEREO!? micro-cassettes, And if that were not enough, metal tapes!!!).
