Yepp! that's an Akai spool player. Vintage electronics(Valve radios, spool players, LP's, microphones and even fans!) is another major hobby, and sadly the only place it can go into the landy is the boot!:D |

Unfortunately, it remained among some of his furniture in grandpa's house that he had to sell in a haste! :Frustrati And we had a "TELERAD" ('never seen any others like this..rare?) radio my dad bought in 1971-72. It was long, and the top was a smooth, polished decolum-like surface and had a chrome strip along the edge- it looked simply amazing! 'stopped working almost 20 years ago (in the sense didn't play anything but did turn on when you switched it on) and my parents lost interest in it. They did have it lying around at home for ages (I used to dust it every now and then!) before my mom gave it away around 5 years ago to some electrician I think, obviously without my knowledge! :( Oh well, I seem to've got too carried away....! Enough of the OT I guess! |

OK, this is my LAST go at hijacking your thread, sorry chettAn! :D YES, I do! Count me in!! Although I'm more fond of 60s/70s furniture, viz. those that came with the legs slanted outwards (get me?)....I love those decolum-top dining tables that came in the 70s. 'been scouting for one since ages!! |

Here are a few pictures of my Telefunken Shankara radio. It still works and infact I have my PC audio output connected to the pickup socket on the radio. If you guys like old radios, you may want to read this. Homo ludens radiohistoricus Cheers, |
