That guy knows his 70s. Those would have been right at home in Stereo Review.

I know! They give me such flashbacks to being a kid and looking through my dad's electronics magazines.

These are so groovy! Reminds me of an enormous wood paneled cassette player my Nanna had, which would have fit right in with these products.

I miss the 70s.

Yeah, me too. Everything was so shiny and the future was promising. Now, not so much ...

Thanks, dg.

Now I'm depressed...

Hmm, everything was sort of broken and depressing in the seventies. Gas lines, inflation, crime, cities crumbling and going bankrupt, etc. And Debbie Boone too.

Yeah, there was a lot of broken stuff. It looks good now because we know how it turned out, and we don't know how Now is going to turn out.

Though, I liked Debbie Boone. And I'm sure I've mentioned my devotion to ABBA.

I love this so much. The little switches! The enormous headphone jack! The wood finishes!

Stop missing calls. Start interrupting movies.™

Wow, those are incredibly well done.
