A turntable from an umbrella maker? Totes Belt-Drive Turntable Radio
A radio with a belt-drive tuning dial, styled to look like a turntable, sold by a company that makes umbrellas. It makes perfect sense!

1983-commodore-vic-1530-cassette
I don't have much use for it because all my Commodore 64 software is on floppy disk, but this C2N Cassette Unit, a.k.a. VIC-1530 cassette recorder, works perfectly.

vintage-lafayette-amplifier-and-80s-akai
This simple little early '70s Lafayette Stereo-10A amplifier sounds great and plays LOUD! It surprisingly uses output transformers even though it is solid-state. The Akai tuner is also very good; it is part of a matched component system. And as always, my Panasonic cube speakers bring out the best of this setup; they sound better than many larger, newer speakers I have tried.

1920s-steampunk-roller-smith-htd-circuit
The Roller-Smith HTD is a simple but effective circuit tester and ohmmeter that is still accurate today, nearly a century later after it was first made. An ad announcing it is on page 4 of this radio engineering periodical from August 1927: https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-IRE/20s/IRE-1927-08.pdf

1999
1999-compaq-presario-5304-running
My dad's home computer, in nearly daily use since he bought it new in 1999 at PC Richard's. Here are the original specs: https://web.archive.org/web/20040824124552/http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00190906&product=93186
I upgraded it with an extra 128 MB of RAM (for a total of 192 MB) and a Zip drive, but otherwise the hardware is pretty much original. It has been absolutely 100% reliable and is even still running the original Compaq OEM installation of Windows 98 (first edition) and Office 97. He has a current computer at work, but at home this Compaq still does what he needs it to do. It has outlasted three HP color inkjet printers and now for the time being is paired with a trusty old HP LaserJet 4L.

january-2014-thrift-store-adventure
Some interesting items seen at my local thrift store this past month. I didn't buy anything shown here. The near-lifesize Miata poster was amusing, but probably wouldn't have fit in my car to bring it home, and the oscilliscope probably was a good deal for the price, but I already have one that works fine.

a-trick-on-the-pianio-playing-mystery
Lacquer acetate discs were a popular way to make amateur audio recordings before tape recorders became common. Here I play two of these discs, one completely unlabeled, and another by jazz pianist Fitz Herbert, who seems to be completely unknown except for a few recordings he made on the Savoy label in 1942.

A look at and listen to Emory Cook's crazy binaural LPs, which brought stereo sound to vinyl records five years before Columbia and other major record labels introduced stereo records in the format that is still used today.
