Sound Burger returns as the Crosley Revolution CR6002 portable record player

Crosley_revolution

We featured this back in January, but now you can actually buy the Crosley Revolution CR6002 portable record player. At least, you can in the US. Don't worry, it'll be in the UK soon enough.

It's not a million miles away from the vinyl crate digger's tool of choice, the Sound Burger, a portable record player from the mid-80s. This new version updates things a little, offering 33/45 speed playback, dynamic full range stereo speakers, battery power, an FM transmitter for firing music over to your audio system wirelessly and a USB socket, so you can easily transfer vinyl to digital formats.

You can buy it directly from Crosley for $149.95 in three colour options, as well as Hammacher Schlemmer. We would expect Urban Outfitters to be the place in the UK to get one in the near future.

Chapman Flyfisher Bag

Chapman

A bag that comes with a heritage, but still looks hip in the modern era – the Chapman Flyfisher Bag.

A great heritage piece that's made in a small factory in Cumbria, the Flyfisher Bag is made of canvas and leather with brass detailing, complete with adjustable shoulder strap, a large storage compartment on the inside and two smaller front pockets. That inner pocket should have room for your laptop if you want to give it a very modern modern use.

It's made and hand-finished in the UK (as you might have gathered) and comes in three colour options, all selling for £125.

eBay watch: 1960s Hans Agne Jakobsson-designed pine ceiling lamp

Jacob

A great piece of vintage design – and this Hans Agne Jakobsson-designed pine ceiling lamp costs next to nothing right now.

Designed by Jakobsson in the 60s or possibly early 70s, it's a great midcentury-inspired piece, made of nine concentric pine laminates circles held by three vertical pine structures and organised so that they form a gap between each other. For the light to escape obviously.

Described as being in 'very good condition' and 'in full working order', it's currently available for just 99 pence.

Fujifilm FinePix X100 vintage-style digital camera launches

Fujifilm-x100

Vintage seems to be 'in' when it comes to high-end digital cameras right now, with this Fujifilm FinePix X100 promising stiff competition for the Olympus E-P1 and E-P2, not to mention the entire Leica range.

It just might have the looks to match the Leica M9 rangefinder and technically…well, it certainly impresses. Designed for the serious snapper, it packs a 12-megapixel APS-C DSLR sensor, a hybrid viewfinder (mix of optical and electronic), a 2.8-inch LCD screen, continuous shooting at 5fps and the option to shoot HD (720p) video.

Sold with a 23mm F/2 lens as standard, it should be available from early 2011. No price as yet, but we don't expect it to be cheap.

Adidas Originals Superstar Vintage x Craft Pack trainers

Supercraft

We covered the Adidas Originals Stan Smith Vintage x Craft Pack last week, whihc has now been joined by a similarly high-end Adidas variation – the Adidas Originals Superstar Vintage x Craft Pack.

It's not a million miles away from that Stan Smith either. Obviously it's that 70s classic, the Superstar, complete with trademark shell toe, but this upmarket take adds a premium soft leather upper in a natural beige colourway, contrasting white three stripe branding on the sides and a bright 'college red' textile lining.

£84.99 is the price you'll need to pay, with limited numbers available.
