Everyone seems to be selling re-conditioned BT dial telephones these days, but SCP has something a little more original – reissued Dreyfuss 500 vintage telephones.
The phones were designed, as the name suggests, by industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss – the first of which went into use in 1949. These phones aren’t authentic reissues, they’re a little more useful then that, with updated technology such as push button dialing and auto redial.
You can check out the full range at an SCP shop or stockist, with the two pictured here retailing for £49.95 each.
It’s a retro gamer’s dream – but you’ll have to be a rich one to bid for Atari’s marketing archives, which are up for grabs at Sotheby’s in New York, with an estimate of around $150k – $200k. That between £75k and £100k.
When I was a lad, my first record player was of the suitcase variety, complete with a bag of old 45s no-one in the family wanted. In hindsight, they were pretty decent – Kinks, Stones, Beatles, Nancy Sinatra and the Walker Brothers – all scratched of course. I’ve still got most of them, so could perhaps re-live the past with this vintage-style suitcase record player with radio.
Nothing to do whilst waiting for that kettle to boil or that microwave to ‘ping’? You need the Tetrius Magnet Set – which is Tetris, with fridge magnets.
