I can't say I've ever heard of the Electrohome space age audio system, but I like its wonderful space age looks.
Those looks are from a brushed aluminium base and stand, along with a tinted dome that holds the record player and an AM/FM radio. That's before we get to the speakers, which are pretty stylish in their own right.
Check the images on the site as there's obvious wear through age. But if you like it, you can bid now starting at $199.50 (£129.53).
Eco-friendly radios don't usually come with retro looks – unless you pick up the Lexon Safe eco radio by Elium Studio.
Made of maize bio-plastic and bamboo, this AM/FM radio has the looks of a vintage piece of audio, but has some very modern functionality – with wind-up operation, recharging via the mains or by old-fashioned mains power. You can also hook up your MP3 player if you want to use it as a speaker.
Available online, the Lexon Safe sells for £55.

We have featured specialist John Lewis-branded DAB radios in the past (the bedside DAB and the kitchen DAB to be specific), but the John Lewis Retro DAB radio is an all-rounder, complete with a budget price.
Retro by name and retro by design, an understated glossy case with metal grill, reminiscent of radios from a bygone age. But obviously with that very modern DAB digital radio reception, along with 20 presets, FM reception, a built-in clock and the option of battery or mains power.
Cheap enough at £29.95.
