    The Fanttik has been getting good reviews for a cordless micro screwdriver, if I'm doing my math correctly it's around $37 USD with flash $3 off and 11% first time order, normally 80 bones. The Roytoa is also getting good reviews, I haven't jumped onto these yet but they look like a lot of fun. These are the small ones, there's even a step up that might be good for things like component cases, speaker screws, etc if you don't want to pull out the big Makita.

    Sorry this is ugly and expensive but a cool piece of history. In the USA satin was the rage around the end of the 1970's with the cool celebrities wearing shiny jackets of the material.

    That tape player above does look amazing. Just wish the audio quality of those devices was better.

    New Wave Toys Replicade, the guys that made the Mini JVC M90's, have some cool mini arcades that might be sized close to the TTs above. Check online for collectors setting up mini arcade rooms.

    I forgot to say I love 1942, I was big into MAME back in the very early days, this and 10 Yard Fight are still easy playable fun.

    A rare Sharp System 5000, this looks like the lower level model for the series of two. There was a short time in the 80's where thin stereos were in, I guess to wall mount. These would look really neat paired with a modern flat-screen TV.

    For the early boombox collectors, a rare 1974 Bigston. I just posted an ad for it in the newspaper ad thread, it was $64.95 USD back then which was very competitive against similar Sony's, Toshiba's or Hitachi's. The construction does look like something from Hong Kong, the others definately had better builds just looking at it here.

    Found some heads for sale, the website looks kind of old so who knows if they're still around.
