Vintage Style Radio by The Design Town
For a Sunday dose of vintage geek, I thought I'd share these pastel vintage-chic radios which I spotted on GeekAlerts. Unlike other radios which appear retro on the outside but are mp3 players on the inside, this radio is totally old school. With an AM/FM radio, top handle, a telescopic antenna and knobs for adjusting the volume and frequency, it doesn't get any more vintage geek-chic than this.

Last Minute Gift: Vintage Inspired Radios
I stumbled across the Almost Vintage Miniature Radio series after about a week of obsessing over cool old school radios. At $25 they're a total steal and an unexpected throwback gift that will likely be a hit with gramps, pops or even your kid sister. The three devices below were modeled on tabletop Bakelite originals from the 40s and 50s, and has all the usual AM/FM radio features.
Vintage Geek: Radio-Cassette Corders
The other night I met up with some of my childhood friends at a cute club in the Mission in San Francisco. As we watched the slightly-less exciting third act (our friend spinned with the second act so we might have been a little biased) our conversation turned to the hilarious mix tapes we used to make one another when we were kids. While we didn't use anything like the AIWA Radio-Cassette Corder, which was made in 1976, we were definitely rocking similar technology - recording from CDs and other cassette tapes onto a cassette tape and sometimes, if we were feeling especially into it, recording personal jokes between songs.
Walkman Radio Wristlet Brings Sexy Vintage Back
Don't be fooled by this retro mini boombox wristlet by Loop Design. It may look like it's from the early eighties, but with working speakers, this case is tiny and mighty.
For only $14, you can use it as a cute pouch for your mp3 player or hook up your iPod to the speakers for a jam session!
Cath Kidston Floral Digital Radio: Love It or Leave It?
I am unapologetically behind the declaration that I consider myself a girly-girl. I don't always love pink gadgets, but I don't always hate them either. But I have a line.
