This is a great thread. I used to own the brown and metal B&0 stuff. Never a brilliant sound though. I think the former Mrs Ambrose threw it out.

l've always liked old yank tanks with petrol stains down the side of the car and aussie versions of yank tanks like this one l photographed here

l have always wanted a car exactly like it...old, beaten up and petrol stained.

Other good ones:

They remind me of big gunboat shoes....ugly but completely awesome and full of character.

I have fond memories of whirling around on the family egg chair until I was sick, when I was a small child.

l don't like any of that nonsense, it's too modern and silly. Immitt (style forum poster) owns stuff like that.

Here's the type of stuff i've always gone gaga over; loved these babies since l was a kid. l'd love to own a dirty big yank tank with a big bold leather chesterfield bolted inside it for my car seat. Something about all those stud thingies that have always impressed me big time. Studs on seats are one of the finest inventions, l love how they look like they are almost going to burst.

Here's another little beauty, as good as it gets!

Can't remember. It's been a while.

Those were the days...one button jobs with a stick was always easy to handle. Now l believe many of the games have several buttons, far too much going on. l gave up games a long time ago because l got sick of going out.

I hated old style joysticks. It was like shaking hands with a cat. Shooey, I'm with you on the old beat up American cars.

BoB, I agree on the Rubber Co building. But that's what I like about it. I didn't think you'd like it.

Before that style became popular, I believe Martini glasses were more like this:

But I do like more the one you posted formby.

My father had one of those.

What year would that have been? They came out in 72.

I'm not sure exactly he certainly had it in the late 70's as I remember my brother spinning ELO's Out of the Blue album on it. It had a SME tonearm on it.

Had? They are still worth good money.

For Americana this is my fav:

Though I believe it was the car that caused my father to abandon Lincoln for Cadillac. Oh, well felt like a king riding in the back of that.

Formby, I will have several of those - shaken not stirred.

The Gaggia super-automatic one of the vew few things I cannot live without that I believe is also a style/design miracle.

My father passed away over a decade ago. He gave the turntable to my brother, I'm not sure whether he still has it. I got his watch a classic IWC which I never wear.

I always preferred the sound of CD myself much to his chagrin, hence his decision to leave it to my brother.
