Imagine doing DJ duty at your next party with this teal player, à la Holly Golightly. Just don't forget to turn it down before the police arrive.
This reminds me of the drum of typewriters in a publishing house, and secretaries wearing sherbet-colored twinsets, just like in the movie The Best of Everything.
The classic payphone, in superhero red. Clark Kent probably called the farm from the local soda shop on a number like this.
P.S. I'm still on vacation, but have so many wonderful things to share next week,INCLUDING a trip through an Atlanta flea market with the fabulous Eddie Ross! Stay tuned!

Too funny. My kids saw a payphone and asked if I had ever used one, like I was from The Jetson's or something!
I wonder when UO will start selling CD players and big-box TVs as retro? :)
G - that's terrible :) Did you have to explain what a landline was too?
Averill, probably tomorrow. Or maybe they'll start marketing "classic" ipod.
I used to write a newspaper column and used a typewriter, whenever I see one, it makes me chuckle. Re-writes and re-writes the old way (put a new sheet in and start over)and no spellcheck! Your post gave me a good memory.
can't wait to hear about the flea market! and i've definitely used a pay phone and hated every minute of it.
You mean I can go in there and buy those??!! I LOVE them! I'm into retro big time.
