I indulged in some retail therapy on the weekend, not often I do that, I'm a bit of a saver. Anyway, years ago, I would've been about 10, for Christmas I asked for a "cassette hi fi". It was a Bush cassette radio that my parents bought me, together with War Of The Worlds, on tape. I loved that thing but it broke not long after and had to go back. They couldn't fix it so I got a different one but it wasn't the same.
I've been searching for this model for years now and I did manage to find a few but they were in sorry states and not cheap. On Sunday, I Googled the model number again and one turned up and was listed as being in good condition and it wasn't expensive either.
I had to have it and today it arrived, made even before CDs became the thing. Now to find War Of The Worlds on tape. I have it on CD but obviously, can't play that on this.
This thing is almost 40 years old and all working. (IPhone pic)
(War of the Worlds now sourced and purchased on tape.)
I like retro things, I'm already thinking of my next aquisition, possibly a Raleigh Chopper, the real deal, not the newer version, or possibly a Honda Superdream.
Anybody else like retro things?
