Sold for: £14
A collection of vintage consumer electronics, telecommunications devices, and media dating primarily from the late 20th century. The group features a silver Technika portable DVD player, a Crown Japan stereo cassette player model CS-11 with accompanying orange foam-padded headphones, and a Vivitar IC 101 focus-free 35mm camera in its original packaging. Also included is a Logik wedge-shaped digital alarm clock radio, a mirrored Philips digital clock radio, and a silver-toned projector clock. The lot contains two novelty telephones: a red plastic car-shaped phone marked Betacar, and a reproduction pedestal-style telephone with a yellow body and brass-effect hardware.
The media component comprises a silver Thomsun cassette storage case containing approximately twelve tapes, and a black soft-sided carrying case with an assortment of music cassettes and a Sony Video8 P5-90SR tape. Two white boxed media sets featuring period drama artwork are also present. The items feature various printed marks including Crown Japan Stereo Cassette Player Model CS-11, Technika, Logik, Vivitar, and Thomsun. A yellow adhesive label on the pedestal phone and a white label on the DVD player are not transcribed as they appear to be vendor markings.
