With classic, elegant looks like these, who wouldn't want this 1970s Luxman T-33 tuner in their system? Courtesy of Vintage Chief.com.

 

 

Akai made some very nice reel-to-reel machines. Here's a 1970s 1722W. An ad for the deck states that it has "large 5 x 7 speakers" and a built-in phono amp, and is "instantly convertible to a full-bodied Public Address System!" Courtesy of Vintage Chief.com.

 

 

We'd be sure to choose this 1956 Philips radio also. After all, it's part of the Synchro-Magnétique Series!

 

 

Is it an electric shaver? No, it's a circa-1960s Lafayette FS-91 portable radio, packing a mighty complement of nine transistors. Courtesy of Joe Haupt/Wikimedia Commons.
