OMG! My parents first all in one system! I remember it clearly back in the day. It was the 70's and this one of the "Kids' Do NOT Touch!" things in the house. My sister, the more rebellious of us both, did defy my parents, and often sneaked a listen to the sound system. I personally thought my parent's older system, a Grundig table console sounded FAR better, but that unit was old and we were allowed to listen to that. However, it didn't play records and my sister would sneak a listen to the Longines Symphonette unit. That is, until her luck ran out one day and she broke the needle! Man, I can't tell you how pissed off my father was! Oh yeah, she was heavily grounded too!
These clocks are known as the German Time Bomb! Because even unwound are known to explode without warning! Just type German Time Bomb into google! and under images. AND SEE WHAT COMES UP.
I have this model, its near-indestructable. Took a prodigious amount of abuse including hard falls without incurring too much damage; finally a 10-ft fall off a ladder onto concrete took it out of the game. Still kinda works.
Nice piece buddy there is a guy on youtube that installed a LED color screen with real sega after burner video game works with this set up of course he did some mod work to make it work its pretty cool
My mother bought me this model radio as an early graduation gift... it had a fantastic sound for the time.. i let a friend convince me to sell it to him and I regret it to this day.. thx for posting this video... it brought back many memories...
The artist is a famous silversmith named Frank Zimbelli (I think that’s how you spell his last name). His pieces are highly sought after and often sell on eBay for at least $200 each. There other videos on RU-vid that demonstrate the music boxes he made playing their songs. Each piece was hand made and hammered by hand and so no two are exactly alike.
The coolest thing is that in the TV Series "Space 1999", they used these TVs (or a modified one) to make their "Commlock hand held communications device look like they had video communications. I think when they'd show close-ups of the Commlock, they actually showed the TR-001 screen in the actors hand, covering up the bulkier part of the TV.
