Does anyone remember the "suck face" series of components from Luxman? I was a dealer and these were pretty different.

Given that this was introduced as a fun thread, and based on a liberal interpretation of the word "receiver," I’ll nominate the cobalt blue mirrored Sparton Nocturne radio, ca. 1936. It was designed (in terms of appearance) by a noted industrial designer named Walter Dorwin Teague, and is considered to be an iconic example of art deco industrial design. Very few are known to exist, and on the rare occasion when one appears for sale I believe they go for something like $50K. Best regards, -- Al P.S: The photo doesn’t provide an indication of its size; it is about 4 feet in diameter. |
I've owned a few (4?) over the years...and kept going back to them. Pioneer sx-1280: http://cigh.net/SX1280thumbs/IMG1.JPG Considering what people want for them these days, I'm not likely to have another. Too much hassle. That Spartan Nocturne is very nice. Making copies with extreme analog fidelity (no digital or digital RF hook ups!!!) (get off yer butt!) would very likely turn good business. |
