The Funky Seventies


During the seventies, items often had funky designs
and were super colorful.
One of my favorite was the Weltron model 2001
space ball radio with 8-Track.

At the bottom of the swiveling base is a giant rubber suction cup,
making the radio extremely stabil on a smooth surface.
Although it has a handle which makes it mobile, it is quite heavy.
It's round form and the chrome ring gives it a spaceman look.

Weltron sold a few other models. A rectangular-shaped
radio/8-track set is fairly common, usually at
lower prices than this unusual model.
