The 1970s Electronics Collector
Flickr Finds

The 1970s were a great time for post-midcentury modern gadges. Pieces like Weltron 8-track players and Toot-a-Loops were everywhere and the future was in. Unfortunately, we don't see much of these anymore. Most of them have ended up collecting dust or have settled in a landfill. Luckily for us, Flickr member Jessica Nicole is one of the few who have continued to embrace the space aged tradition and has generously shared her fanciful obsession with the gizmos of the time with the rest of us.

However, space aged tech doesn't work without a proper backdrop. According to Mid-Century Modernist, yellow Broyhill desk and plastic furniture can be found ~~in Dullsville, USA~~ (Good one, Stephen) pretty much anywhere. One can only guess what lengths Jessica must have gone through to find all of those tech goodies to begin with.

"Dullsville, USA" was a joke about the quality of today’s Broyhill furniture.

I really like this, especially with those new retro tvs they're supposedly making. This could work out really nice, except that its really hard to collect things just to collect when you live in an apartment. Cause if you have to move its such a pain in the the butt to haul this stuff.

Ooh, I've always wanted to get an Aquatron radio. Very nice collection.

My dad still has one of those radios on the bottom shelf in the last picture. It rotates so you can access the dial on the inside, and then rotates back together to form a handle. He used to listen to baseball games with it. I always thought it was the coolest thing when I was a kid!
