Picking up one of these tomorrow, purportedly in decent shape. Mario Bellini's Yamaha tc-800 is literally a museum piece. I don't really care about cassette players per se but I really like vintage industrial design. It'll get very occasional use, but it will sit next to a Musical Fidelity a-1 on a shelf in my den, looking cool.
Any other vintage items that just look right to you, such that their looks may actually trump (somewhat) their empirical sound quality? These two do it for me.
