Be The Talk of Megaton With This Awesome iPod Dock

image

Sleek, white and oh so sterile, most iPod docks are a little joyless, but it doesn't have to be that way, as this retro-futuristic mash up shows.

Retro-Futurist, Atompunk or even Ray Gun Gothic; it doesn't matter what you call it, this iPod dock is probably coolest you're likely to see in a long time. Built into an old piece of audio test equipment, the dock can also be used as a regular speaker, or have a guitar plugged into it.

Creator Pete Verrando is a sound production recorder who has been restoring and building audio devices "since his teen years" created the dock out of a 63 year old Philco Dynamic Tester which was apparently "just a small amplifier/speaker combination with an external probe for fixing audio equipment."

The dock has gone up on ebay, and wouldn't look out of place in your Megaton home.

awesome.

I'd like one, if it wasn't pink. Or is that the reflection?

Yeah it looks like it's reflecting the colors around it.

$9.99? Worldwide shipping? Fuck yeah, I'm buying that. It's actually cheaper than "proper" iPod docks and looks nicer.

Now this would make one kick ass Xmas gift for someone! I love when stuff like this is created //Reminds me of the steampunk arcade machiene that was talked about here a little while ago

I so want one... I'll be watching this, see how exspensive it gets and be really jealous of the person who eventually gets it.

Might I suggest the term "Gernsbackian"?

Pink is manly as fuck.

What would you do for an iPod Dock?
Would you...would you kill a guy?
(yes)

Come on, it's pink!

I'm sorry... If it was purple, then I probably would kill a guy for it.

You keep saying that...
Will I ever be unforgiven?

I'll check back on it in 9 days, see how crazy the bidding goes.

That's pretty damn awesome; I do wonder what it sounds like though. After all, auristics must come above aesthetics when it comes to speakers.

Off-topic I know, but did you change your name? The cat looks familiar (as do the the interactions with MtR), but I can't place the name (I keep thinking "Ula"?).

I did change my name, and you're thinking right.

Nice, but I don't like Fallout enough to spend the cash for it. I almost never use iPod docks anyways.

I would almost buy an ipod just to go along with this dock, if my zune hadn't served me so well. Oh, and if I weren't such a cheap ass.

I'm not good at holding grudges.

$20.50 at the moment. $14.99 shipping within the US, but $59 international?! Hot damn.

I might bid on this on the last day, depending on the price. I don't have an iPod, but them's just details.
