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.

That's the oddest thing I seen today...

other than Silent Hill 4

Looks nice.

awesome.

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

Heh heh. Nice one. I like it. I don't actually have the iPod,but still - awesome.

Frankydee:
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

-M

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"?

I'd buy it. If I had money and an iPod.

i wonder if ipod touches fit...

Frankydee:
awesome.

What are you, gay?
Pink is manly as fuck.

You could kill him.
Come over to the Dark Side!

I like it, but not enought to kill a guy.

Anybody feel like listening to butcher pete right now?

Andalusa:

I like it, but not enought to kill a guy.

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

Come on, it's pink!

MaxTheReaper:

Come on, it's pink!

I don't really like the colour pink...

Andalusa:

I don't really like the colour pink...

I...I can't even look at you.
CALLING OFF THE WEDDING!

I must own it. I even have my Fallout 3 playlist ready!

MaxTheReaper:

I...I can't even look at you.
CALLING OFF THE WEDDING!

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

Andalusa:

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

Oh.
All is well!

*pats*
You are forgiven.
This time.

my Zune is jealous ... and kinda sad

MaxTheReaper:

Oh.
All is well!

*pats*
You are forgiven.
This time.

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.

Andalusa:
*snip*

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"?).

Lukeje:

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.

Ah; so I'm not going insane. Good to know...

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.

Andalusa:

I...I dunno.
Do you want to be?

I'm not good at holding grudges.

Have you been watching me?

MaxTheReaper:

awesome.

Pink is manly as fuck.

nothing against it, would just prefer it in something not.... pink.

Frankydee:

Uuuhhh-huuuuh.

I'm a'watchin' you, boy.
A'WATCHIN'!

MaxTheReaper:

Uuuhhh-huuuuh.

A'WATCHIN'!

O_o

*closes his blinds*

$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.

I want one. Now.

Am I the only one who read that as, "Megatron?"
