Radios are so useful. Talk shows, news, terrible pop music. All things you miss when you only listen to your own music. The Crosley Ranchero Radio is a cute vintage inspired table top radio and MP3 player.
The Ranchero comes in three colors, black, white, or a classic red. At first glance, it really does just look like a radio that you would find in your grandma’s attic or possibly in the kitchen. The radio portion receives both AM and FM stations. Oh, and there’s an input for plugging in your MP3 player, phone, or whatever device you use. Retro look, meet modern tech.
This radio looks like it belongs on the set of Mad Men but it can spend its days in your home. Really, it would look cool pretty much anywhere you set it, it bleeds cool, just like the 60s. You can listen to your own music while still having access to the morning traffic report before you even set foot into your car. The Crosley Ranchero Radio is currently on sale for $79.99.
A radio without presets? That means a lot of fiddling every time you change stations, even more so if you can’t remember the frequencies. A high price to pay for cool.
