Know an electrician? If you do, there's a good chance you can bring this 1950s Decca Stereogram back to life. The 'looks' are already taken care of.

Kidrobot’s All City Breakers – collectable old school hip hop figures
Remember we all used to collect football stickers, blindly buying them on the off-chance of getting the ones we wanted? That all stopped when we grew up. Although there is now an adult equivalent – Kidrobot's All City Breakers.
Beetles and Stones T-Shirt by Invisible Friend
Having mentioned the Beatles and Rolling Stones exhibitions coming to Proud Galleries soon yesterday, it seems a good time to feature this Beetles and Stones T-Shirt by Invisible Friend.
“A Visual Compendium of Notable Haircuts in Popular Music” Print
Pop Chart Lab’s mission is to render the world in the form of charts, covering a wide range of popular culture subjects, my favourite being this one.
“A Visual Compendium of Notable Haircuts in Popular Music” is a limited edition print that as the name clearly states offers illustrations of music’s most memorable styles. The illustrations are just of the hair (including facial hair where applicable) without faces, but they are all pretty easy to recognise – although initial and surname are given below just in case. As you would expect McCartney’s mop top, Ziggy Stardust era Bowie and Morrissey’s quiff are in there, but with plenty of others too. The print measures 18 by 24 inches and has been signed by the artists.
Buy it online from the Pop Chart Lab priced $25.
The Smiths limited edition Complete Collector’s Boxset on Rhino
Morrissey continues to get the headlines (for better or worse) some 30 years or so after the group formed, but very soon, you'll be able to re-discover just why he came to prominence in the first place – by grabbing The Smiths Complete Collector's Boxset on Rhino.
It's impressive. Even if you have all the original albums in your collection, you'll be tempted by this. As long as you are a Smiths fan, that is. The collection has been 'reworked' by Johnny Marr and Rhino UK, with the set including all four of the band's studio albums (The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead and Strangeways, Here We Come) plus live album Rank and compilations Hatful Of Hollow, The World Won’t Listen and Louder Than Bombs. Each has been taken back to original tape sources and remastered by Johnny Marr at Metropolis Studios in London.
Guitar Headstock Mugs
Invisible Friend has designed this set of four Guitar Headstock Mugs.
Each of the mugs feature illustrations of iconic guitars: Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Stratocaster and Rickenbacker 330. They are recreated in bright pop art colours against a neutral background. An ideal way for a budding guitar hero to take his (or her) tea.
The set of four mugs costs £29.50, available exclusively from Not on the High Street.
