Wake up in Space Age style with this Flip radio alarm clock from Habitat.
Pill-shaped, made from plastic and in white and bright green, this clock wears its retro influences boldly. As well as the flip clock face, there's dials on the left for the tuning and volume of its radio.
Measuring 26cm long, it's currently selling for half of its original price at £17.50.

More retro-style electronics from Crosley, this time a clock radio alarm clock. Available from Urban Outfitters, this is fashioned to look like a vintage design.
Cased in red plastic, it does what it says on the box. There's a classic clock face, a large AM/FM radio dial and that all important alarm. If only getting up in the morning was so simple.
The clock costs £55.

We might have featured one of these before. If you missed that – or have never seen one before – this Braun RT20 radio is a very cool (and practical) thing to have around the house.
The work of Dieter Rams and Hans Gugelot around 1961, it still has a very contemporary edge to it, thanks to that non-nonsense modernist design. It picks up LW, MW and FM signals, with audio via that large built-in speaker.
There's some wear to the wooden and metal casing, but there doesn't look a lot, judging by the large number of images on the site. 64p is the current price, so cheap it's unheard of.

We have sung the praises of the humble stereogram or radiogram in the past, but there are certainly good and bad examples amongst the many that hit eBay. This Thorn Ultra stereogram in rosewood is one of the better examples.
That exterior alone must have made it a pricey affair 'back in the day' – looking not unlike a piece of Merrow Associates design. Inside you get three-band radio and I suspect, a decent deck – although the seller doesn't give too much detail on it.
Condition is described as 'very good' (bit check the images on the site to make sure) and the price is a Buy It Now of £125. The seller is also looking for offers, so you might get it cheaper.
This Transistor Radio print by Patrick Edgeley features a great retro subject matter given a stylishly retro treatment.
We've featured his work before, under his studio name Anti Graphic, with (of course) an equally retro subject matter, vintage kitchenware. This print is executed in a lively 1950s/60s style which reminds me of the work of poster artists of that period, such as Royston Cooper.
A reasonable investment too, as this limited edition silkscreen print costs £60.

The seller doesn't give much away in his description, so let us tell you that this is a 1960s Brionvega FD 1102 chrome radio.
As stylish as they come, it was designed by Marco Zanusso and Richard Sapper in 1969, with this particular model described as being in 'mint condition' and according to the seller, has probably never been used. It's sold as 'untested', so we don't know if those presets and volume controls on this chrome-clad radio work – if it's 'as new', we would presume so, but it's a shame the seller couldn't just turn it on before pitching it on eBay.
With a volatage adjuster included so it will function in the UK, Europe and USA, it's a steal right now at just £1 – especially for a radio that's long been out of production.
