Fuse Vert Vertical Vinyl Record Player
If Don Draper owned a Bluetooth record player, this would be it. The Fuse Vert takes mid-century cool and quite literally flips it on its side, mounting your vinyl vertically for full display while playing it with Audio-Technica precision.
Wrapped in genuine ashtree wood veneer, it features three-speed playback, FM radio, Bluetooth 5.3, and even an alarm clock. This isn’t just a player, it’s a sculptural statement that fuses form and function for the analog romantic who still likes to stream.
TRENBADER Retro Bluetooth Radio Speaker
It looks like something your grandfather would have proudly kept on the workbench, but this one pairs with your iPhone. With a wood frame, full-range speaker, and a mode dial straight out of a mid-century hi-fi, it’s the perfect gift for anyone who wants vintage radio energy with Bluetooth clarity.
Bonus: the bass hits harder than you’d think.
