Be The Talk of Megaton With This Awesome iPod Dock



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 [http://cgi.ebay.com/Audiophile-Vintage-Philco-Ipod-Dock-Speaker-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ150388779278QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVintage_Electronics_R2?hash=item2303dea90e#ht_2960wt_1165], and wouldn't look out of place in your Megaton home.

$9.99? Worldwide shipping? Fuck yeah, I'm buying that. It's actually cheaper than "proper" iPod docks and looks nicer.

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.

You could kill him.
Come over to the Dark Side!
I like it, but not enought to kill a guy.
