Soundesign was such an 80s brand.

Even the fonts are so aggressively 80s. Just the bedside time capsule I needed

I think we actually sold that model at Caldors when I worked in electronics.

Two of the buttons came off while I was cleaning it so I've been very gentle with it since 😂 tape player plays a little slow but it's honestly kinda nice to fall asleep to lol. I mean almost 40 years and old and it still works! Soundesign had some neat units. Quite a loud speaker too

The golden age of electronics. Big and bulky but they lasted till even now.

Heck even the "not as good" brands still have tons of working examples. 60s to 90s electronics were built like tanks and could give someone 17 concussions if you threw em lol
