The lava lamp has to be one of them! 

Doesn't give out a lot of light once it's cooled down though plus it's a significant fire risk until it does. 

My mini transistor radio, in the early sixties, used to pick up Radio Luxembourg and then pirate radio.

My friend Brenda's Dansette portable record player, in 1960, and the first record I ever heard played on it - Travellin' Light, by Cliff Richard.  

Anyone have any photographs?

Yes i agree it was a radical change from the norm and a very retro item these days and again very reccognisable.An original would probably quite collectable these days.

v9

The V9(Peter) is from the 20th century, used as an aid for posting pictures onto 21st century social media like forums. Very useful after all those years from being first created. Very rare indeed(in fact unique)

The Dansette record player.Made from 1950/51 through to 1970 in quite a few different models and forever associated with the bedrooms of teenagers from the sixties
