Great old gear

I am fascinated with vintage electronics. Here are some of my dearest treasures:

Salora 810V tube radio

Manufactured in Salo, Finland, in 1954. The best possible reproduction of pre-sixties music. Looks marvellous, a lot of wood.

Asa 3300 Hifi Studiotrio

A flat, black hifi ensemble, manufactured in Salo, Finland, in the late seventies. Surprisingly powerful (55W). Great for 70's and 80's vinyl and C cassettes.

Creamsound CS-1/6 guitar amplifier

Very few of these were manufactured in Vantaa, Finland, some time in the '90s, I think. Less than 10 watts. A sound that takes you straight back into the '50s. You can hear this amp in some of the latest recordings of a Finnish band called Egotrippi.

Just in case: not for sale.
