For some reason, the pict-rs instance on lemmy.today would not accept the jpg image that sag had uploaded. I'd have to convert it to an inefficiently-stored format or recompress it and lose quality, so I used Tineye to track down a copy of the original, so you're getting a high-resolution image rather than what sag originally uploaded here.

The original image was no longer accessible on piefed.social, but I pulled it back out of archive.org's Wayback Machine and rehosted it on lemmy.today's pict-rs instance.

Released in 1984 this stereo radio cassette recorder has speakers which are moveable, removable and act as it's battery compartments.

Something I would definitely not have a need for, but it looks pretty cool. They various types of configurations.

It was like holding the future in your little 10 year old hands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattel_Auto_Race

Mattel Electronics Auto Race was released in 1976 by Mattel Electronics as the first handheld electronic game to use only solid-state electronics; it has no mechanical elements except the controls and on/off switch. Using hardware designed for calculators and powered by a nine-volt battery, the cars are represented by red LEDs on a playfield which covers only a small portion of the case. The audio consists of beeps. George J. Klose based the game on 1970s racing arcade video games and designed the hardware, with some hardware features added by Mark Lesser who also wrote the 512 bytes of program code.

The artist says:

Here's a crt prop that started off studying forms n flow of hardsurfacing that turned into a homage to aliens! texture wise I'm pretty happy with how the overall look came out and if there was one thing I would want to work on more it would be the back detail of the crt.

Some info from Wikipedia

Initially (1988–89), the Reatta featured a touchscreen computer interface, marketed as the Electronic Control Center (ECC), that included radio and climate control functions, date reminder, trip computer and user-configurable overspeed alarm, as well as diagnostic access to the vehicle's electronic systems and sensors. Later models were equipped with conventional push-button stereo and climate controls. The new system eliminated the trip computer functionality and the climate control buttons could access diagnostic information, replacing the diagnostic scanner capability formerly provided by the touchscreen.
