It is the sound of living rooms where jazz records spun late into the night, where voices came through the air with presence and humanity, not compression. Paired beside it is the EICO HFT-90 FM Tuner, a companion piece that completes the picture – a reminder of a time when radio was not background noise, but an event. Together, they form a visual and historical symmetry that collectors seek but rarely find intact.
