No doubt. Me thinks that the radio manufacturers are missing a market in
nostalgic items, especially if they can offer at least a moderate degree
of
performance. As those of us that are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s age, we
would
make ideal purchasers especially if they can market the items like "mom's
apple pie", from a seemingly more innocent age when radio ruled supreme.
Regards.
It's a niche market now, but it could develop beyond that. Most of today's
common radios are commidity items(not the most of the radios of interest to
this group) , there's little to distinguish one from another besides price.
Maybe they will try to compete more on cosmetics. That's how things were in
the AA5 era, when nearly all the table radios had the same performance, and
they competed on price and appearance. And the retro look market is growing
for alot of products now.
