Retro Jukebox iPod Dock Costs Over 10 G's

by Dan Reilly on August 23, 2008 at 04:09 PM


As gadgets get more advanced, they tend to get smaller. Some people, however, still yearn for the past when bigger still meant better. If you fall into that category, you might want the Xi Jukebox, a 1950's looking iPod dock that's made for any fans of the Fonz.

The size isn't just for looks, though. Inside this handcrafted baby you get an Mk7 Twin channel amplifier that cranks out 150 watts per channel via two tweeters, two mid range speakers, and a 12" twin cone bass speaker. There's also an LED screen that plays videos and shows album art and photos, and this beast also comes with light tubes that change color depending on your preference.

The catch with all this is the price, which is currently set at £5,800 (about $10,700 US). It's all made in England too, so you might not be able to get one of here either, as they weigh almost 300 pounds. The worst part is that it doesn't take any money, so you can't get your guests to slowly pay it off with quarters and singles. [Source: OhGizmo!]
