Illuminated Microphone

SKU:
$118.00
$118.00
Unavailable
Our most popular creation, with a full-range dimmer switch allowing fine adjustments to light levels from barely visible to cheerily bright.  The bulb is pleasantly warm and bright, and the dissipation of the light provided by the microphone grille is very easy on the eye.

This object is immensely popular with numerous musicians, studios and music venues.  If you find yourself irresistibly tempted to sing into it when it is on, you will not be the first.  Recent informal studies show that it increases singing ability by 27%.
​
The base is weighted, and is finished on the bottom with a durable pressed foam neoprene rubber to protect surfaces.  The grille screen is held securely in place with fasteners which may be unscrewed to allow for replacement of the bulb, some 3,000 hours of operation in the future.

All electrical materials used are certified, and all connections are mechanical for safety and durability. The unit has been thoroughly tested for reliability and soundness.​

Illuminated Radio Speaker

$345.00
The Illuminated Radio Speaker is a 1920s vintage antique repurposed to feature four 40w Edison spiral-filament bulbs arranged in its center interior. Copper tubing along the interior rim runs the wiring to the switch, and adds a pleasant dash of color. A small rotary knob rheostat switch at the top controls the level of light, from quite bright to just barely visible.

This Illuminated Object is utterly unique; it is constructed from a 1928 Newcombe-Hawley Model 73 Drum Reproducer from the early days of radio. You will find no other like it.

Both the front screen and the rear cover are removable, allowing you to determine the best look for your particular space. Removing the rear cover allows light to be cast from both sides, ideal for an open shelf or interior wall cut-out space.

The device measures 19" tall, 16" wide, and 9" deep, and is made entirely of metal with some crackling and a few scratches in the finish, testament to its long journey to the present. All electrical materials used are UL approved, and all connections are mechanical for safety and durability. All pre-existing wiring and electronics have been removed or disabled. Old can be excellent, but not for electricity, as Dr. White says.

Illuminated Telephone

$225.00
Lift receiver to illuminate; the dial adjusts brightness. Hang up to turnoff. A fascinating object, and an excellent nightstand light - no fumbling about for a switch in the dark, simply lift the receiver. The Doctor keeps one by the bed.

The dial may be used to both adjust light level and to switch the unit on and off. We recommend setting the light to your preferred level, and using the receiver to turn the light on or off.

The telephone itself is an authentic reproduction of phones of this era, with all metal construction. All electronics (wiring, switches, dimmer, hardware) are certified and it is fully tested for reliability and functionality. It features a single warm-toned 25w candelabra base Edison bulb. The mouthpiece holding the bulb is adjustable to different angles up or down.

It is an outstanding conversation piece (if you will kindly pardon the pun), casts a warm candlelight color, and an outstanding piece for any room or office.

All electrical materials used are certified, and all connections are mechanical for safety and durability. The unit is fully tested for soundness and reliability.
