  cap apply. Welcome to 70x80, the section of 7080
• 0:58
  .it that deepens the topics dealt with on the
• 1:01
  portal. I'm with the journalist Enzo Mauri, who
• 1:04
  introduces the topic today. Good morning, today
• 1:07
  I'm talking to you about strange devices from
• 1:08
  the past. In the past, when there was no current
• 1:12
  technology, the big brands, with the contribution
• 1:14
  of a crazy designer, went crazy in the attempt
• 1:17
  to make sound devices, radio and television,
• 1:21
  easy to transport. From the radio to the TV and
• 1:23
  the turntables, really curious products appeared
• 1:26
  on the market with the intention of attracting
• 1:27
  the attention of consumers. They probably succeeded,
• 1:31
  even if they often did not get the success that
• 1:33
  companies expected. For example, in the early
• 1:35
  70s, the banana -shaped turntable was put on
• 1:39
  the market, which thanks to a practice of gluing
• 1:40
  could be carried everywhere. It seems that the
• 1:43
  shape was inspired by the painting by Andy Warhol,
• 1:46
  which made the debut album of the Velvet Underground
• 1:49
  and Nico, released in 1967. As he recited, the
• 1:53
  advertising manifesto, the discs could be listened
• 1:56
  to in any position. The 45 laps was blocked by
• 2:00
  a spring clamp and the armrest literally waved
• 2:02
  the soles, a bit like traditional turntables,
• 2:05
  so much so that it was heavy and counterbalanced.
• 2:21
  The Tuta Loop Radio, or Panasonic R -72, was
• 2:25
  produced in 1972. Designed as a radio to wrap
• 2:28
  around the wrist, it could be customized with
• 2:31
  the appropriate stickers. It received only stations
• 2:33
  in AM, while the subsequent RF -72 model also
• 2:37
  those in FM. The portable radio had the shape
• 2:40
  of a bell with a lot of central hole. The smaller
• 2:42
  half separated from the large one forming an
• 2:45
  S. The tuner was inside. so the radio had to
• 2:49
  be open to be tuned. The volume, on the other
• 2:52
  hand, was external, so it could be adjusted with
• 2:54
  the radio both open and closed. The Tuta Loop
• 2:56
  was available in various colors, white, red,
• 2:59
  blue, yellow, lemon and orange. It also had an
• 3:01
  external jack for the mono earpiece. Thank you.
• 3:17
  Thank you. Thank you. The Supermicro Secret Batradio
• 3:55
  was nothing more than a transistor -equipped
• 3:59
  mini device with a keychain with the pipistrello
• 4:02
  emblem on both sides and an auricular one. Today
• 4:05
  it is highly sought after by collectors, valued
• 4:07
  at around $ 2 ,000. Become a true object of worship
• 4:11
  over the years, the Predicta was produced by
• 4:12
  the American Philco between 1958 and 1960. It
• 4:17
  was a black and white TV with a 17 or 21 -inch
• 4:20
  screen and it was the first TV to the world with
• 4:23
  the rotating screen, not exactly portable and
• 4:26
  suitable for the home environment, although lighter
• 4:28
  than the other commercial models. The iconic
• 4:31
  design conferred made it immediately popular
• 4:33
  thanks to the particular protective plastic in
• 4:36
  greenish tint with which the glass was coated.
• 4:38
  The Predicta also had a thinner telescope than
• 4:41
  many other televisions of the time, which led
• 4:44
  it to be marketed as the most futuristic television.
• 4:50
  The perfect combination of size, color, and design
• 4:53
  for today's televiewing needs. The screen swivels
• 4:57
  a full 350 degrees. And you get the best performance
• 5:01
  yet in a TV consulate. Tyler Reddick here from
