I was just about to say that they sell them at Urban Outfitters but I see you've noticed that! <img src=" title="Very Happy" border="0"/>

My friend has one! They are amazing. Especially if you just go mental with it and have a mini-rave to yourself with a general look of confusion on your face.
Or maybe that's just me. [image]

hahahaha ... I hope they use Bret's beard as an instrument on their next album. I think they missed a good opportunity with "
Friends."

The two keyboards special!

A small one next to Nigel, but it's larger than the one in the show:

The large keyboard is a [url=Wurlitzer][/url]. :#aziz#:

I think it's just called Stylophone.

The keyboards post reminded me of the [url=synthesizers][/url]:

[image]

[image]

The one on the right is [url=Minimoog][/url] (the funny thing is that it's the instrument from the 70s - "
We're not from the 70s! We're from New Zealand!"
- [image] it was about clothes, actually).

What about the black one?

Don't know, but there's [url=this post][/url], which doesn't look like either...looks more like the Wurlitzer.

The tape recorder replaced Bret in S1 episode 2

[image]

and played an important part in S2 the Prime Minister episode

[image]

Does anyone know what recorder this is? Probably also from the 70s [image] .

This would be much easier to figure out if they hadn't taped up the brand name. XD

Yes, brilliant observation. But can I go a little off topic here...I always loved how Bret takes his job as secret service impersonator so seriously, his face is priceless, but now I'm laughing even more realizing he STILL has to wear the geeky sweater (deer crossing his chest) under the MIB jacket. Ya just can't take the Bret out of him.

AND it's the same sweater from the Inner City Pressure video in S1ep2 (see the caps with the synthesizers or the flute) [image] .

Upon closer examination, the vintage stereo looks a bit like this Panasonic one from either the late 70s or early 80s.
[url=There's one on ebay that's very similar.][/url]

And I did not just spend the last hour looking up old boomboxes. >
