Polaroid SX-70 Peanuts 75th Anniversary Instant Camera

Described exactly as purchased. Packaged safely and delivered right on time. This was an accidental purchase. Even though Good Morning, Vietnam is not one of my favorite movies, I still enjoy Robin Williams' performance as Adrian Cronauer. As for the soundtrack itself, I love the comedic bits of Adrian that were featured in the movie. I also liked some the songs on here too. Overall, I enjoy this soundtrack. And this cassette is a nice edition to my collection.

Good Morning Vietnam (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Cassette Tape

Described exactly as purchased. Packaged safely and delivered right on time. I used to own this video when I was seven years old. And now to have it again over thirty years later, is very nostalgic for me. But still, I'm very happy with my purchase. Thank you.

Retro dis a fan-tas-tic job on my camera! Not only was the work well done but the effort put into to the box and retro instructions was over the top!

The headphones are very okay, which is also exactly what I was looking for. They are not great, but they are perfect.

What a joy to be able to replicte something like CDs that represent the best times of my life. I love Blondie..

Blondie - The Best Of Blondie CD

I had been struggling to master my Now+ Polaroid and decided I needed to go with the SX 70. Just an intuition. Did not want to give up on Polaroid. The SX 70 arrived in a lovely box, well packaged. I installed my protective shield and put in my first film pack. Before I even captured any images, I felt joy - the wide-eyed Christmas morning of a child joy. After my first image, life just kept getting better. Love this camera! It is just lovely - works beautifully. Would highly recommend Retrospekt.

Polaroid SX-70 Original Chrome Instant Camera

I recently bought a grade A refurbished Sony Sports Walkman WM-F73 from Retrospekt. Not knowing much about the company and the price tag much higher then it was in the late 80's lol I definitely felt like I was taking a gamble despite Retrospekt's reviews being good... From the time I ordered, Retrospekt kept me in the loop the entire way from start to finish and my walkman showed up sooner then I had anticipated. It arrived professionally packaged and protected in a cool Retrospekt box that you would expect a high end electronic item to show up in. Honestly the Walkman blew me away and looked brand new. Every piece was on the machine including the belt clip at the input jack protector which are almost always missing. Besides the flawless cosmetics it worked perfectly!!. play, fast forward, stop, rewind all if it including the radio. I could go on... all of sudden I realized I owned a piece of working pop culture history that nobody else probably owns in this condition, so the price of the machine actually seemed meaningless. If your looking for favorite electronic item from your childhood purchase from here and do not hesitate or someone else will get it. I will definitely purchase from Retrospek again. Great job to everyone at the company.. William in Lake Geneva WI.

Sony Sports Walkman WM-F73 AM/FM Portable Cassette Player

I am "Old School" and enjoy Sony Walkman(s), Onkyo Receiver(s), Technics Turntable, and my JC Dual Cassette Recorder (TD-W805). Lost my Sansui 9090 several years ago when it fried itself to a mess. This is my 3rd Walkman I purchased from you, One is still working and the other totally went "blank screen". You folks did not seem interested in allowing me to send it back for another round of repair, so I tossed it. Wasn't happy but it is what it is. This replacement unit is working just fine and I hope it will last for another 4-5 years. Too bad Sony got out of the analog world. There is something to be said for the mechanical tape decks and portable CD and Cassette players. My Panasonic SL-SX270 still works even though the spring lid opener cratered. I do get stares from the Gen Y, Z, and Gen Alpha folks when I am in a waiting room or walking for exercise in the neighborhood. Appreciate you fold finding and restoring these units.

My son loved it. He was so excited that it is an original item (he’s 19). Gen-Xer here - I found the packaging and detailed refurbishment to be very thoughtful, precise and impressive. Beautiful work. The stickers included were a nice touch and appreciated, too. Thank you!

Polaroid B&W SX-70 Instant Film

I finally took it out of the box and put a cassette in that I hadn't heard in many years. It is crystal clear and very steady in the playback. I still had memories of a worn-out Sony Walkman that wasn't steady and there were no cassette players by that point. But THIS cassette play IS rock steady and sounds great!
