A little something for all the fans of pink and retro: the portable Studebaker stereo. It features a CD player, AM/FM radio, cassette player and a design that gives a “hint of that old Studebaker grill”.

There’s a drawer-type CD player with an excellent bass boost. It plays not only commercial CDs but also self-compiled CD-R/RW discs. It has a 20-track programmable memory. You can program up to 32 tracks on a disc for playback in any desired order. You can also program a specific track to play several times within the same program, and you can use the program and repeat features together to continuously repeat a programmed sequence of tracks.

Then there’s a cassette player and an AM/FM radio with analog tuning. The cassette player is also a recorder, and you can record directly from the CD player or from the radio. The unit has an Automatic Level Control circuit that controls the recording volume level and prevents overloaded and distorted recordings. A headphone jack is included, so you can listen in private.

The Studebaker Portable Stereo is available from First Street for $19.95.

Do you sometimes feel that you could need a little extra light when you are slipping that extra shrimp on the barbie? Maybe this weather-resistant Cordless LED Grill Light ($50) might be just the ticket.

The light attaches to a grill shelf with a heavy-duty 1″ mouth spring clamp, and it has a flexible 18″ neck adjustable to any angle so you can direct the powerful, bright white light of the four LEDs precisely where needed during after-dark grilling. Unlike standard bulbs, LEDs illuminate food without extra ambient glow that reflects off grill surfaces and obscures the color of steaks, chops, burgers, and ribs, making it more difficult to judge doneness. Each energy-efficient LED lasts 50,000 hours, more than 50 times the life of convent ional bulbs, and draws less energy, doubling battery life compared to other cordless lamps without excessive heat. Sturdy stainless steel and ABS plastic construction has been salt-spray tested to ensure rugged outdoor durability. Runs on three AA batteries (included). Wipes clean with a damp cloth. 9 1/2″ H x 4″ W x 14 1/2″ D. (2 lbs.)
