    Someone on /r/BudgetAudiophile/ posted that they'd picked up a Tivoli Audio Model One, and in the comments, someone mentioned the "KLH 21". I'd never heard of that, so I searched for it on DDG and a page on this site was the first result:

    Somewhat related: A few weeks back, I watched The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. The movie features a pretty unique looking turntable in several scenes. It took me a little while to track down that it's a Braun Audio 310[1][2]. I think I found it by doing an image search for "turntable record player 1970 Germany" or some such and then just started scrolling through image after image of record player. It turns out its a turntable and radio combination.
