The wood and tweed-vinyl construction Crosley Nomad Portable Radio may look like an old radio from the 1930s, but under the hood, it’s all new. For starters, the portable sound system lets you connect your iPod or other MP3 player through a built-in AUX jack, so you won’t be stuck listening to over-the-air broadcasts.

And unlike its 75+ year old brethren, the Nomad tunes FM radio in addition to AM stations (how very . Sound from the Nomad’s full range speaker gets an added boost using SRS resonance enhancement. And you won’t have to plug this radio into the wall – it runs on 4 AA batteries so you can take it anywhere.

Just load your iPod up with old episodes of Little Orphan Annie, Amos ‘n Andy and the original broadcast of War of the Worlds, and you’ll be all set.

The Crosley Nomad is available exclusively from Urban Outfitters for $72 (USD).

The Crosley Keepsake USB Turntable not only lets you play back and listen to your old albums through its built-in stereo speakers, but includes a USB output. The portable player has speed settings for 33, 45 and 78 RPM records, so you’ll be able to convert just about any record you might have in your collection (unless you happen to own some really ancient 16 RPM discs). The player also includes the software you’ll need to convert and clean up your tracks in MP3 digital format.

While Ion has been making a similar USB turntable for a couple of years now, the Crosley bests that player in the style department for sure. The Crosley also doubles as a fully-functional sound system, while the Ion has no speakers or amplifier. You can find the Keepsake turntable at Brookstone for $149.99.
