I never lived in the 70's and I never seen such wooden TV in person. But looking at pictures it feels so good. I also want to have something like this.

I wonder if there's a market for custom cabinets in which to mount a modern TV with those sorts of beveled panels and round columns and other such things.
Sadly, I think a cabinet made like that, even completely empty, would cost more than some of the television sets I have found... wood prices are stupidly expensive in the US right now. Couple that with the enormous amount of custom wood work... Probably looking at $600 to make a profit... and I just don't see anyone willing to spend that much for a knock-off. An empty one at that.

So, what about you, what "things" take your mind back to the 80's? Besides the totally radical TV and music of the era. ?
What takes me back to the '80s is the threat of nuclear war, depressing synth music and early albums by Public Enemy, Beastie Boys and Run DMC. Hip-hop was the only decent music of that decade for me.

What screams "80's" for me is cable boxes with per channel tuning adjustments.
We had one of those on top of our ginormous (Because of the giant wooden case.) "console TV."
I used it to watch Music Videos be born... "I heard you wumble while back in '52, if I was young that didn't stop from coming through..."
I still can't figure out the lyrics. Also, I still think the girl in the tube looks like the Moon girls in the Moon Base in "UFO."

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent on tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a-oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine, a new technology
And now I understand the problems you could see
Oh-a-oh
I met your children
Oh-a-oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a-oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-a-oh
You were the first one
Oh-a-oh
You were the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh-a-a-a-oh
Oh-a-a-a-oh
*instrumental break*
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR
You are a radio star
You are a radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

(You are a radio star) video killed the radio star
