I saw this, and the other 70s-ized versions of modern items the other day.  I really want them as posters... And the items themselves would be good...

I found similar ones at flea markets and electronics surplus stores, and  I haven't found any I liked.  Very tinny audio, and lots of hissing and popping.

The artist did a great job capturing the feel of those old 70's ads.

I remember in elementary school they had these tan colored record players with these yellow huge can headphones. Had two 1/4" headphone plugs. One for the left, the other for the right. They sounded like crap but would still love to have a set. I'd gut them and put in modern speakers if you can.
