It's (not) systematic, it's (not) hydromatic
Why, it's a Sinclair Micromatic!

My Sinclair Micromatic. This 1960s (!) "World's Smallest Radio" is absolutely tiny, as you can see from the earpiece next to it. Oh, and there's no way on earth that thing is going anywhere near my ear!

Absolute hero of mine. No business sense whatsoever but in terms of invention, a genius.

I don't (yet) have the micro-amplifier or Slimline but I did pick up the Micromatic a few years ago.

An estate sale nearby this weekend features a "vintage new old stock collection of Magnavox Micromatic turntables from 1961-1965". Looks like this is maybe a third of the total collection. Pretty cool.

“Yeah, she’s a Dukane Micromatic. Not as sleek as the knurled steel numbers but she gets me where I need to go (Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt).”
Picked something up that reminded me of 4th grade. Wanna join my A/V Club?

My dream came true today: we acquired a 1967 Magnavox Micromatic record player/radio console 🥹

It has been sooo difficult to find one like this, that wasn’t too big/too heavy/too expensive, and that actually works! The sound quality is heavenly, and the wood is gorgeous after a quick polish job 🤩

Takk til fulle folk som kjem heim frå fest og ikkje greier å passa på seg sjølv. Og eg har skaffa meg endå ein livslang nemesis i selskapet Micromatic.

Aaaand some bad news from Micromatic, a major vendor of tap/draft/keg systems, which said in a memo to customers last week that tariffs have raised its costs an average of 17% and forced it to raise its prices by July:

Yeah the Z1 Micro which amazingly came out in 1999. The Micromatic is a beauty!

@eops.bsky.social so we have inherited Maria's Dad's ancient record player and a bunch of his records - both the player and the records need some TLC - a lot of the records are loose without sleeves - what would be the best way to safely store them?

These little plate folders are neat. I’m still waiting on one with the kalart RF and fitting for the kalart micromatic flash. For research of course..

I have a large collection of sinclair stuff! I'm missing a C5 because i dont have the room! The MK14, the fm watch, and fm radio that was very similar to the micromatic because they go for silly money and they are collectibles that the price will crash at some point .

Next up on our Japanese-style pour service, Otto by Around the Bend on Micromatic Swing Lever. This is one of my favorite lagers of the year, originally destined for the Lukr, but it pours really well as a Sharp Pour. The "Matsuo" Pour Twice is a real treat as well.
