Retro Gadgets That Have Gone High-Tech

Xi Jukebox ($11,000)
Remember pumping change into the jukebox at sock hops? Neither do we. But we’ve seen both Happy Days and Back to the Future, and jukeboxes looked kinda cool. Problem is, when you find one now, they’re typically packed with all the latest hits from Tony Orlando, Captain & Tennille, and KISS … when they did their solo projects. In other words, the jukes are hopelessly outdated. Enter the Xi. In a nutshell, it’s a gigantic iPod dock. But with a 300-watt amp, three-way speakers, an LCD screen, and groovy lights whose colors you control, it’s a pretty bitchin’ iPod dock.
