The Spirit of Saint Louis dock marries the sturdy military craftsmanship of a WWII battlefield radio with a a CD player, stereo speakers, an alarm clock and an iPod dock connector, perfect for transmitting "America! Fuck Yeah!" deep into enemy territory to rattle the Jerries. The spit take: £299.99.

That thing looks gorgeous. Shame it's so expensive
I had one of these a few years ago, except it was a CD/cassette/AM/FM without the Ipod dock. It was gorgeous. It fell from a table just above knee-high and broke into about 75 pieces. I miss it terribly, and I wish it had been a little sturdier.
Just FYI -- I visited the site, went to the products page for their radios, and and Kaspsersky warned:

I like it. A lot. There are a few aesthetic changes if I were to make one though. Heeeeeeeey.... that's an idea....
*starts scribbling furiously*
I work on consumer electronics professionally, and
I have repaired a few units of the previous version of this steampunkish device.
It does indeed look cool on the outside, kinda cheaper than you might hope on the inside.
But just think how much it would cost to be both stylish and sturdy.
