Back in 2016, a 1960s turntable once belonging to David Bowie sold at auction for £257,000. That turntable was a
Brionvega Radiofonografo RR126, created by Italian geniuses Achille and Pier Castiglioni. Now, to mark the 100th
anniversary of Achille’s birth, a special edition of that iconic music system has been launched, complete with the original
machine’s iconic ‘smiley face’ (made up of controls for the record player, radio and volume). The Radiofonografo RR
FO-ST comes in white, orange and red, with only 100 of each colour available for purchase – all will be numbered and made
using the original Italian cabinet design. Each will feature a premium Pro-Ject turntable with Ortofon cartridge, an AM/FM
radio and cool modular speakers that can be moved up or down to create unique looks. There’s a headphone jack for when
you want to listen privately, but let’s be honest, a system this iconic deserves a bigger audience.
