Every frame we make starts the same way: with an old CD or cassette player that most people would throw away — and ends with a working piece of music history, framed and ready for a wall, a desk, or a gift box.
1. We find the machines
We collect portable CD players and cassette players from the 80s and 90s — Discman, Walkman and the rest. We look for units with good bones: original shells, complete mechanisms, and the character only three decades can give.
2. We bring them back to life
Each player is opened, cleaned and rebuilt by hand. Worn belts are replaced, mechanisms are serviced, and playback is restored. We keep the honest traces of time — the scuffs and faded logos — because that is what makes every piece one of a kind.
3. We test them properly
No frame leaves our studio until the unit actually plays. We put it through its paces with real CDs and cassettes, so the sound you get is the warm, genuine sound of the golden age — not a museum piece, but a working machine.
4. We frame them to last
The restored player is mounted inside a solid wood frame with a protective cover — designed to hang on a wall, stand on a desk, or arrive in someone’s hands as a gift. Every frame ships carefully packed and fully tracked.
Why we do it
A working vintage player in a frame is more than decoration. It is a memory you can play, a conversation piece, and a gift that says something about the person who gives it — and the person who receives it.
Hand-restored. Fully playable. Frame-ready.
