things well done | instruction manual ::
:: I came across this old instruction manual for a Hong Deng (红灯) model 265 radio while doing some research for this post. What a simple, compelling cover. It’s almost beautiful. There is something special about the green used, and of course the fonts. Excellent.
For the most comprehensive collection of old-school Chinese radio instruction manual covers you could possibly imagine, link here (it’s worth it). Bravo, well done. // AjS

Red Lantern seems to be pretty iconic. I ran across this week, and while I don’t really know what it’s got to do with the contents, the picture’s pretty cool. It’s a model 711 or something, but the cabinet’s basically the same.
