Laughing Stock

This is what happens when you let meddling fools like Audi de-value years of hard fought reputation

Would fit in well with the “Ducati” Milk Frother, the “Ducati” Easy Oyster Shucker, and “Ducati” Tofu Press that I also shan’t be buying!

And if you want to pay the 'Ducat tax' the same ones are on Ebay for £176

OMG! What utter b*****ks! They're out of stock, so they must be popular with the brainless brand and trend followers that are on fb and twitter?

Before they made motorbikes, Ducati (The same company.) made rather nice cameras.
I think it would be really nice if they were to make a nice faithfully styled digital version.

Much better and with more relevance than the hipster tosh mentioned above.

Come to think of it some of those cameras could possibly be getting on for 100 years old? what a nice centenary issue that would be.

I've got a Ducati branded video camera and it's utter cr@p tbh, although I doubt Ducati had any involment with it. It's just branded rubbish.

Flip · 26-01-2021, 04:13 PM

I think the cameras were a collaboration rather than actually made solely by Ducati- they did however, make radios (I think they were called a wireless back then

) and they also made, somewhat ironically considering the original content of this thread, electric hair-clippers!!

After all they did start out as an electrical component manufacturer making capacitors and the like- even my old Vespa has a Ducati ignition and switch gear.

Its a Toshiba Camileo S10 "Ducati Edition" if anyone wants one?

As Mr Gazza and Flip have said, Ducati has history in the domestic appliance field. (I seem to remember that there was a section about their early years in the factory museum). They were originally formed as the "Societá Scientifica Radio Brevetti Ducati" (The "Ducati Scientific Society for Radios and Patents") with this as their second logo:

And made some quite nice radios:

It's funny because I was just thinking of their pre-bike era a couple of weeks back when I saw the SSR logo on a GT1000 custom.

Oh, but I also accept Kato's original point - there's a big difference between designing and manufacturing your own products, like the radios above, and just licensing your name to be used on any old tat!
