NOS Electronics & Home Automation Systems

NOS Electronics & Home Automation Systems

A lot of home automation systems and parts are available now at CranberryManor, with more coming soon.

These selections include a vast assortment of the X10 System, as well as Vivitar, Westinghouse, CyberGenie, and more.

A sampling of CranberryManor's X10 offerings, with most of these offerings unopened and/or unused.


About the X10 system:

"The X10 and X10 Pro product lines are the original home automation source for end-users, installers, contractors and the do-it-yourself market. X10 began manufacturing home automation components in the late 1970's..."

The CyberGenie items available include the system (opened and gently used) and 2 handsets (unopened, unused, unsealed).

CyberGenie was one of the first computer automated phone systems during a time when whole-house phones were a thing.  The parent company, Cygnion, was defunct by c2000, so these systems today are considered vintage.

Kenneth J. Lane for Avon ~ Undersea: Ways to Wear

Kenneth J. Lane is known for quality, creativity, and collectability - and this demi parure, out of the end of last century, is no exception.  Done for Avon as part of their 1989 line, and known as Undersea, this fantastic pendant/necklace combination is executed w/2 stunning, marbled coral, beaded strands.  Accented w/a golden shell that is decorated w/crystal rhinestone chatons, this set is absolutely spectacular!

Several sellers online have the original paperwork for this set and it shows that this jewelry can be worn 6 different ways.

Pictured is the torsade, the torsade w/shell focal, the simple necklace, the lariat, and the dangling pendant.

Not pictured is the use of the shell focal as a scarf slide.
