Boombox Archaeology

The Rocket from 1981

 

1987, I feel like a posted this before, maybe a different magazine?

 

Sony DoDeCaHORN from 1988, known as the Mega Bass in the USA. I've to the CFS-DW60 and it's a heavy one. It has the small Walkman Style Buttons on the top and has a real quality feel. I don't know if many others made it over here but definately a keeper if you find one. The only downside is the paper baffle over the speakers falls apart and that has the "DW60" printed on it.

 

also from 1988 the CFD-D73, expensive and it lookos like there's models above it.

 

Sony CFD-D75 from 1988

Klangbild 1978

 

A beautiful ITT from 1977, Klangbild. I wanted to post and translate later to see how these rarer brands stacked up.

 

From 1978, Klangbild, the ITT 109, talk about multiband madness, anybody have one of these?

 

Found over on X. Yea they can talk trash about cassettes and boomboxes but just about every 70's-80's iconic bands used them for some big records.
