Having pulled my TRK6701 out for a play, my youngest daughter took a shine to it (she's grown out of the surprisingly good Hello Kitty egg that Ed...
My scans from the 1984 Philips Portables catalogue sure do get around the internet :) (it's the pic with the blue background at the above web...
I had a 3D7 from new in the 80s (for the money, it was hard to beat for volume & bass wallop, being one of the earliest 'extra bass' boomers) & I...
3D80 - that's a good garage box :)
I've got this one in black too. I went through a time when I was keen on minis loaded with toys. I got it from an s2g-er near Brighton/Worthing....
Looks like this Bush is one or two up the range from the 7070 that my brother used to own in the 80s. It was the loudness switch & detachable...
This is an aka for a boomer that I own, branded Saisho in the UK (shops own brand from the retailer Dixons). It's a surprisingly not-rubbish...

Ooh, nice :) I too am partial to floor-standers from Wharfedale. They seemed to nail the combination of controlled & authoritative sound, with...
The good works continue (the links work fine for me, btw). My wife used to teach in Haywards Heath - I know it quite well :)
I have a couple of these. Inside, it all looks very Philips, esp. the tape mech. Looks are the very essence of elegance & build is the usual B&O...
Well, this is all sorts of excellent & means alot to many, me included. I'm an old, somewhat lapsed s2g member (joined 2005), so these posts are a...
I used to covet this boomer, with it's EQ, Dolby, detachable speakers & those looks (very fashionable then, now classic 80s), but then I listened...
One weird walkman I've at least heard about was an early-ish Sony where the play button was on one side of the unit, but the heads were on the...
I bought two of these around 11 years ago for my kids, NIB from eBay for £2 a piece. Basic, for sure, but both still work fine. For myself, I...
