Aldi seem to get a Boombox (Squeakbox ?) in ready for Father's Day each year. We discussed their last model a couple of years ago here http://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/upcoming-boomboxes.3256/ By around October they were down to £10 or £15 but based on the reviews I wasn't tempted. Having said that the equivalent Sharp or Sanyo would have been about £40 or $50 back in the 1980s.
Yes, I think I watched the Techmoan review then. The styling on this year's offering is not bad though, wouldn't have looked out of place in the 80's.
i'll never understand why someone would want to listen to such low end equipment, never had anything that bad even back in the day lol Aldi is next door for me but i wouldn't want one free lol
I'm going to Aldi some props, sure it's low end but it also has some cool features and for somebody new to the world of cassettes, it's a great way to get exposed to it. When we were young, this was the only way to record and it was exciting, now a days we're being recorded dozens of ways so it's not as neat of a feature but the USB and SD ports are. Unfortunately the big clunky piano keys that always meant entry-level aren't going away soon and it will define these reissues. It is pretty cool seeing these, the IONs, the GPOs and some of the others getting international releases with tape decks!
You shouda seen some of the imported "junk" sold at a place in my old neighborhood named The Econo Outlet, but called "Tokyo Joe's". (A l'il "M.A.S.H." reference there)
True! I still remember how it was the day I found my Crown SZ-11. Wasn't totally cool with it (Damn powder pink color) but wasn't totally cooled on it. And at $5.00 brand-new@K-Mart, how could I pass it up?
