    I have just watched Top of the Pops - The Story of 1983 and one of the videos they showed was this



    Summary - The Style Council go punting (a type of boat) with a Boombox.
    Just what you need during a Long Hot Summer.

    The question is what type of Boombox is it.

    That was quick. There isn't a prize but you win the Kudos of being the first to answer.

    According to RadioMuseum http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/hitachi_trk_8290e.html the box would have been two or less years old when the video was filmed.

    Thinking back to another thread I just had an amusing thought. "What happens if you fall in the river wearing Apple Airpods ?"
    - A Rhetorical Question, although I would imagine with built in (Lithium ?) batteries it could get interesting.

    Yeah I'm on the ball this morning, lithium batteries mixed with water could be interesting!
