When i went shopping yesterday with my family, i suddenly discovered this beautiful boombox near a dustbin.
My parents tried to hide it from me :P but i saw it Big Grin

It works, but not very good.

The 1st Tapedeck doesn't have a good sound, allthough i cleaned them.

Now I brought it down to my stack, to my collection...










As u can see, some parts are missing...

WOW. that's gorgeous!!
I like how you rocked it with a red and black tristar cassette.
any inputs for an Ipod? how does it sound THEN?

Thanks Guys. Smile

Unfortunately it has no Line-In or any similar inputs.

But it doesn't matter 2 me, cause i won't use it really Big Grin It's just something for the collection...

The sound also isn't that great, much more 2 expect from such a big boombox. Smile

I first thought about 2 re-design it, but then i have to fix the technic inside so it works great...but at the moment i don't have much time for that :P

And yes, i also looove the tristar-tapes!! they look really great!!
I'm also a tristar-freak at boomboxes. They have gread look & quality.

I also wake up with a tristar-alarm-clock with tapedeck:


And a my all-time favourite bommbox:
