Not a boombox, but still nice "heavy duty" cassette recorder.

You can see a Sony C-60 tape inside the unit.

The movie was filmed in 1975, and this Sony from 73-74 catalog.

I've got one of these, superb quality, weighs as much as a house brick with not much plastic in sight.  Is this yours Metad?

No, unfortunately it's not mine, the pictures from this site

I love design of that era, and those early 70' units were made to last forever.

Aiwa made the TP-22 around the same time, slightly nicer than the Sony.  It had a removeable radio unit

I don't think this Aiwa was made around the same time.

These buttons, eject button, tuner scale - it looks like it's from early 80'
