ohioguy - 2010-06-10 19:41

I collect old bmx bikes and i was looking around on the Bmxmuseum.com and one of the members there scored a old school Jambox.I thought it was really cool and the guy had a link to this site so i checked it out.Well today i was in Goodwill and i saw this for $5.Its a Montgomery Wards Model #GEN3987 its got Dual Cassette,2way speaker system with condenser microphone.Am FM Stero radio with all the bells and whistles.This thing is in almost perfect condition works great no problems at all.I opened the battery box and it had the orginal cable sitting in there and the foam pad is all there too.This Box is big and heavy and awesome.Heres a few pics let me know how i did on my score.

Montgomery Wards didn't make the box. they had another company make them. I'm not sure what company made this one. I had a montgomery wards vcr back in the day that was made by sharp. I also had a montgomery wards tv that was made by magnavox. I am sure someone on here and look at it and tell you who made it for montgomery wards but I can't.

Ya good start.
Its a one piece made to look like a 3 piece.
The LED meter is a plus there.

Our moderator Jens (TPR) should know about MW brand a lot, for sure, but it seems that it is unable to post lately for some reason, I hope it's is well.
Any way, you may searching in the VERY IMPORTANT LINKS thread.
Maybe you will find something more about MW brand.
