Well I would have to go with my Panasonic RX-C52, I think it's kind of borderline on the mini status but still very small.
It's one heavy and awesome sounding mini, unfortunately mine needs a little TLC.

moncheeto - 2008-02-18 19:22

my favorite would be the panasonic c50

redbenjoe - 2008-02-19 05:34

agree with ramon

My personal favourite is my very smart Sharp WQ-274. I don't have any pictures of it, but it's of the very slim square design like that Marantz above and the Sharp QT27 (it has chrome trims round the speakers). The WQ-274 is a duel deck, with a mini 4-band graphic equalizer in the top right-hand corner of the machine. The speakers are tiny (about 3 inch), but the bass they throw out when the equalizer is adjusted 'correctly' is staggering for how the radio looks. It has a lovely full sound (very adjustable), with crystal clear highs, powerful mids and strong bass. To raise the awareness of it's bass output, I'd compare to a Hitachi 3D2, but it achieves this without any form of a super woofer. The speakers flap a bit (unsurprizing with their lask of size) at higher volumes, so the 100hz slider has to the brought down, but at lower volumes, the bass is like a 3D2 (which I have) but the highs are 10X better than the Hitachi's.

Has anyone got any pics of the Sharp WQ-274? Smile

Another kool picture Big Grin

Cool

baby.boomer - 2008-02-19 13:15

The Panasonic RX-FM15, mostly because it comes in so many versions, including lots of colors, a National with SW bands, and a Quasar.

retro.addict - 2008-02-20 09:06

That's a nice JVC mini, Nicolle. Cool

walkgirl - 2008-02-22 04:04

That pink one is really nice Cool

Thanks!! Your JVC looks like a top-quality unit. A real miniature version of a big boombox. Bet it sounds good, too!

I'm sure I would've picked something other than the FM15 for sound & quality. But Jared said we get one pick, and so I decided to go with design/color/variety.

kid.sensation - 2008-02-22 05:31

my all-time mini-grail and most beloved mini.

I want one so bad Frown

Sanyo M7790:

jvc.floyd - 2008-02-22 05:34

oh yeah thats a good one kid,i want one too. Big Grin

nikamichi - 2008-02-23 01:19

I almost Agree with Nicole. I do like the JVC RC-S5, but my fave is the JVC RC-S7, which is similar but with a synthesizer tuner

peter.griffin - 2008-02-25 12:24

wow, have never seen that mini Sanyo. AwesomeSmile

masterblaster84 - 2008-02-25 12:29

Kid that's an awesome mini. I've never even seen one for sale anywhere, it's got to be extremely rare.

jaredscottfla - 2008-02-25 13:55

I Agree Cool

jameswp67 - 2008-02-25 19:43

me too Kid, its awesome!

isolator42 - 2008-02-27 06:58

Only one? no chance.
It's either the Sony ZX-7 (might have to scroll down to the bottom)
or the Sansui FX-700R
Both very small & packed with toys usually only found on the big boys.

jovie - 2008-02-27 17:20

Heres one that to my knowledge isn't in the database.It is the G.E. 3-5219A mono box I found at the thriftstore.It is my favorite because it is my most used boombox when I am in front of my P.C..It's nice and loud for its size.It even has a miniature standard style boombox handle and two watch style strap pins at each end.The 5219A is small enough for me to reposition in tight spaces for the purposes of fine tuning shifting and fading A.M. radio signals.




oldskool69 - 2008-02-27 17:26

Wow! Jovie, this thing even has a remote jack! Eek

walkgirl - 2008-02-28 02:25

That is a very nice miniradio Jovie! Smile

Is it a microcassette?, or regular?

Are there also those red little lamps on it? Cool

jovie - 2008-02-28 15:38

oldskool69-yes,a remote jack is a curious feature for such a small radio.Not exactly a useful feature.However,This mini itself is very practical for my living space and see use daily.

walkgirl-It has a standard style cassette.If it were a micro cassette,it would be even more unique if impossibly small.It's too bad the micro cassette didn't take off in a big way.There are no lights on this unit for tuning or illumination.Your question has given me the idea for a lighted tuning scale similar to the rising 20/20s except with LED bulbs.I don't think I've ever seen a boombox this small with a lighted tuning scale.That would be unique!

- 2008-02-28 17:16

yes both are on and on Batteries an on the same Station
I like the M7950K because of its sound full an rich for a mini
But for simplicity I like the M7770K because its durable and it has mechanical
pushbuttons for the cassette unlike the M7950K which has soleniods

My favorite mini is my Panasonic RX-F20, which is pictured in my avatar. Sounds incredible for such a tiny boombox. Big Grin

Hey, DecentMan4you! I love your Sanyo mini with the digital led readout for the amss. Can you program it or is it just to show how many songs you skip ahead to?

jaredscottfla - 2008-04-09 15:56

Can you program it or is it just to show how
many songs you skip ahead to?

You Put a Cassette in and push play,
the amss has zero at this point, then you can "tap"
the ( amss program button ) to the desired number
that you wish to skip, either in foward or rewind mode.
Now that you have "Tapped" to a specific number
depress either FF or REW and the amss will go that many
songs or blank spaces to your desired selection on
your Cassette. While this is occuring the number in
the amss window counts down as it is passing blank
spaces on you cassette . I hope this answers your question ... James

big.beat - 2008-04-11 07:32

The RC-S7, of course Smile
Still looking...

erniejade - 2008-04-11 07:53

pj 33 it has the most kick out of a 3" woofer. Although the weight is not Mini!

For lighter i would have to go with the panasonic 52.
