well it has some nice piano music and its about some red tall boombox looking thing with 4 speaker's in the front 2 over 2 in a square formation and the script is in chinese or ? and is this thing supposed to be some kind of portable ... I guess just a amplifier and speakers as i dont see what the source could be that might be included with this and also I

Remember that there might of been a another thread about this in a few months past somehwere on here STG

SO what is going on here with this ?

DiscoRobo's made by Pioneer have a cassette deck in the top and a radio. But yeah, they also have a guitar input to function as an amp.

I thought these were 'grail' worthy from what I've read online, but if both you guys aren't interested I'm guessing they aren't high on collector's lists anymore.

I think they were predominantly sold in Asia (I think the karaoke functions surpassed most on the market in the 80s) and I know they got a push in Australia as I still remember the TV commercial, which hardly any other boxes got over here.

It's a bit of an oddity, but I quite like them and nearly bidded on one Mesh was selling a couple of months ago.



Rock On.

I cant help, but this boombox reminds me of somthing...

Hmm, yes

those are classics..worth another mention in my eyes.

I would not mind owning one of these
