beatbox - 2008-08-26 14:53

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW That's amazing!!! I know they probably sound like poop, but I like these much much more than the new Lasonic Ipod thing, just for the sheer nostalga of it all!

I agree,for example they are very strange and different with the "wood" trim Big Grin Wink

Very cool thread! Thanks for the pics, Jens.

That one "oldschool" looking box is the best in my opinion... but I don't know about that 600w sticker on it??!! Laugh Out Loud

beatbox - 2008-08-26 15:01

Oh my oh my, just look at this!!!!!!!!! A great effort, with obvious references, but very very well executed. I love it!!!

tpr - 2008-08-26 15:05

928gts - 2008-08-26 15:39

What search terms are you using to bring up these boxes?

tpr - 2008-08-26 15:49

actually I got help from a Chinese speaking guy...
Cool

928gts - 2008-08-26 15:58

Aha! Crafty! I was having trouble navigating the site as such. Good finds!

transamguy1977 - 2008-08-26 18:09

Ranging from 600 to 1500 watts Eek these sukas must jam. Laugh Out Loud
No but seriously, some pretty oldschool designs .
My fav is the gold one.

ghettoboom777 - 2008-08-27 11:45

Hi TPR-Thanks for those rarities!!
I love the Panasonic 8-Track though!!
There's nothing like going out with some 1970's 8 tracks and a battery powered 8 Track boombox and jamming!!
I swear you can get some of the coolest old school music in 8 track.I'll have to show you some of mine sometime. I have about 100 of them.
Have a super one-Ghettoboom777. Smile Red Face

fuzzyduck - 2008-08-28 10:57

Nice to know they're still making this style of BBX and with tape decks too.
Thanks Jens! Cool

ford93 - 2008-08-28 23:18

Most of them have that 60's look.

This one is in some danger of not being 100% laughable. Apart from the 600 watt power output sticker of course - that always brings a chuckle...

retro.addict - 2008-09-02 07:51

I quite like the look of this one, although I think it would have benefitted from chrome handle ends like the one above.
