Hello,
I managed to find and purchase the first stereo cassette deck I ever owned in 1978. Purchased from ebay and delivered it was in a bit fo state. It had 35 years of grime. The packaging was poor and it rattled badly. 4 of the case struts inside the unit had snapped off so it had blatantly been abused in the post.

Apart from that it worked so I disassembled it, cleaned it all up, glued the struts back and re-assembled it. I still find it amazing that something like this at the age of 35 still works.

i wish i had my fist boombox 

i remember that it had had square loud button and it was beat up 

other than that i don't know anything else about it
