well, I bought this boombox. I figured it would allow me to feel closer to the 80s, I never got to live them but man wish I could've. Motley and Metallica sounds great through that ambience sound of the Panasonic. I guess I can bring this bad boy into the garage when I'm wrenching on the trikes! Got it from the original owner from 83! Original manual and all!!261711261712261713261711261712261713

Dang that brings back memories. Paid $100 for a used one in 82. I think my folks sold it a garage sale for $5.00 bucks a decade or so back. Those batteries didn’t last very long.

Enjoy!

Nice!!!

No dual cassette deck, though, so how can you make totally tubular and absolutely radical mix tapes with no super sano dual cassette deck? [emoji23]

Careful on the retro ride folks, you might just call those things what we REALLY called them! At least it was the name given in Southern Ontario being the border brat I was beside Niagara Falls, NY. But common sense should prevail and we won't offend anyone, lol. Just need to add some roller skates and fuzzy wrist bands to complete the ensemble.
