The quality of the Boombox case and plastics and construction was unsurpassed even today we don't see anything like it.. just amazing. simply astounding to see them all so perfect condition.
Exactly, it's amazing how well they hold up and still look pristine 30 years later. The values hold well too. I checked out that new i931 lasonic and it was built like shit. Just a single cast thin plastic shell for the front.
Tengo el Toshiba RT-S983. El más pesado de todos los Boombox de la historia. (14 kgs.) 50 RMS por Canal. Bafles desmontables. Increíble la ingeniería japonesa. Arte e Ingeniería juntos. Grande Tosbhiba. Hicieron hasta trenes....
A very good collection of some fine boomboxes (we call them two-in-ones) of the 80's! But it would have been nice if this video showed them in details with more close up views.
They really should. I'm missing out because I'm only able to get the cheap end of the boomboxes. I don't even know where to start. The first authentic one I was able to get was is a Sony CFS-3000
@@DaXande135 Its not that its the sheer EXPENSE. What people today dont understand. Is to produce a BOOMBOX of the true quality of say a SHARP GF777 OR JVC RC M90. Would be 4 FIGURES in this time. Remember when they came out NEARLY 40 YEARS AGO. They were £300-- £500 that was alot of money in 1981. And thats the PROBLEM. Whose ready to drop a £1000 plus for a BOOMBOX? About 7 years ago a company called GPO put out a model the GPO BROOKLYNN. It was okay. But it was trying to do too much. The Jack of all trades the master of none so to speak. But the sound quality wasnt there. The build quality was flimsy. And the design just didnt look right. The Led meters were overly sensitive. And peaked too easily. But thats what you are going to get for £250 in 2020. It covered every musical format. And had a million connections. But it just didnt represent a classic 80s BOOMBOX properly. And thats what drives the prices up on the second hand market. To get a fully working classic BOOMBOX you have to pay usually over £400. The only decent one ive seen going for sub £250. Is the wonderful SHARP GF 9191. Its 42 years old. But its got a wonderful WARM full sound. Real VU METERS and solid build. Its the one to go for. If you dont want to spend more than £250 on the second hand market.
gustavo ramirez-rangel .....wow I have 7 and I'm thinking that is too many..... hoping to get the bumpboxx.....any advice would help should I get another.....
I've seen and heard many of them back in the 80s and just 3 maybe 4 of the were very impressive sound wise while pumping out some serious bass and the most expensive one I've ever seen was 449.99
Boombox made in the 60's up to 90's are all tough and does not easily break but enter 2000's until 2010's, the quality significantly dropped. The plastic construction of the old boombox was tougher, sturdier and can still hold up in todays standards. I wish I have the money to buy every classic boombox shown here!
@@carlosmaddox668 first off the design screams 80s, so for one in working and good physical condition it will probably be super expensive, second i gotta say dont get one if you cant properly store it and care for it, lastly its a Sanyo M-V40K, i saw a similar model selling for close to 600 dollars online so for one of these it will probably be close to a few hundred
Yeah i wonder too, it is some remix things from blue monday, deepeche and some 80's rap thingies in beginning, sugharhill gang? If you did find out tell?
Who can tell me the difference between a boombox and a jam box? Very annoying that so many people are calling jam boxes, boomboxes. It's right in the name, if you can think of what gives speaker enclosures the reflective booming sound
