Oops...never mind. Now I do have a boombox like that, and I guess I kind of am a collector now.

Back in September I got an SG-J550L, which is the UK version of the J500. Excellent shape - the cassette and turntable both work 100%, and I got the manual too!

And the other day, I apparently made kind of a big score with a Sharp HK-9000. It's black, it's plastic, but most definitely NOT crap. Dig all this:

10-band EQ
alarm clock and sleep timer
Shortwave tuner
1/4" inputs for 2 mics and an instrument
2 cassettes, one with a pitch control and "Auto Program Locate Device"
Inputs for CD and get this...Phono!

This monster is just about 3 feet long and a foot tall. Every livin' bit of it works 100%. I had to think about it for $40 but I took the plunge. Then last night, I found it There with a $199.95 BuyItNow. Uh, wow, I guess?
