I would post pictures of the cfd 5 - If I remembered how
The only camera I have is built into my cell phone. I am waiting for 1 more belt for the cfd 5 cassette deck The deck looks like a real challenge to replace the belts very complicated deck you must mean some sort of meet in kelso washington my life is the pits and some one slashed all 4 of my car tires. I hope to get tires on friday. |

I have two of these Hitachi TRK-9900 boomboxes (one as a backup). Always liked Hitachi's boomboxes from the early eighties, and this was one of their largest models. Very heavy, over 20 Pounds if i remember correctly! Needs ten D cell batteries, which doesn't make it very portable... Only use it for FM radio these days, but the sound is very good!

Marantz 500 that looks like a neat boombox.
Most big boomboxes run on 8 d batterys so 10 must be better. |

Yup, when it comes to boomboxes, more and bigger is better, right? The early boomboxes were the nicest, I think, before the manufacturers started making the boomboxes lightweight. More practical of course, but the TRK9900 is really well-made and feels more like a real hifi product. I checked the manual, it actually weights close to 29 pounds. Try carrying that around on your shoulder all day!

I just picked up a Sony CFD-5 the other day. I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I'll post a pic later.

It is, It's a 1947 8G005Y with a mint case and nothing is missing. I need to recap it, one went boom and took out a resistor. After the restore, it will be like new. I paid $28.00 on ebay! Most go way higher, must have been the exploded cap scaring off buyers.

A boombox with incredible build quality is the Sony CF-580 from 1976. It's smaller then most of the units from the 1978-85 period at 16 inches wide by 12 tall, but it's built like a tank - with batteries it is 18 lbs. ! Everything about it says quality - all the materials are top shelf, brushed or polished aluminum trim, die- cast chromed or aluminum toggle switches. The design is conservative, no glitz or gimmicks here.
All of the early Sony's seem like they were designed to last forever. |

i believe thats what the power meters indicated. it was a very highend unit bought by my best friends cocaine cowboy father in the 80's. a set of batteries lasted long enough to get the girls attention poolside. the amp is still around here somewhere....
