heh - youse guyses might enjoy this (vintage boombox, of sorts)
On the scrap metal pile at my favorite local vintage audio emporium :-) a couple of weeks ago. It's been de-toxing in the garage since then. Today - a rainy day in MA ('til a little while ago) - was a good day to try it out.
It's in poor condition - but it actually works OK. Controls are scratchy (imagine that?!). The tape deck doesn't seem to work... but the radio's fine. I noted with some amusement that it has SW as well as AM and FM. I just couldn't resist it when I saw it in the muck and mire of the scrap metal pile. What a piece of... umm... history... :-P best of all, it had a very nice quality Maxell 110-min metal cassette in it. I am actually listening to it as I type this (on another cassette deck, of course). 1950s doo-wop/pop standards kind of stuff. Odd fodder for a boom box.
