I think they are already "cool again" with some folks. Just look at some of the prices on ebay. I've got a small Toshiba from the early '80's. To be a small boombox, it's loaded with features: AM/FM/SW, Cr02/metal tape compatible, some kind of recording timer, and all sorts of I/O jacks. Someone gave it to me and I've never even checked it's operation. I've also got a mono late '70's AM/FM/cassette recorder; but, I don't guess that one would be considered a "boom box". I remember some of my classmates of the late '80's and early '90's having those huge monsters that often sell for big $ now. I remember, back in the early to mid '80's, when even the smaller boomboxes of decent quality cost over a hundred dollars. By the '90's, they had gotten cheaper and the quality went down.
