Boomboxes

[Dude111]

The thing I dont like about Boomboxs is ITS HARD TO FIND ONE WITH A MONO SWITCH!!!!!!!

I do not like stereo and I dont being forced to listen IN STEREO!!!!!

Im probably gonna be in need of a new one soon but everyone I have gotton has been WORSE than the last!


WHY WONT THEY ALLOW YOU AN OPTION TO PLAY A TAPE IN MONO IF YOU WANT??

Hmm... Drive to radio shack and get an spst panel mount switch, and install it somewhere. Short the wipers of the volume control together. Use shielded wire say from an old patch cord. This is a fairly easy modification. Or if you're really serious about mono forget the switch and just put in a jumper.

Or, if you have the room for it, rather than a switch install a potentiometer and call it a SEPARATION control! Stereo to mono and everything in between!

There are some Philips and Magnavox models that have that pot, plus expanded ("spatial") stereo! Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzDl75K_gak

Lots of boombox have a mono switch especially the older ones as you did not specify what boombox you are having a issue with. Most Panasonic's have mono switch as well as ambience and stereo in the middle.
