    The Conion C-100 makes only 15 watts per channel at the same level of distortion, so......

    First, I'd take both if they were garage sale scores, but what's the deal with all of the distortion? At that price and time you'd think they would have made it sound much better. No wonder nobody questioned the loudness wars, the crappy loud sound was being born with these late 80's units.

    Nice grab speedy2.0, post some info when you have it up and running, it looks super cool and I'm jealous, locally I just nabbed an early 60's AIWA Portable Turntable/Radio, it also has the cool looking, just sitting on the table look, and it's a true boombox with handle and batteries.

    I've been pretty busy and not catching all of the cool stuff but here's a neat old JVC emailer. If I had to guess I'd say around 2002, subscribe to a service and voila, instant email. This was pretty cool back then when everything was new and fresh, I'm not sure if it works now but is sure brings back memories of the early internet.

    As far as I know Braun never made a boombox or portable cassette player but I found this really cool multi-band radio. I love the looks of everything they made and time has proven they are valued highly by other portable radio enthusiasts. This thing is so nice looking and would look great on any boombox shelf. Check out the connections on the front and what is the antenna tuning knob for?

    It saves you from having to add one of these:

    And certainly marks the set as a top of the range, no expense spared, unit.
    I'm not sure whether this would appeal more to a SW receiver collector (there are quite a few out there) or someone who likes the classic and unmistakable, Braun styling.

    I did a bit more research and the design is as old as me, but deemed worthy of being a museum piece.

    Thanks for the link Longman! I thought early 70's but yea, it's a bit older. These portable shortwaves are just a sub-genre of boomboxes for me, it would be nice to have a thread or two with them featured. I've got a few old Zenith Transatlantic and some other random "boat anchors" sitting around. Some of these really made the tuning dial stand out and are very nice looking, I have to believe they laid the ground work for future boombox design.

    It's sad when the only one that's popped up in years looks like it fell off the table. I love the huge walkman look in the brown leather case.
