    Ive seen this movie before I was a Boombox collector and paid no attention to this, but now I noticed right away the stack of Boomboxes behind Kurt Russel, in the movie Breakdown where his wife is kidnapped by a bunch of sick rednecks. I can only recognize the Panasonic RX C52 and the Promax Super Jumbo J-1. image.jpg

    Didn't want to make a separate thread. :)

    Wondering guys if somebody can remind me which box is this.
    I am sure I 've seen its pictures but just can't place it and recall the name.

    There was a turntable version either on ebay UK or Greece for a long time last spring, it might still be available but I think it only had one tape deck.

    As it happens there is one now for sale on Ebay from Germany. Not cheap but the postage costs is very expensive but it is I understand a heavy beast.It comes with the record player but sadly that is not working .

    Amstrad 8060 Ghettoblaster Radio , vintage Boombox 80 er 80s
