    AIWA TP-22, these don't get a lot of love on the forum but AIWA put this out around 1974 and it just looks cool. I don't know if these have a headphone jack, I imagine it must but the radio does have a tiny speaker in case it doesn't.

    I don't know if this would work with a boombox but it's the stereo version of the CM-1016 (two mics). You'd have to go through old AIWA Catalogs to see if it's an accessory, otherwise it might be used with a tripod?

    I just put a blurb about a Hitachi VHS/TV "Boombox" in the TV on the Radio Thread, I thought I'd look up some for sale, here's what I found.
    Casio VF-3000, ok this is really cool, never seen this before!

    Crown CSC-110. This might be the smallest mini with AUX in! These are tiny and ok build quality but they look really cool, this is the 2nd listing I've seen on ebay in something like 10 years so they don't come up often. It's a little roached and has a missing switch but I bet with a good soaking it will look nice and shiny again.

    Wow, never seen this one before. Really digging the modular design. This unit does have a headphone jack, but it’s labeled as ‘earphone’, because it’s mono only… which also explains why it’s so cheap. When I first got into this hobby, I bought a couple of Sony TCM players that looked like Walkmans, but was so disappointed because it wasn’t stereo. Anyways, cool unit nonetheless.

    Sampo's have never been big on my radar, all I really know is the sampling of portable TV's like the one above. I did jump in recently with a CS-408 purchase but haven't had time to go through it. Some of it is pretty neat looking and some gems are starting to come to the surface. I posted this boombox awhile back, maybe one of the only with CB radio although it's listen only. Know as the "Everything Set" with TV/CB/Radio/Cassette and maybe more with 4!!! dials and meters.

    Another Sampo, the LT-100 Language Laboratory, yes this is a portable but it looks more like a clock radio. The soft-touch controls really make it look high-end but I love the older looking rotary dials and toggle switches blended in.

    I don't know anything about the Craftsman Brand, it's very close to SEARS's Tool Branding but different and it doesn't have a copyright symbol. Personally I think it's just an offbrand like Webcore, Ross, Channel Master that were private labeled for smaller USA Stores. I do like this one, maybe one of the first mini's? Simple yet tastefully done.

    Another oddball mini, the Evertop from Korea, there two versions (from the same seller), the MCTR-201 and the MCTR-202, I'm not sure of the differences. The box does indicate Hyundai, very interesting. The bottom unit is pretty cool looking.

    In like Flint! I know nothing about 3D printing but Bambu is blowing out their printers until 12/5. Hopefully their as easy and fun as they look and there's a ton of videos on YT to help. The P1S looks like a good all-arounder but they also have a less expensive A1 that's more bare bones. I watched a video last night of a guy printing panels to convert his Porsche Boxster into a GT3 RS, hopefully I can print out a few dozen different battery doors and knobs.
