Hi everyone. New to the board and not sure where to post this, but I am trying to identify the boom box used in this scene from Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989). I am trying to buy one or at least something similar, it's ok if it is broken, it is for a photo project. Any help would be appreciated

Hello Hollie and welcome I ve seen an email mentioning my nickname from Boodokhan so i checked what this was about ! I had to dig deep at my pictures to find it , was looking through 2014-2015 archive of mine and i found it It is a NO-Name boombox . I have seen it from time to time to appear. Here is a pic of it, this one in particular is a Sigma S-1006 which is missing the decal of its left tape door : It is the exact model or an a.k.a that was used at Friday the 13th part VIII . BTW just ignore the AKAI in front of it. If you are patient and you can wait for a month maybe i will be able to get one for you. As i said it appears occasionally at the markets i am frequenting but i never picked it up.
Wow you are amazing and thanks for the super fast response! I would need it by August and like I said, it doesn't have to be in working order. You rock!
One more sighting from 2017. Its a Sigma s-1006 also. This one has the decal at the tape door. Hopefully i will find one for you in time
Welcome to S2G, Hollie! Square woofers on this No Name are "borrowed" from Sharp WF-939/940. The original:
Hollie please take a look at this topic maybe the last one suits your needs. http://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/market-tour-ala-deech.945/page-6#post-23634
Thank you for sharing. It would certainly be a close match. I'm still hoping to find one like your other photos.
Hollie I am contacting you today which is Friday the 13th for the project you have about the movie of the same name. I want you to know that the dogs are out searching without finding one until now. Will have a look this weekend too , so fingers crossed to get one. If i find it its yours for Free.
Yes Hollie after a couple of months i have found it ! I started losing faith but as I told you it comes up from time to time. Message me for details. Here is a pic of it :
