    Some ghettoblasters like my Philips D8803 have attachment points for microphones. Luckely my Panasonic WM 650 mic had a detachable standard that fitted perfectly. So i pimped my D8803 with one mic. But of course i'm looking for a second one (or a pair) and can't find any. Does anybody know of a mic standard model that pops up regularly on ebay or in online shops or another way to attach some mics to a ghettoblaster?

    Unfortunately you'll have to keep looking. I've been looking for mic brackets for years (and never seen one), I rarely see options like this pop up for sale and if they do it's years between.

    Your's looks like it might be possible to custom machine, the mic bracket looks like it may be generic with a custom screw in the bottom. I'd look for the bracket and then find a machine shop to make a duplicate screw.

    I'm a big fan of the accessories, I try to get them if they pop up, like battery packs, mics, extra speakers etc. The only mics I see on a regular basis are the AIWA, Sony and Marantz Brands. They used them on a ton of different models so they tend to easy to find although the brackets, for the boomboxes, are impossible to find.

    Those are cool Mystic! Not only that, how often do you see both National and Panasonic Branding on the same item?

    Exactly, mate, not often, that's one of the reasons I've made a mental note about those.
    Not that I need them those days but I like you also love some fancy accessories from the past. :)

    Last year I was scanning Ebay UK for them from time to time and saw even boxed
    & mint ones. :) And not for big penny, no.
