Mmmm, enjoying some Lakes & Legends Salted Caramel Stout, coming in at a healthy 6.2%. These guys are local and this makes me want to go down to the brewpub and check it out. I pulled out something special to pair with the beer, the Sanyo M2450F, one of the cool military style boomboxes from the 70's and one not found on wikiboombox.com either. You know I strive to find the obscure ones Reli hasn't listed yet, that's half the fun. I didn't fire it up for the photo-shoot but it's pretty impressive, like most 70's units the radios pull in all kinds of stations. There is very little internet info on this one, it has some clips on the right side maybe for an optional microphone?


New members, feel free to post, I'd love to see some beers from around the world or other local drinks!

 

I know I feel like I used to see a lot more, maybe they were store-brands, but they don't show up on Ebay very often. Maybe we need to start the military style radio thread! Anybody else have any of these cool models?

 

I consider them entry-level versions of the Japanese BCL Radios which had a ton of features and radio bands. As far as disappearing, I think it had more to do with cost, the nice ones looked and felt substantial but started to cheap-out towards 1979, while a boombox could be a cheap lightweight build and still be kind of nice, the nice square mono-radios had a harder time making the transition, plus they got smaller. I'm looking at my collection and I don't have any 80's mono's that were the same size. I think the two speaker design was hard to resist for most buyers in the 80's.
