It's official, Bell and Howell had the first Boombox and they trade-marked the name way back in 1970. What are the boombox guys going to do when they find out what a real boombox is?
This is a great discovery Mister X! I always wondered where the term Boombox came from. Until I became active in an international context (thanks to internet) I always knew the machines as radio-cassetterecorders. And the bigger ones as Ghettoblaster. Cool to see where the origin of the term Boombox comes from!
Yes, Cool!! Wondering what is AUDIO EYE? And what drew my attention besides - already in 1970 they emphasized about Bass Boost, highlighted it, long before all those gimmicks about bass (XBS, etc., name it) came into play and still very much alive... I can't recall any other ads in early 70s making a point about strong bass..
