    this Beauty is on my "to-have... oops! MUST-have!!!' list: NATIONAL PANASONIC RS-4360. @Reli has some sweet words about it at WikiBoombox
    I must sell ~30% of my present Discman collection to get it (these days I am in a Dog-House financially: until rebuild is complete not a single penny from my day-job can be diverted into my collecting hobby :(). But I will get it... someday!!! :)

    We might have to have an international meeting in Korea and spend a few days looking for the National Panasonic RS-4360.

    It's cool that boomboxes are kind of back but these beer companies seem to be jumping on the bandwagon, show me some hardware to go with the beer.

    I do like that the Bronx Brewery is 7.6%, sipping beers can be really good.

    WOW!!! Christmas and New Year got passed by w/o any B&B posts - UNACCEPTABLE!!! Shame on me!!!
    2021 starts with my fav almost-local beer and my newly restored bbox:
    Sharp_B&B.jpg

    this small Sharp is as BOOMY as any bbox can be, and Jean-Luc Ponty as cheezy as is proper for a bbox replay
    :loldiag:
    Do Not play J-L on your home stereo: risk of a brain damage even at low volumes! :cool:

    I have to, oops... MUST record some Uriah Heep and Porcupine Tree onto cassettes, for when I am here in my Lab hiding from my Boss ;)

    Being a Sharp it should be Bucks Fizz. I was looking for them advertising that box but found this instead.

    The song "Now Those Days Are Gone" could be an epitaph for Sharp, who at the time were also sponsoring Manchester United F.C,. arguably the most famous team in the country.

    I've never heard them before but I've seen them written about in those English Music Magazines. They must have been more popular over in England.

    Nice box Jorge! There's something quarky-cool about the Twin-Cams plus that model looks really cool, it's much bigger than the photo lets on.

    With semi-lockdown over here I haven't been doing the hard work that makes me want a good beer at night, we are starting to open back up this week, time to celebrate!

    Time to celebrate, we just passed 3000 and have 3008 members! There's been a big uptick over the last few months with a ton of awesome new members. A lot of us went from dumpster-divers in the 2000's to keeper of the grails now. In the worlds of Don Dokken (while playing in a bowling alley), "The times have changed!"

    I'm doing a little remodeling around the house and found this very forgotten gem, my little Sanyo M-7950K, one of the most bad-ass mini's ever. I always pay attention to the first song when firing up a boomer that's been sitting for years and today was no exception, Wham - Careless Whisper, I think the little box was telling me something for stashing it so long. I'm enjoying some Westmalle Trappist Ale, I can see those Belgian Monks cranking their boombox while making this delicious ale.

    Nobody sipping some suds? we've got a nice little winter storm going on, pretty cold out. I lucked out and found some of my favorite, Le Chouffe N'ice but it was in a sampler box. I used to be able to get a four-pack but Belgians are really getting hard to find these days. One of my newer purchases is another 70's AIWA, the TPR-906H, multi-band, heavy but kind of small. Controls on the front, LED, maybe the first seen on a boombox and those cool dated speaker grills. I really like all things AIWA from back then, the portable equipment was amazing.
