Browsing through Google Pictures, this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sanyo-Bo...Cassette-1991-BassXpander-G266F-/233206977646 Or something extremely similar. Going back to the Argos catalogue page, I actually have one of the the Grundig Music Boy Radios in my bathroom. I paid £3 for it in full working order at a car boot sale about five years ago.
I have very few boxes like the Sanyo, if I picked it up and it had some weight it might be a game changer but all the ones I find I can lift with one finger. On top of that Sanyo had gone to that crappy logo....
BTW, is there a good site where I can check on all those upcoming boot sales in my vicinity (Oxford)?

Sharp VZ-3000Z Review, yes it's a home stereo but it's just a handle and battery compartment away from being a VZ-2000.
Thanks for the interesting VZ3000 review. Quite popular in the UK they are one of few mid range stereos to have kept a reasonable value https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHARP-VZ...027261?hash=item340f2ed6bd:g:XSYAAOSwwrFdMeIi
Does anybody remember the JVC KB-500? I never knew they made electronic keyboards, it certainly isn't as nice looking as the Casios and Yamahas.
Hopefully we all speak a little French, Le Haut Parleur has a ton of portable cassette stuff! https://archive.org/details/LeHautParleurN16541980.03 The Sharp GF 8585 and Sharp GF 9191, I can read a little French but this magazine seems to have really cool articles that break down all of the goodness in these boxes treating them as a respectable part of audio.
Just an oddball Sharp TV Boombox that I'd love to have, it's listed as a Sharp 10 P 18 but it has a different model number in the USA.
