    An interesting price guide from Saturday Review (USA) from 1969 showing most? of the boomboxes available at the time.

    So this is really interesting, isn't around the time the Sharp GF-777 was released? And didn't we start seeing a million of them come from China?

    General Electric had an AKA of this little wonder, it's small but feels like there's a lead brick inside of it.

    The Japan Times 1976-12-31, a little confusing but at one time Sears had stock interest in Sanyo, no wonder Sears had so many AKA Electronics from Sanyo.

    We've discussed in the past about some of the boomboxes made in Africa. From The Japan Times 1974.
