    ITT Super Touring 350

    I don't think I have ever seen Dolby and so many controls and sockets on what looks to be a mono box.
    Doing some more research it appears to be missing two external speakers

    Oh dear. I will probably spend the rest of the evening on the second site down the rabbit hole of ITT catalogues and prices. They were more well known for Radios and TVs but did do a few Boomboxes.

    I noticed this one while researching clocks
    Inasonic Tuning Fork.jpg
    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144234538528?hash=item21950c6620:g:0coAAOSwsPlhXQb9
    The cool thing about it and the reason for the high price is the "Tuning Fork" clock which was the latest and greatest thing until quartz clocks took over. As I commented to @CDV that happened surprisingly quickly over the space of just a couple of years, at the same time as LED digital clocks and watches started to appear on the high street.

    Nice find Longman, that is one of the best looking clock-boomboxes. Since the box has no branding I bet they stuck whatever brand you wanted on the radio and there might be lots of AKAs.

    Thanks for the ITT Link, we didn't have much of their stuff over here but they sure had a lot of offerings. I'm cruising through the Singapore Newspapers and they did heavy advertising over there and it also looks like that was a big manufacturing center for them. I'll post more info in the relevent threads.

    It's cool stuff Longman and that definately qualifies! We had a ton of Zenith Trans-Atlantic and a few other very similar models, sometimes Grundig shows up over here and they always look cool. Down in Florida they were probably pulling in all kinds of cool stations back in the early 70's, I wonder how many stations they can still get on the muli-bands.

    AIWA TP-1004, almost a boombox but no radio. Still a neat looking very early portable stereo cassette player these don't come up for sale very often and this looks pretty nice.
