This is super interesting, the Crown CSC-640 Boombox from 1977, a very nice looking early stereo boombox. What's interesting is that it's distributed by "Bigston Electronics Company." Bigston pops up a lot and most of their equipment looks underwhelming, did they have a tie-in with Crown Electronics? It looks like a lot of the Japanese Manufacturers hooked up with local Singapore Companies to manufacturer equipment, we had a similar situation in the USA with cars and some electronics.
