Got this funky unit the other day for $2.

Great find-a very unique looking Hitachi boombox.

Wow. very unique.
is it really super powerful?

Cheers OSS

For it's size it's pretty loud but I wouldn't call it "super powerful".

I like that

looks kinda some they would have in a 70's/80's sci-fi - and also reminds me of R2-D2

sweet find

that unit belongs to those ""class"" of the 8 track space helmuts like the weltrons and the fleetwoods like these [/IMG]

some designers have a good sence of humor

good find you have there. dates to the early days that one- early 70s- '73/'74 i believe.
hitachi/perdisco were in their infancy back then, even with mono boxes.
