Some people may remember the original thread. There are no pictures of my radios in this thread, but you will find some here and here. Here's my collection as it stands.

So, what do you have in your collections? Post away...

I take it nobody has a collection worth mentioning, then.

My list was made from memory. I'm a bit of a number-cruncher when it comes to boomboxes.

That depends!
I haven't taken an inventory yet but let's see what I can remember off the top of my head. I'll update the list later when I have more model numbers. The current list is a total of 52 (+ a few I can't recall) which is to many and I hope to eventually get whittled down to 30. I've marked the ones with an asteric that I wouldn't mind letting go without much consideration.

No.



(boomboxers)

BB --mighty righteous of you to admit to those

Like they say, when you got it, flaunt it.

(OK, I confess: just another photo I stole from the Internet. Drayton Underwear site.)

Some great collections there! Masterblaster84 you have some monsters in that list, Geoff H you have some boxes I wouldn't mind owning, Skippy1969 so do you, Ghettoblaster68 you have some monsters too, and chancenellie WOW, so many boxed classics - you must be proud!

Thanks for sharing, everyone!

Thanks RA but you have a nice collection as well, In fact there are a lot of incredible collections among us. I agree with you about having to purge some boxes, 50 to 60 boxes really takes up a lot of space. As much as I would like to have them all I don't want these boomers to take over my house so I have figured a comfort zone of about 30 cool boomers.

That is sooooo true!!

That's exactly what I want, 30 great boomboxes. No more, no less. I've thought that very thing for ages. It's seems to me, to be the the 'perfect' amount, plenty of variety, but not too many boxes! Manageable... just!

That is so weird how you just suggested that!

*TPR*, you only have an Aiwa TPR-950 and a Kaboom? I thought you would have been the biggest collector of them all!

Like minds! I guess that's why we like these lumps of plastic so much.
30 just seemed about right, when I had 30 boxes they weren't getting stuffed in various places around the house, I could manage them. Unfortunately the first 30 boxes were mostly my weakest boxes so I had to keep collecting to get the best ones.

here's my big list, ready:

AIWA CS-880U

oops forgot, not really a boombox but considering what it is and its size and it takes 6 "D" batteries it should be
RCA superadio 3, am/fm mono

sanyo m4500lu
sanyo m5850fe
jvc pc-v88
jvc rc-s5lb

philips d8623

Yep, I hear you! I was the same.

Mine too!

I like how you described the boxes as 'lumps of plastic'!!

That's a huge collection, ahardb0dy! WOW!

Nicolle, is the Sanyo M5850FE a mono?

Yes RetroAddict, it is a mono miniboombox!

Cool! I remember that one!

I have a few other classics but not boomboxes, Sony D-7 discman, Aiwa HS-po2, aiwa Fm only radio cr something #, I used to have a sanyo M9990 boombox ( not sure of the model # without pulling out the manual).

They're not that good, Sinister. I hardly ever use mine. They sound a bit like a GF-8989. The GF-9000 is a better box than the GF-575. Oh, I just noticed again she has FOUR of them! That's a nice list of boxes you've got there by the way. I'd love to try out a Sanyo M9935 and a Sony CFS-77.
