A boombox in a time machine

Hi there,
I have recently met Marty McFly and asked him to go back to the past and take me something special with his time machine.
And today arrived! It's a Toshiba Bombeat X-01, directly from the 80's in a time-capsule!
It's a brand new, never used and opened for the first time now.
I'm not sure what year was it released, but I guess early 80's. With a wireless control and such a full set of features it's pretty impressive!
It even has a demo tape and some advertising carpets...
I don't know what to do with this because I'm not sure to keep it or to sell it. I still have to decide. But undoubtely it's an impressive museum piece!
Hope you enjoy

Yeah, it's indeed a great box. Seems unbeliavable. I'll test it this weekend thoroughly and see if it needs belts, etc...

Oh wow I had one of these when I was in the Marines , In japan.
Where can I get one of these, willing to pay top dollar.

That's VERY nice! If you power it up, just make sure you turn the volume slider down first, it would be a shame to cause a blown woofer or tweeter on its first use. I couldn't help but notice it was near the top.
If it was me, I would keep as it is, and take it out and power it up every now and again. I wouldn't have the heart to abuse it with every day use, and permanently remove it from its packaging after all this time. Leave it be.

That is fantastic ,incredible Where on earth do you guys keep finding these boxed beauty's ?????

cabc949, if Walkman Archive plans on selling it, he might well be wanting to keep it in the circle of well-known, long-time members here - so it doesn't disappear and go off the radar. If I was him, I'd be keeping it.
