My first was a Ferguson 3T10 bought new in 1979.

I can't seem to find a picture of one on line.

It was stolen out of my car in 1988.

Well, today I have joined up to this site after spending the entire day looking at the many wonderful systems that people have. I had no intention of ever buying a 'blaster till I got started and this day is about to end with me the proud owner of a Fisher PH 702WK. I can't wait to be a bit naff and wander round town listening to some 'Bangin' tunes

forgot to add the advert

So, this would be your "First boombox"???????? None from back in the 80s or 90s/

Whoops, sorry if I posted that in the wrong area.  My first one in 25 years I guess. 

The first one I remember having was a Magnavox like this one.

By the way... I just found a pic, on yahoo Jap, of my actual, first, Bbox (mono)!!!! VERY FIRST

(If some one knows how to copy the image not to have a link, please do do it for me):

The story of this cassette player is; my dad did some work for a guy back in 78/79, maybe 80, and the guy could only do a trade, he had no cash... Thus gave this player to my dad. This little mono radio was then given to my brother and me, and we actually shared it for almost a year... The funny thing is that the sharing of it created no problems!!! That is amazing for young kids, is it not?

The death of that poor Bbox was by my brother, he had put it on the window ledge, playing tunes... He said, "It was weird, the music just sounded as if it were leaving, fading away..." Well, it was, it did, for the brother was on the upper floor of the house, in his room, and the cassette player kinda fell to the ground, and that was that...

THAT is when our grandmother bought us our own individual players... They were "Radiola" mono cassette players. Need to find pics of those, now!

Done

Thank you OMBM!!!!

So, yes... With out needing to click on the link... This is it!

This is one I just bought; haven't even received it yet, but this is the unit that started it for me!  I had to deliver a lot of newspapers to buy this.........

agreed, my ittle brother had a silver one back when they were new, hopefully im going to get a black one soon as a 'personal grail'

soon as i can get my scanner working i will post a foto from the early 80's of my first blaster  

Exellent andy....all mine are silver...my first one was black....would love that one

this is my GE 4CM3326X tv boombox i fell in love with this when i bought it! it has amazing sound you wouldnt believe it!

My first stereo Boombox was way back in 1976 a Sharp GF-9090......it was jaw dropping at the time, it cost £199.00 from my mates mums mail order book, I no longer have that particular machine but i still have a GF-9090, I remember having a Sharp sales brochure that had the 9090 as the then top machine.

I do have a photo of me and it but at the age of 16/17 i look so bad i am not willing to post it ;-)

man! dont be afraid, nothing but brave men here. (collectors)

is this boomboxs just as big and how mush are you selling it for

Well if we include portable 8-track players,my very first boombox would have been on identical to this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-PANASONIC-RQ-830S-8-Track-Player-Works-Yellow-TNT-Dynamite-Portable-/150741960708?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2318ebc804

After that from the ages of 10yrs to 25yrs i must have owned 40-50 different ones. I grew up poor but traded alot with the guys in my hood.

This is my first boombox. A Candle.

I spent many o' hours with this inside and outside.

Great features include:

-ability to ONLY chew favourite store bought tapes but leave crappy dubbed ones alone

-recieve FM stations only after a good smack and voodoo ceremony

-have antennas that droop into your walking path while carrying a bucket of paint or any other liquid you don't want spilled.

Still......she's my fav.

This topic is interesting, I would like to participate.
This is my first 2 boombox 

hic, right from the first meeting on 12 June 2011 I had to say, "oh, whyis so beautiful" and the next day I had it, bought at oh. This may bethe first boombox I bought a very high price than any boombox I havelater.
There probably will be unforgettable

 The next day was the small Sharp boombox

and do not forget to take a photo to commemorate the first day with boombox

 

 

nice units Mr Vu, Specially the m70, i finally found my long lost love, soon ill post a pic of it.

A collector some 200 km away has decided to sell out all his stuff. The first one I've bought is the baby in the middle – Panasonic RX-F32LS, the second was the one on the right hand side: Rising PC-007L. The third in the row was the leftmost one. It has many names/brands. In my case Sankei TRC-S90. I just love them all!

Nice!!! What else does he have????

Since I wanted some huge units, these were the last ones worthy. He has a plenty of smaller silver machines. To name a few: PHILIPS D-8130, GRUNDIG RR340, RR 345, UNIVERSUM CTR 4040, SUPERTECH MC-9, SIEMENS CLUB 818, 744, SANYO M9802, TOSHIBA RT-70S, RT-120S, some japanese OEMs (or how to call it). $10–$20 for a piece, hehe. 

Some Sharps – two SHARP GF-9500H none of them fully functional, SHARP GF-7500H also two pieces. There was some AIWA with tape and CD (looked a bit like SHARP WQ-CD15H). He also has this beauty: Panasonic RX-CW200 – but it has some switches jammed so it's not possible to choose Tuner, tape, and he doesn't know if it could work after fixing this. And so on, and so on... As I said, mainly smaller thingies left.

Quite long post, but you asked ;-)

LINK ERROR.aster-Boombox-Wanted

There are 4 boombox in our room. haha.

My first box as a kid was a Panasonic RF-7400, yes it was 8-track

Hey, hey... The Sanyo 3500, that is a mono box, righ?

The 4500, that one is stero... Right? 

Yeah.... That is what i thought.... I need to go through my hidden Bboxes, but i think I got the 4500, I need to find it.

If not, the 3500 has (if I saw correctly) the radio dial as a type of cone on the top left, right? If that is the one, one of my fiends (of the days) had that mono Bbox!

My first boom box was the SHARP GF-777, didn't have it for long was disappointed with the lack of solid deep mellow Bass from it.

It is true, it is so true.... The GF777 is a GREAT Bbox but does not have the bass one would think it should have!!!! But still a great ass looking Bbox!!!!!!!!!!

bang on !    if sharp had only made a better case for it .
