Seriously...

Coney Onkyo didn't just make boomboxes. Here are the TR-8 (front and back) and the CR-18 (cased and uncased).

That is some great history for sure.So they where not new to it.

masterblaster84 - 2008-05-31 09:47

Nice long history but I don't remember ever seeing any Conion radios in my neighborhood.

Only if you are loading them two at a time. A 75 tonner is used for single-box movements. Still, those Conions are BIG!

Ever hear people talking about someone having a "big set of cojones" [usually pronounced "Co-ho-nees")? That's a corrupted word form: it originally was "a big set of Conions"! Big Grin

Thanks for the clarification, Arkay. I always thought it was "a big set of cousins."
