This ITT version appeared in autumn 1985 on the GE market for DM749.In Japan the two band type was sold 1984 for 97,800 yen.
I really like finding these twins! It amazes me how much licensing or rebadging was done!
Fascinating! I agree with oldskool69: the number of rebadges and OEMs and such among boomboxes just boggles the mind sometimes.
Thanks for sharing that must-be-pretty-rare box/pic! Just gives us all one more thing to keep the old eyes open for!

I agree, the rebadges are mind boggling.
That's the first rebadge I've seen of the Big Ben, I didn't even know any rebadged Big Ben's existed.

he says that the tape-deck is not working and the record-light stays on permanently.
Otherwise he states that all is in good and working condition, apart from some contact cleaner needed on the volume.
not too bad! EUR 401.00
(approximately US $609.92)

I bid on that one but wasn't willing to go over $700 which is what it would have cost me after shipping.
Yeah, I wanted it so bad I could almost taste it, but the shipping cost from Germany and the exchange rate did me in. (Plus, the cassette belts were gone.) I know I'll be sorry I chickened out on this one! I already kind of am... but at least I'm glad to find out I wasn't the only one.
Misery loves company!

I know what you mean BB, there have been other boxes I lost because I initially didn't want to pay what they sold for only to regret it later. Oh well I try not to look back, rather just learn and go after the next one.
yes
we never paid so much for one boombox, but now its ours.
and we love it.
and its a real cool box.
thats nuts.congrats man!
