This (Saturday) morning I attended the winter meet of the Michigan Antique Radio Club in Farmington Hills.

I found some interesting stuff (like a couple of shortwave sets and a Grundig store display rack), but, sadly, there were no boomboxes... except for this:






On the back, a nifty transistor radio.


Inscription says, "1985 Yuletide Concepts Inc. New York 10010." Yes, a genuine article from "back in the day"! Zowie!!!

(Let's hope there will be some real boomboxes for sale at the summer EXTRAVAGANZA in Lansing.)

that kicks a$$

Non-vintage. Just a couple of "modern" (but not recent) analog sets: a Sony ICF-SW600 and Realistic DX350. Adequate, but nothing to write home about.

cool.Sony is a Good radio The Dx 350 is a Dog

That is a very gymnastic little boombox

Oh yes, way cool!

A "Transformer" knock-off boombox? That thing is sweet! I would have grabbed it, too, just for decorative value beside/amongst the real boomboxes. Might have started life as a silly toy, but these days it's a good catch, IMO.
