Hi,

I found a picture on this vertical boombox on a blog, which states it as Soundesign Vertical Boombox 6 SPKR 4644. 

http://thegrip.wordpress.com/2...boxes/#comment-11391

I've been searching for one but the only thing that comes up in a search is that blog. Has anyone here ever seen this machine? If so, do you know the real model number? Or do you think it's a custom piece?

Also, can anyone recommend a UK source for large 80's dual cassette boomboxes? UK ebay is a bit thin on the ground for the large models eg Sharp GF-777Z, TOSHIBA RT-S983, Dynasty Discolite.

Any recommended UK sellers on here? 

Thanks,

We have Seen the Sanyo version of the Sound-design model in both single Sanyo M7740K and double cassette Sanyo MW800 see in first pictures below - 2 different version's.

We are not in the UK - We are in the USA - just going from your list Sharp GF-777Z, TOSHIBA RT-S983 - Sorry - No Discolight

Don't know the model number of the Sounddesign, thought it is NOT a custom boombox.

If you were to take a leetle plane ride arriving with no baggage and going home with lots of baggage then this is what you could select from!

it was my birthday yesterday james,42..hey you could you give my a box for every year..so 42 boxes then please

You got a nice collection of boxes james,and i know thats only a small part of them..

WOW!James , just picked up my jaw from the floor man......Awesome is an under statement love your pic's  Hey Kriminel99 seen those little box's over here in canada and they were in a couple of brand names one being Sanyo and the other i belive to be prosonic just not sure of there model number's.................................. PIONEER

I have one of those. It's not a vertical box. It's a mini. It has a switch to change from the front speakers to the top ones. More of a gimmick than anything else. Classic look though.

It looks like a rebadged Sanyo M7735, the spec are most likely the same also.

Thanks very much everyone for all the info - most comprehensive and much appreciated. Will be back on here soon, it's great.

Ive definately seen the Sanyo version pop up on ebay uk when searching myself, not sure if theres one on there now but it shouldnt be too hard to get one aslong as you dont mind it being badged Sanyo insted.

@James Craven Pierce : WOW! Thats like a backstore from the 80's!!!

All i have to do is take a plane there and i can choose ?

I would love to get a TOSHIBA RT-S983

Sega the SANYO Brand is the Original Brand!!

it is the other store's that have the look-a-likes of the Sanyo Brand - For instance; over in the USA -- it is Sears & Radio Shack that have been Know to put their Name OVER The Sanyo Brand to sell unit's...

My deal from above about traveling to here was directed "only @ Mr. Sega" from the beginning, but ....

Mr. Cholo1 here is the deal for you and or most anybody else

{{ If you are Picking it up from here only $440.00 us dollars for either one - your choice }} - cause there is Two (2) of those Toshiba WX-1 RT-S983 BomBeat - models's here or $800.00 us Dollars for both of those models

yep but you gotta hurry as this stuff is starting to flow out of there -= just sold BOTH or all of my Sharp GF-777's to the same person and now that he know's where I am he's gonna be buying more he actually has a list and ( as fast as he makes the $ 'he said' he's gonna be buying the best one's he wants from here )  he also found a nib Sanyo one that he like's that i thought I would have a hard time selling... Thank God

@ James Craven Pierce: i know that offer wasnt for me and i apreiciate you still considere selling me a Box, if i can make it there in a near future i might take on the offer...seems like you're wharehouse will be empty soon

Soon is relative... i dont think that this will be empty of boombox's for some time as 'we' are only selling 'them' to keep living here...

Hard to find work... No $$ - denied unemploymentinusreance due to 'company policy' sheesh..

Only Selling what will Sell -

     Primarely the Heavy Hitter's are for sale as needed for $ for above...

Cause am Certain that there is lot's of Model's here that nobody desire's and or willing to pay a fair? price for them ( Fair price to me is No More than what they sold for new ) providing the one's I have are in that condition and or still desirable...

Hummm...very sorry to hear that, times are hard. Hope things go for the better Mr James.

The pictured boombox is a sanyo model no M-7740K.... its sounds great

The early Rat Shacks were GE and Sharp.
