i see you guys referring to boomboxes by shape names. can somebody explain those names? an egg is easy to figure out but what the heck is a "cobra" for example?

A cobra is an egg that the top panel flicks upright to reveal switches etc giving a cobra snake look. i think there panasonic's and quite highly regarded (for an egg lol).

yeah, nothing like a cobra really lol.

panasonic made a series of 'cobra tops ' similar to this #707 --or #909
(photo is from a member collection -not sure of the exact # )
all or most were also 'egg ' shapes...
anyone interested in concert hall sound ( small hall ) 
would be thrilled with the output of this model-
its a 29" wide body --sound is awesome

wow, never seen one of those "cobra tops" before. i generally ignore round boomboxes so who knows how many i may have passed up from a distance.

the top also has a real cool slo-mo motorized lift
