We ran this thread a few years ago and between us we managed to unearth some real shockers.

We've all seen them, boxes where quality clearly takes a back seat to pointless stickers and LEDs

I'll start by challenging you to find a crappier box than this 280 watt 9 wave-band, feature-laden monster...

ha ha great thread Agent' i gotta say i think everyone will be hard pushed to beat that monster lol

      it had to be done lav

ha ha ha that's proper tickled me Chris' seems my d8614 is getting a hard time round here of late

it was begging to made a example of arron

it sure is mate

  renos latest project it will be on ebay next week

ha ha ha that's fu**in hilarious mate, pi**in myself here

Isn't there some geyser in Houston selling these on YouTube?

what a beauty

There is no way that could be 280W even if that's just PMPO

I'd happily post 280 watts through it

Come on, you don't believe the sticker?????!!!!!!!

lol, i found this online,its not a holy fail but its equally shocking its a boombox birdfeeder!

hahaha

Well, let's say the innards were all blown....beyond repair or replacement.....it's a neat idea actually

Birds' chirps from a stereo....not at all too bad...

seriously it looks like someones house has exploded and the contents landed in the trees

this is hilarious guys i'm pi**in myself laughin here

This one's genius, it even comes with a kind of torch thing...

oh dear !

This 360 watter needs speaker covers to shield human ears from the earth-shattering bass...

those speaker covers look like tea pot lids

ha ha this thread just gets better lol lovin it

put some easy listening tapes on whilst using the torch function to check for burglars

Neat, a chainsaw with a radio......what these chinese engineers can come up with...

 There's even a naustalgic wood-panelled version for the more fashion-conscious amongst us.  This one also boasts Auto-Stop-System...

@agentorange: don't tell me you own some of them!?

Well, then they maybe rise in sentimental value 20 years from now....

These designs....

we love collecting crap in blighty macflyer

OK, to steer back on topic, look what I've found...Anyone recognise those grab bars?

My dad gave my son one of these last year, I wasn't sure whether you wear it or insert it...

looks like the rc550 Agent??

Auto Stop, well I guess there's nothing else to brag about

Except the grab handles look slightly better quality than those on the 550

Made of real Rosewood?

I think I found the model up from this one

Can you smell that fake wood veneer?

It's a Redneck iPhone

That explains the SW bands!

From my collection....

    that looks about as much use as a ash tray on a motor bike

nothing wrong with a good radio mounted on a bike though

if it doesn't fal apart and tune a station or two and doesn't eat every second tape it could be quite useful in someone's household....

Here's one for you agentorange.

Complete with fake tweeters, and a 4" woofer disguised as a 6".

Nice reverse tuning scale too.

Oh superb, LL Cool J is turning in his grave.  What are the discs on the roof?

This one looks quite well thought out though it looks like Australia on the radio map looks about 10,000km to the left...

Imitation CD players.

"Well there's really nothing impressive about this box, so let's take the shortwave and split it into 9 bands, that way we can impress people with the number of bands"

Oh wait, the JVC M90 pulls that trick too 

Starting bid $59.99 on Ebay US.......

i thought they were for placing a beverage
