This is my favourite 1980's children's film, which I like for its theme music (produced on a Synclavier digital music system and sounds truly awesome, I have the DVD) and views of architecture new at the time, and vehicles etc. It features a boombox for a few seconds at a fuelling station. I found the section on youtube. It looks like a lower-end Sanyo or something like that. Here's the link...

Flight of the Navigator

Can anyone identify it?

doubtless it is the unknown Cusack box!





within a couple of years we were not able to identify it!

maybe it`s just movie decoration.

Oh, so it is!

How did you get that still of the video?

Looks like a toshiba I had around 86, non autoreverse, and I recall it's a 1 piece. 6 d cells. Can't remember anything else.

1983
1984
it was availlable for 99 english pounds

Boy, it's easy to forget how expensive b-boxes were. That's a very basic 3pc with plastic everything, for a ton of your English pounds...
...and that was back when £100 was alot of money. You could buy an older car for around £500 then...

That is rather expensive! Even the best eggs are cheaper than that nowadays!

A black version of one of these boxes is for sale on ebay right now! Click this Link. It's a 3-piece box meljak!

Nice work guys!

Amazing that it sold for that much, looks like a small and cheap entry level box.

It is a 3 piece - I think it's actually not the one I had, they are cheap boxes, but had bass boost applied to them and sounded 'good' for their size, in actuality, they sounded awful, but good for certain types of music. I guess Toshiba knew it's market, the insides were as light as they could make them, tape transports as much plastic as possible. no other boxes were quite as brash in thier sound, from what I remember - relaxed listening - not really!
