Nice vintage Panasonic RX-DT50 boombox. Has vertical CD player and dual tape decks. Has lots of features such as Dolby NR, auto-reverse, XBS, music search, CD line out, etc. A notch nicer than most of the later black boxes and sounds real nice. Runs on 8 D cells or AC cord (not included). Cosmetically in good condition with a few small dings but you have to look real hard to see them. Needs detailing but I did a good cleaning on it and it looks presentable now. Asking $90 plus $30 shipping.

your units are good but seems like the guys here are limited to get 80's boomboxes,
in other words anything with cd will be hard to sell , unless is the cobra top panasonics.
good luck on your sale man.

Hey drip,
Yeah I might be inclined to agree with you and you are probably right, but the ones that I am selling with CD's are all high quality loaded with the multitude of functions that the best 80's boxes were known for. Like the RCA I picked up today.....man that thing is HEAVY and that is without batteries. It also has a rec/play timer feature that I have only seen on component tape decks.
There is a quality to some of the late 80's to early 90's boxes that is sorely lacking today. I used to think that just something is made with black plastic that it is junk. Well, in most cases it likely is but sometimes you will find a real sleeper that probably didn't sell too well because most people want the cheapest, etc.
Another thing that one of the boxes that I am selling has that I wished was an option on 80's boxes is the touch-panel buttons that are recessed under a panel on top:
