Hi all. I'm new here lol.
Im from the scotland and just getting into boomboxes and tend to go for the ones that look better than pure performance.I've started my collection with a Philips D8444 mainly due to its looks.Looking forward to increasing my collection and learning more about them.

Welcome Biggie, the looks and 80s style are a big part of why we love em but dont underestimate how much fun it is to use these things as intended.

Welcome to the party pal.

Form over function! Welcome aboard.
In the 80's it was all about flash. If you had flash and loudness you had it made.
The more dials, switches and doodads the better
