This is the last and oddest Boombox in my small collection a Williams 8060, I don't know anything about this one, looks like a budget machine, but it's cool to me.
I need to find out how to change the belt as it can't play 45rpm, but 33 is ok

In Beverly Hills Cop they had a 3 speaker version, not sure if it was real or a prop but it looks pretty cool. This is a screen grab from the movie I found online.(Not my pic)

Very interesting speaker design on the side. I can't tell if the speaker is round and the hole is oval or if the speaker is actually shaped like the opening

Love this fold down LP design. Also that BELT DRIVE late 70`s early 80's(?) font looked futuristic back then.

Actually, that box is a variant of the Sherton 8070, called the Welton 8070. It has the red badging that you see there, not the yellow of the Sherton.

Hi Bjorne, did you ever found out what the size is from the record player belt? Where can I buy these?, I have no idea what size I need. ( I need 2 pieces)

Hi Masterblaster,
Sorry for late reply :-) I did not find any belt yet, might have to make my own one day.
