This is definitely a JVC RC-646 it comes in a silver colour.
The JVC RC 636 comes in black colour.

Thank you for sharing the video DPaignall !
I really love this kind of topics.
If i was to take a guess i would say that this was David Byrne's (Talking Heads singer)
boombox .

There is a picture of him boarding on a plane to Mexico carrying it.
I love this pic and this is the reason i have this boombox high on my wantlist.
(Anyone that has one can contact me!)
This Is a Lyn Goldsmith picture featured in Lyle's book which is like the Holy Bible and one
who reads this cant forget the pics which are all chosen so carefully.

Brilliant recall as usual! Thanks!

Deech : What a great post. It's added to my list too! Late seventies and eighties music is my fav - ties in with the boom in boombox sales too!

I recognized it immediately! It was my first boombox ever that I owned in the ‘80s just before Dad bought my M70 for me. I’m still trying to find a decent example of the 646JW. Interestingly, the 646LB has a white radio dial panel. I want them both.
