I noticed that naked guy too. For a second I thought to myself, "This guy is taking his love of boomboxes to another level!" But then I realized that it was "Boximedes," the Greek god of boomboxery. It's good luck to have him present in any boombox collection. In fact, legend says that if you rub his package you will be blessed with an untold amount of grails!!!!😃
Ha. I showed my girl the pics and all she said was what's up with the naked dude. I said Wtf are you talkin about!? Oh yeah...there is a naked guy in there.JustCruisin said:I was too busy checkin out the elephant on recline, chillaxin in the lazyboy..
There's some boomers in there I've never seen before. Still waiting for some info.
Wwwwoooooooooow oh my god! Do you own a retail store and keep your collection there?????
Thanks! But I do not own a retail store
Just enough old factory space to store and put up a small private exhibition of my collection.

Just when I think I've seen it all here on Boomboxery, here comes another jaw dropping post!!! Speechless!!!
Actually I got a few questions:
How long have you been collecting?
How many do you have total?
Where is your collection located?
Is it open to the public?
What do the letters spell out in your display?
Thanks man! Really nice to hear that you guys like the collection.
Actually I have been actively collecting only for 5 years now. But I started casually pick up cheap radios along with other collectables from fleas and second hand stores in late 90's. Getting in touch with real "ghetto blasters" begun accidentally in year 2001 with Elta Masterblaster which I found from a pawn shop. Now I probably have way over 200 boomboxes including mono boxes. I have not counted or listed them since 2013 Collection is in Finland and it is only open to friends and some fellow collectors for now.
I hope that I could make the collection available for the public (among with other vintage electronics and collectables) in the near future. Perhaps in 2-4 years). When a right space is found and and proper "business plan" to finance the project has been made to make sure that I will not make a huge loss with the it Surely it will need a lot of planning and designing to make it worth the effort. But I do believe it is worth a try. I think there is not yet an uniformed collection of boomboxes permanently displayed for the public in any place of the world? I mean a museum, not just an exhibition. Or is there?
Letters are just random letters from old neon signs. Used them just to give a urban outdoors twist for the show. I have already GF, RT, RX, VZ, RK among some other, but they could not be fitted in yet.

Keep up!Museum - I haven't heard of yet.
One of my pals in hobby here in St. Petersburg owns 500+ of bbx stuff, one of the biggest collections in Russia
to my knowledge,
he's been trying to create a museum as well but to no avail so far.
I can only say wow.
If and when the museum opens, im gonna be there. What a quality collection of boomboxes.

What a display! Superb! One tip tho; make sure you have a theme in your collection. Visitors of a museum like to learn something from visiting a museum. A short exhibition will work without a theme, but a long term museum won't. The boxes are beautiful and the display is awesome, but it's lacking a clear story right now imo. I'm working in the museum business.
LOST and now FOUND!
Very complete collection even including a silver 550!!
I'm lovin' the inclusion for the often overlooked Hitachi TRK-9140 x 2!

Was there an M90 in this collection somewhere or are the big JVCs in the other warehouse?
Exactly: lost & found I totally agree, TRK-9140 is great quality box, but sadly a bit underrated. It probably weights more than any other box concerning weight-size ratio.
And yes there is a M90 in the third pic: between GF-9000 and SCR-2015. Could not yet find a throne for the King I certainly should get more shelves to display all the most important units on a proper spots.

😃😃😃 Modern Boximedes, Hertzeus, Microphonicus, Potentiometer and some lesser bigwigs of the ancient are blessing those who rub their woofers and tickle their tweeters

Reminds me of when I had the privilege of seeing James67s collection, I think you guys must be related
That would be great! 😊 I have seen that there are great collectors with huge and awesome collections all around within the BBX society. As everybody knows, a challenging thing about collecting boomboxes is that even a small or medium-size collection still needs a lot of space and effort to get the display setup work nicely. Mostly without contribution from girlfriends and wifes
