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.
