I have always had an interest in the older square 1980s Japanese boomboxes with their beautiful design. Never managed to get lucky and find one dirt cheap in a thrift shop somewhere. Recently got bit by the bug full on after I found out that a lot of them has Shortwave Radio in them, a big hobby of mine. Love the powerful speaker systems and of course bass in them. I spent a whole week hitting up every store in the Mohave county trying to find any. No luck. Too poor (barely able to keep afloat as it is) for those ebay auctions. But I like the pictures and discussions I see posted here so figured I could at least join in on the socializing if that's ok.
