Two of the three boomboxes i found in my mum's loft whilst we were having a bit of a clear out and tidy up.
The third one which is a Ferguson has been taken away by my friends husband to take a look at as it's in a poor state and not working.
Will take a picture of it if it doesn't end up in the rubbish.

I have a couple like the Panasonic in my stash, RX-FT500 iirc, it's one I had as a kid and lent out to a 'mate, but never got it back. Found one on eBay cheap so at least that's replaced! Also have the newer version which I think is a RX-FT510 with the bass boost. I used to take mine with me everywhere, loved the sound they produced. Also had it hooked up to my Amiga in my bedroom as my brother's Sharp unit didn't have line inputs!

I like the design of that Akai unit too!

had all the amigas, great times, have a ps5 now, with one of these you don't need a high end pc anymore, infact i gave my pc away and i'm just using an 18" laptop now, it's a struggle to see the screen but i'm saving a huge amount of electric now

i used to spend most of my money building computers with 4 graphics cards installed

but it's not needed anymore imho...the only consoles that suck are nintendo imho
