I've been digging up some of my rarely used boxes and come across my freebie Sanyo M4500K.
To those who aren't familiar with this often overlooked model, it dates from around 1978 and was a mid range stereo blaster with a phono line in, AM, SW, FM stereo and tape deck. It also has the excellent Sanyo Wide Mode.
No kidding, with the tone control set to near max, the sound is very similar to an equaliser box with the mids turned down and the bass and treble maxed! The early Sanyo amps really do sound nice. The build quality is typical 70s which is very solid and no nonsense.
I could listen to this box for hours no problem. Great tuner, really nice highs, good bass and with an attenuator, the phono line in sound and sensitivity is perfect. Watching those huge VUs bounce is very cool.
I'm not going to say it's 'nice and light' because it's actually pretty heavy for its' size. Its kind on D cells and only needs 6 to get the party started. It's pretty loud too making it suitable for outdoor use.
What's your best sounding mid sized tone box??
