New Find! My Philips D8714 "The Elephant" Ghettoblaster

[masterblaster]

Finally I made some decent pictures from this beauty! Two Philips microphones Hi-Fi N8404 attached.

Very nice boombox.

Congrats! I have the same model, and the same microphones too. But, the stands don't really fit. They have to be forced in, or maybe sanded down. I don't think they were actually intended for this boombox.

You are right! I took off a part from the plastic stands, so I can just shove these into the grooves. I just need two Dust-Wind protectors.

I have the electronic tuner version. Cassettes don't work on mine. I didn't get a chance to open it up and see. Mine looks too complicated.
Not the picture of mine, but very similar. The power on buttons are red and green.

Even when the Cassette belts are broken, you still can play music by Cassette-adapter into your phone!
