    Hitachi TRK-7800E Restoration

    This is my first full boombox restoration. This Hitachi model is a lower end model, but the build quality is quite good (if you omit the awful speaker grills and the speakers). It feels quite sturdy and has some weight too. The handle gives a very good quality impression similar to a Sharp...
