ROAD TRIP

Very nice glimpse of something we dont see every day.
I love the Jah Music House! So many new tapes. I bet they got some nice reggae in that joint.
and talk about chinese knock offs - Sonny, Panasoanic, Nakai, even a National.
Great shots Lyle!

Incredible, never thought I'd see something like that.

I'm digging the Mono box in slide 20 with the twin antennas.

 

[blah blah]

great stuff!!

I wish they would become members here!

I think Lyle is almost as crazy as we are about boomboxes.

the vibe coming out of those people and places is simply outstading !!!

Very neat stuff!!! Lots of Sonnys and Pan Sonics. Saw a crazy disco mono like Vienna has! Thanks for sharing the link!

 

[redbenjoe]

Thanks Red' for posting a link to this -- and thanks for the heads up about it. Also glad all of you enjoyed the story -- despite the doom and gloom that we often see in the news from Africa, there are also many positive stories. I meet so many happy people here all of the time.

My question is -- does anyone on Boomboxery know of any collectors of Boxes in South Africa? I'll be stationed in Cape Town for a while and it would be great to meet some other collectors while I'm down here. Any leads would be great.

In the meantime, all the best from the tip of Africa.

Great James -- let me know what you need and I'll try to help you out. I am still in South Africa -- will probably be here for a few more weeks as work is going well here under the warm summer sun!

Good luck on your show!
