BACK THEN AND NOW.

[Fatdog]

this is a great topic -- i wish i could also contribute --

but i was already 85 years old back then !!
and there was no such word or product as 'boombox'
or 'ghettoblaster'

Plus, the cameras still used flash powder!

camera's? In Ira's day they had people doing sketches!

hey hugo --
you and tony and frank are all lucky to have any pics from 20-30 years ago
of yourselves WITH your boxes --

like WHO -- back then ??- could have predicted this box interest revival -

so - even if lots of shots were taken -
i think that few may have thought these were important enough to keep
for these decades

??

 

[ahardb0dy]

that's true but I'm the only one who has the same one from 20 years ago

Glucifer, i never thought anything about it , but i guess we are really lucky to still have those pics, from an era that we love the most, and lucky and proud to share with you all . i wish i had taken more pictures.

I love this thread but its frustrating at the same time,because i used to have loads of pictures of me and my boxes,the first pic was took when i was about 13-14 in 83 with my GF9500,but since my dad died,and moving home numerous times,any pictures i had all dissapeared along time ago,i do have a picture some where of my oldest son,he is 20,the picture i took was done in 1989,he was only a few months old..

 

[ahardb0dy]

I thought I had other pictures as well, will have to go to storage and dig out the pics and go threw them, may even find some of the old Sanyo I had, I did find the owners manual for my Centrex mono radio last night CK-114

Hey Tony, is that a Ranger 2950 on the workbench? I used to design and build CB amps back in the 90s. I had 6000 watts in my car back in the day. I could set off burglar alarms, car washes, traffic lights, ...ah yes, good times!!

close, it is a RCI 2970, it does about 150 on AM, the best thing I remember when I used to have a linear in my truck was opening the outer door to a bank vestibule (spelled right I don't know), you had to use your card to open the outer door to get to the ATM, and as my friend was about to swipe his card I keyed up and the door buzzed and opened!!
