So im from Bulgaria and its not normal to dont have the only one ever entirely made in Bulgaria (they made a lot others aka's tough, but not bulgarian design and tech) boombox. The bbx name is Resprom RMC 323. Funny thing in those years during the communism it was a law the price to be written on the back so no speculating sellers :angelic: . The price in back is saying 465 lv - at that time on official change course thats about 600 dollars :sadno: . For thats reason is really hard to find one those days. It was pointless to buying such expensive box when u can buy a lot better for half the money. Actually its really well build and heavy super mini (its not mini its not a mid size too). Its 6 kilo box :w00t: . The funny thing a friend of mine found it in some old village house in the shed, covered with dust and dirt. I ve gave her a hot tub and... was amazed - it works after some contact cleaner spraying. Only the radio cord is out of space and a little roller there is missing but the radio and tape are workin. Its complete and no missing parts outside. There is black version too and ill try to get my hands on one as well :yes: . It sounds pretty good with descent bass for its size and not so good highs. Now blasting some old disco on the tape and watching leds :thumbsup: .
p.s and have both fm - 64.5-74 and 88-108

Its bulgarian letters on the back ( cyrillic is bulgarian alphabet) . Have strange switches - FM1 and FM2, can choose the leds pattern- showing - level, tuning, or battery (with switch too), switch for external speakers, switch for - mono-stereo and huge stereo separation :hmmm: , switch saying "osc F1" and "osc F2" no idea what is this for :huh:, have a led near to the tape knobs :huh: , the tape door open from the front panel . The aerial is in strange place... And looks pretty ... like old brick :lol: .
And '"No" i didnt see any bulgarian walkmans ;-) . There a plenty of receivers, amps, tape decks and speakers and some license boomboxes but thats the only 100% bulgarian made blaster.

You have a unique piece of equipment there. :thumbsup: $600.00?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHOA! I can guarantee you, guessing it was made 80-82, it would have sold for maybe...$30-$40 at best new. :-)

Great one! :yes:

what is the frequency range of FM?
Has it east or west band? :hmmm:
You are not watching carefully :lol:
"p.s and have both fm - 64.5-74 and 88-108"
And i totally agree the real price back than should be around 30 - 40 bucks. But who knows the " communistic planning economic" :lol: . Thats the reason i can find all kind of other boxes and this one is really hard to find :lol: . The price in this time was around 3 months salary. Crazy :thumbsdown: .
