Have you ever received or bought a boombox around or on your Birthday?

Title.

What year did you receive it (at the least), and what make & model was it?

For me, I haven't received any cool boxes yet though my birthday is in July, so I hope to find one for a reasonable price around that time.

1- I was 8yo, iirc it was a **** Koss tape player with a defective FM tuner (brand new) I hate it soo much, it looked something like that :

2- Then I received a Pioneer SX-737 at my 10yo birthday. still have it. My grand-mom bought it new in 1974. Not a boombox, but pretty nice unit

3- Then around my 30th birthday I built my own boombox.

4- And my this year birthday I received from my wife a 'longtimelookingfor' Sanyop MCD-200

of course I receive and bought many audio devices, logitech z680, z5500, Onkyo 787, Fisher vintage tower, Realistic audio receiver and towers, kenwood receiver, Janis tower, Marantz receiver, and tons of car audio stuff.

Previous two April’s (close enough) I’ve had a JVC 838 and a Sony CF-490S. The 838 I’ve moved on as it was a duplicate.
2017 I got a Clairtone in a trade. Gifts to myself! No ones bought me a boombox for my birthday.

Not for my birthday, but around 1991ish, my parents bought both myself and my brother a "ghettoblaster" each. I had a Panasonic RX-FT500, and my brother, being a huge Man UTD fan, got a Sharp one, I forget the model number. Mine was lost when I lent it to a 'mate' who wanted to use it whilst decorating his flat and I never got it back, I have since replaced it with another one, just for nostalgia's sake. My brother still has his Sharp one somewhere. I used to have my Amiga hooked up to my Panny, loved being able to record some of the game music onto cassette.
