Hello to all of you like-minded folk from me. I'm John, 48 years of age and I stay in the far North Eastern corner of England, just a little way sou' west of the Scottish border in the barren wasteland that is Northumberland. (OK, it's actually lovely here but it's never been cool to admit as much). 
As well as the massively heavy yet physically ultra-slim gem that is the box that gave me my forum handle, and the massively heavy but not even slightly slim, leatherette and wood extravagance that is my 1974 Hacker RPC1 cassette Sovereign (mono), I have a few others, including a well-preserved Technics SAC-05L that I've owned since it was new, 30 years ago. 18th birthday present from the parents that was, it's not been reliable by any known definition of the term but I love it and besides, I restore stuff like it for enjoyment. I now know that there are others similarly afflicted.
I'm looking forward to posting on here, it's a good place to be by the looks of it so far.
Now, where can I post piccies I wonder? Assuming anyone wants to see the most diverse machinery from my collection.

over on here. 
Few of that number are items that could be described as boomboxes though, since apart from my B&O and my Technics boxes, this type of equipment is a relatively new area that my collection seems to be taking.
