hiii there!
im daniel form cologne germany and im totally boombox infected since some weeks..

well i actually was looking for new kitchen radio (my old one sucks male genital parts) and some aktiv highend speakers for 400eurobucks would have been a bit to much (i have some nice ones from nubert in my livingroom).. so i got some superduper small ones ..wich totally sucked.. they sounded like a trashcan, well even a trashcan would sound deeper and better.. i hope u wont kill me but maybe i give the front a litle spray paintjob and a nice warm red color (fits my wall color in the kitchen http://imgur.com/56kcz )
soo i was ebaying around and stumbled upon boomboxes.. wwwwooow 80s stuff that looks amazing and all the chrome shiny plastic and 10million levers and switches .. cool .. and bäääämmm the boombox fever struck me hard.. well after lots of research.. actually not in this forum (i could kick my butt because i was to lazy to register).. i wanted something simple and cool looking with stereo like sound and not to much bass.. well i hope the panasonic will kick ass.. and ill listen to my only favorite cologne student radio station and will plugin my mp3 player with a linein/phono converter.. the good thing about the blaster is the working tape.. soo i guess ill reactivate my marantz dc tape deck and make some nasty mixtape... and then ill terrories those grilling students in the park with my blaster muahahah when im an sunshine grilling action ....
ok enough blablablaaaaaa .. well nice to be here in the forum.. im usually a 3d grafix architecture guy, love a good mix of 1920 bauhaus, 60s 70s and stuff that fits the stuff before , and im always on the hunt for cool stuff for my apartment (like my new 60s danish style big ufo ceiling lamp)....
well seeya , daniel

The Panasonic RX-5500 is a classic, beautiful boombox. You will love it very much and I am sure it will be the first of many boomboxes. 
It's an addictive hobby, krassi...you've been warned 
.. and yes im afraid it will not be the last one.. i guess ill start going to local flea markets (flohmarkt in german i hope its correct, well the place they sell old stuff , non-electronic-ebay 
I wish you good luck on the flear in cologne and maybe one time we meet at the aachener weiher
