New TDK Boombox a preliminary first review

[restocat]

Thanks for posting! Can you take off the handle easily? Should be just a few bolts right? If so a strap or custom fabricated handle shouldn't be too hard to get on there. Maybe even an old 80s handle would work, with a few machined parts to fit the handle to the sides

Maybe this will be a classic in 30 years and yes, I want it too but the price says no.

on the price although for what it is and does the price isn't bad in comparison plus it's so unique it might not take 30 years to be desirable like a classic. This is not a cheap attempt to capitalize on the 80's culture like many of the reproductions have been lately.

That TDK boombox looks awesome! Is that the same company that made the awesome cassette recording tapes?

Yes it's the same company

I'm getting one I'm think due to price it's not going to be a hot seller, so there aren't going to be many sold, so it will become an instant classic - a lot sooner than in 30 years
Thank you for your review again!

The more I look at this box, the more I like it.

Got the money budgeted for one as soon as they're out.

It's an 80s thing.

Well, there aren't too many boxes over 20 lbs........RX-5350, M90 maybe.......

By the way, I re-read the post and it's 31.7 lbs, not 37

That's my thought too.
I'm sure we'll see some sold second hand however at $500 I think Vladi is right and there won't be all that many sold.
