What an amazing opportunity. Congratulations!!
I know we all here would really enjoy the ability to play our cassettes on a good modern portable. This might actually prove the be the hardest feat due to the fear of a limited market by the sales team. The vast majority of the world has written off the cassette despite the fact they are still religiously used by us. I would love to see this done. It could work by having something for the youngsters as well as us "seasoned" collectors. SD and USB MP3 with at least 192kbps recording capability for the kiddos along side with cassette recording and playback for us
No matter what you guys do, I am sure it will be the coolest thing the world has ever seen

I've been following this plan almost from it's inception. I'm so excited for all of the Boombox possibilities. Chris, You will do very well. You have so much vision, and creativity, that Rob will be blessed to have You there, helping. My wife just bought herself a Red Bumpboxx SE, to compete with My Blue SE. I will continue to support Bumpboxx, and Rob's vision to recreate a classic looking, and better sounding modern Boombox. This is going to be exciting! Go Chris, go!

There are a ton of hurtles to over come and I'm interested to see what is possible. I agree, the deck is the biggest question mark.Transistorized said:What an amazing opportunity. Congratulations!!

Something I did want to share, when I was in Germany, I was chatting with some of the guys there who were talking about someone who recently purchased a cassette manufacturing facility. One of the last such places in the world. And they have been ramping UP production, not down as demand is starting to rise. I heard numbers like 10k last year, 15k this year and they are expecting production to rise. I wonder who is buying/using them? Is it all of you????
Thank you Adam, You and I have worked on many projects over the years. Like so many on this site, from JJ, to Norm and everyone else who has invested so much time into the "What If" conversation. I'm going to look at modern materiel's, manufacturing processes and components that are available.THAFUZZ said:I've been following this plan almost from it's inception.

I think the part of this I like the most is how committed Rob is. That man is on a mission. In the last year, I have watched him building a team of people. Surrounding himself with the right team and listening to what people have to say. It may seem slow at our end, but in terms of production and scale, he is moving at light speed.
Maybe a collaborative effort with DJ Tech. Do a deal where you can access their electrical design etc of their now defunct model and tooling etc but build it bigger with more RMS power, a fat pair of 8s or 10s to bring the bass. (I think around 100 watts per channel RMS into 4 ohms at 1% THD would do nicely).
Make whatever changes to the component design you need to, add your cool new style of plastic front panel design and associated bling, add a pair of top panel antennas and you're all set.
Love them sliders too!!
I'll shut up now!!
