Ok all, got a mystery for you to solve

[ahardb0dy]

Hello all, someone from the pathfinder forum that I frequent, just now after I posted about my other hobby, this one here, sent me this message:

"Hey maybe you will be able to help me. I used to have a little aiwa boombox type thing except it was tiny. It had one speaker that was detachable with a little cord. It had a tape deck and a radio. It could fit in your hands easily. I lost it (more like someone stole it) a few years ago but I figured maybe you would know what model I am talking about! "


anyone have any idea what model this may have been or better yet pictures??

Ok you have been assigned your mission, FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION !!!!


GO GO GO GO !!!!!

to get lucky --and find it

[ahardb0dy]

[monchito]

right now tony it takes about 1 hour for him to register that to his brain then another hour for his hand to start to work so i guess wait until tomorrow

 

[ahardb0dy]

I don't want a bunch of off topic responses to this, I want an answer!! Sorry.

Tiny box with detachable speaker? Here's one from AO's collection that might fit this..

 

[ahardb0dy]

I just sent the guy the pic to see if that may be the one, stand by and thanks

 

[monchito]

that one looks like it has a speaker that comes off more than likely its that one

 

[ahardb0dy]

I'll let you know when he writes me back, thanks keep looking for others

 

[ahardb0dy]

YOU GOT IT !! he just confirmed the picture, want's to know where he can get one, what's the model number of that one??

 

[milosancho]

This is more of a walkman than a boombox. I have never seen one for sale and I don't know the model number. This is one from Agentorange collection, he should be able to help.

 

[milosancho]

Found it - model # HS- J11

Thanks

That is some kick ass team work. Now some guy, who has never been to this site will buy his old radio, get it in his hands, crank it up and then say "You know, I always wanted....."

And it begins....another fool sucked into the jet turbine of vintage boom box collecting!
