Interesting video here...this thing takes a pounding!

Makes me wonder if it'll hold up to the worst case scenario of all - UPS employees.

Whoaaa, this thing is massive.
You don´t need to pack it safe when shipping.

Btw: with fins
It would have been a good joke, when a UPS truck has rolled over it...

I have always wanted to see a retrospective picture collection
of job-site Boomboxes from 70s to today.
A lot of interesting designs happened
As i pass them at Home Depot, I tip the hat to the only radio type that never truly went full-egg.

Cheers OSS

... full-egg.

Want to do the same test with such egg....

Yes you can just ship it Ira style..........
Just throw a stamp on it and ship it out,no box or anything.....
LOL!!!!

That is pretty incredible.
We need to get reusable shipping boxes made out of that stuff.

Wow! No need for packing at all when shipping that. Just slap the address label on it and send it on it's way - lol!
