Automotive themed boombox’s have been available for years and aesthetically speaking, I really like their looks. Unfortunately the one thing that keeps me from buying them is that aside from the automotive gimmick, they generally are of poor or inferior quality and not serious gear which is a shame. Cheap thin plastic, switches with industrial or military looks but feels like it belongs on a $5 toy (plastic and flexy). Tuner knobs that spin a crude dial instead of silky smooth weighted action, and fake graphics on cheap decals rather than actual instruments or indicators, you all know what I’m talking about.

That Watson/Tristar thing reminds me a lot of those ultra heavy Yamaha jobs. Same flat grayish appearance and departure from sharp edges.

You just described a lasonic lol. It's almost like being in a sword fight except your sword is plastic and the other guys is real.

If you ignore that I said "automotive-themed", it's so true, & I did it without even knowing it, or thinking lasonic, lol.
