I do wish they could have figured out the AM radio... because the radio apps around here suck trying to listen to Mariners Baseball. 6 months of the year I listen to Mariners Baseball every day on the radio. It's only on AM.

I guess it's a good thing I only have about 20 other radios to choose from.

I've never backed a kickstarter in my life, but these guys at New Wave Toys fk'n nailed the quality of these blasters!

All I can do is look and stare in aww over the accuracy. The sound is actually very nice in both sizes as well.

I'm happy with the wait and what we ended up getting. If I only knew, I probably would have bought 2x or 3x!!!!

PS, if anyone has a Mini they want to sell, hit me up!!

They sent an email yesterday saying they were going to send out some announcement soon to backers about how to buy additional units.

I'm curious what announcement that may be.

But I am also very impressed with the quality of detail and even the sound. I have one knob (balance) that is a little crooked but otherwise its amazing.

I backed the project for two of each, but it sounds like my wife is confiscating one of the Minis. Lol.

I didn't realize they were actually putting real antennas on the micro as well.

Not gonna lie, my eyes almost watered up playing with these yesterday. I'm only 35 so this is the closest I've ever had to opening a brand new boombox. And to think us backing the campaign helped make these. Pretty cool.

mini version looks very good. is bad that don't sold in EU.
on kickstarter site:
"Start Building Your Own Boombox Collection"
"If we are successful in our campaign here, you can be sure
we will give some other classic boxes the RepliTronics MINI boombox treatment!"
There is picture with future projects.

Maybe next project is SHARP GF 777... who knows?

This is definitely one of the highest quality projects I backed on Kickstarter. Feels right at home next to my Lampster light with his b-boy stance haha. Can't wait to see what mini-boxes they announce next!

What's up with the strange balance/bass/treble knobs? Did it come like that?
I believe (according to unboxing vids on Youtube) they are removable additions to help manipulate to the smaller functional knobs. The are packed seperately

Some people find the original knobs to be too small for their fingers, so they give you additional larger knobs to stick onto the existing knobs.

Yeah these bigger knobs definitely make it easier to adjust the smaller knobs on the box... especially for those with fat fingers. I figure to just leave them on at all times since I'm using this 'lil beast almost every day.
