Turntable Boombox from the 1980's

Must admit i do like the option of a turntable on a boombox from the 1980's, cd players don't stir my soul!
I am building a collection, any suggestions i may have missed

MY Boomboxes:
Sharp VZ-2000E
Sharp VZ-2500E
Amstrad 8060 also known as Pilot 8060CSA
Panasonic SG-J500L

Others possibly for the collection
Panasonic SG-J550 (very similar to SG-J500L)
Panasonic SG-J800
Randix HG-40P
JVC PC-DC33
JVC DC-7

Right off I can think of the Sherton 8070 and Welton 8070, I think their differences are only cosmetic.
Digging deeper:
Williams 8060
Sharp System-116
International STPR-4000 (AKA Ken-Tech KMC-444, AKA Randix HG-40P, AKA Technisonic)
Victor DC-5
Sanyo C20, DC-L5
Marantz PMS-6000, Unix CRS-5800, CRS-6000
Quasar GX-3685, GX-3694
Panasonic SG-J555, SG-J600, SG-747
Diatone Z-10, Z-30

And many more shelf systems and briefcases...

I am also partial to turntable boxes and have a few on your list VZ2000, VZ2500, JVC-DC33, JVC-DC7, Panasonic SG500L and SG555.

How about Sony FH7 ? Some might not agree as the turntable is separate.

TEC 811 RR
It's basically an aka of the JVC DC 33. It doesn't have all the features, for example the turntable doesn't have auto start like the JVC but still has auto stop. But I was able to repair my TEC with the service manual of the JVC DC 33. So they must be from the same manufacturer, at least that's what I figured. They sound great and go for peanuts.

Boomus Fidelis
Diatone X-11, Z-10, and Z-30
Ken-Tech KMC-444
Mitsubishi X-7 and X-10
Sanyo C20
But the most powerful one was most likely the Sharp VZ-3000

I have to say I'm partial to the vz 2000. I had my fist one around 1990 or so. I bought it at a pawnshop in Fredrick maryland. I had to carry it out of the pawnshop to my car parked about 300 feet away because you had to park on the street in metered parking spots. Anyway people were looking at that boombox like wtf that thing is just huge . don't think it's weak it just has a different kind of loud but not weak by any means.
