Today I'm actually listening to my little Montgomery Wards Airline. It's actually a nice little radio with features that make it usable. I like the single output meter. It has a great Mono/Stereo/Stereo wide feature and decent bass / treble controls. It has a really great tuner and fine tuner to get in long distance stations. The cassette player works well, but I think the head is tired. I still need to replace the antenna and make a battery cover for it. Other than that. It sounds good, works well.

wowie me like,
and hey,
wards montogmery was the brand that inspired me to get on to boomboxes.
( i was looking for a portable tv, and found one wards boombox with tv or so...
then i thought... hmmm, i want a boombox. i had never had a big one, just a mid YOKO
when i was about 8 )
( then i saw a vid on youtube with a GF777Z, and said: that does , now i must get a box )
( i have neither a wards montgomery or a gf777z so far, but hey! )
Hey Eldorado,
I've seen some cool Monkey Wards boxes although they tend to be very small. This one is only 36.9 cm x 21.6 cm with 10 cm speakers, but if the music you are listening to has bass, it will reproduce it even when loud.
My first box was a mono box, single speaker and although I don't remember the exact model, I think it was a Sears. It went every where with me. I was probably 11 years old. I am still looking at smaller mono boxes trying to see if any look familiar.
This box doesn't have a line in, but I use a cassette mp3 player and it works great.
