What Boombox Are You Cranking Up Right Now??

It's a great box for the outside, but I'm afraid that if I fire it up indoors, it'll fire up my ears with over-crispy highs. :-D Still, I'd probably never sell it! :no:

Here's mine:

It came under the Eaton-Viking and International names as well. ;-)

You wouldn't want this box... It's back feet are broken off. :sad: I've been thinking about taking the back case off my Trident and putting it on the Prosonic, but the info doesn't match. :dunce: It would finally be in near excellent physical shape tho... :hmmm:

I believe that I've never tried that switch. But if I did, I didn't like what I heard enough to use it again. :-D Almost anything that stifles the highs cuts down on the enjoyment of the music. It's a shame that cutting back on the treble does nothing to solve the problem of bad tweeter design. :-/

Sony CFD5 at work, working through all my old-skool tapes, checking the tracks I don't have on digital (CD, MP3).

I'm up to 1991 now :-)

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.

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.

I NEVER post on this thread.

But TODAY, I am so happy, that I will place my first post on this thread. Got news that one of my escrows funded this morning so that means close of escrow tomorrow! Happy Day! Now, if only I can get my other 2 escrows closed, then I'll be able to pay my taxes next month! :-O

Anyhow, today, thought I would dig out my SK-95. Here it is sitting atop my work backlog :-O . I forgot how big/wide this boombox is. :yes: Not the heaviest hitter, but very pretty and sound is top notch.
