Honorary mention?

So I collect like some of you... I have 8 super radios (two GF-777s, one GF-767, a VZ-2000, having issues with my RX-6200 but working on it, etc.,) but I came across the Studebaker... Personally I think this radio isn't bad. Vintage collectors might think it's trash but I'm a fan.

I just put a replacement belt in this little box Wednesday along with a new motor pulley. They both had deteriorated. Then I dialed in the motor speed.

After Thanksgiving, I came down with a bad case of gout, so here I am, taking pain pills listening to one of my cleanest and lightest vintage boomboxes. I can't carry my big ones around right now but this little dude is certainly getting the job done ;-)

That's a damn good looking boombox.
It's boomboxes like these that are the easy to grab work horse and look great doing it.

Isolated speaker boxes with front ports.
Everything works except for the display light, which is about to get upgraded.

Looks like a buffalo, sounds like hi-fi equipment.
