Would you ever throw a working boombox away?

Presenting a Matsui STR 525. Radio works (not tape). I was given this and as much as I hate to throw things away there is nothing good to say about it. Sounds like garbage and will be going to the recycling bin.

 

[stereomad]

Yep..... throw it

 

[T-STER]

Yeah that is bin fodder, maybe save any useful parts, aerial etc.

well take it to the good will shop
might help charity
they might throw it away too who knows
I hate to throw stuff away
there may be some one who just wants a radio for cheap

I don't think it is worthy for a charity shop, I'm not sure if I would want to inflict this on anyone else. Manufacturers should not make stuff this bad, no wonder landfill sites are getting full.

Take it apart, save all the good bits for later stuff... screws, motors, switches and pots, etc.

Or do this- Put some decent batteries in it,get a good station that all the animals and critters will love and hoist it into and up in a tree,let it play for day!!! The animals like boomboxes to!!(lol)😮😎😊😎🎼🎶📻📻

 

[metalhandbag]

Tripe bin it .

I remove the front and/or rear cases and put them in the recycling bin, then give the rest to a hazardous disposal facility.

Drop it from a great height and see what happens?

Saving the parts is a great idea because you never know what bits they can yield. Especially the tape deck parts .

I still have some red Lasonic tweeters and some blue Philips woofers that are just begging to be used in another box.

Totally agree lad, one of my m90's was built from parts and my new pc55 however if it's just low end mickey mouse stuff it goes out for the rubbish as i just don't have the room
