Burn in Canada provided a shot of his cool Yamaha PC-8. This
thing just reeks of '80s appeal, doesn't it? AM/FM tuner,
five-band eq, slider controls for volume and balance and logic
controls. Use it for tunes as your riding your Yamaha motorcycle
or jet-ski, or record a sample from your Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer
keyboard.

Dj Steve Dub of the B-Boy Boutique in Davison, MI sent us a
nice shot of this mid-80s Lloyd's monster. It's got twin
cassettes, twin LED meters and six large speakers underneath.
Looks like those speaker cabinets separate from the main unit.
Can anyone confirm?

This '89 Panasonic RX-CT950 is from the "Fall" of this
period. Panasonic was one of the last manufacturers still aiming
to provide nice big sound in a quality package. This system
offers an LCD readout, detachable speakers and a handy remote.
It's part of the "Platinum Collection."

Stefan in Ontario provides some nice pictures of two very
hi-tech Sonys, the FH-7MKII and FH-7MKIII. Guessing that the only
difference is the speaker style; the Mark III seems to offer
slightly better ones. Gotta like that brushed aluminum trim too!
By the way these were for sale. Chances are he's got some other
good stuff to offer if you're in the market. Take a look at his
ads here or
check ebay for some of his
auctions.

Two cassettes decks are cool, but how 'bout three? Panasonic
tried the idea in their RX-F333. There's TV sound on this one,
too! Thanks Jens for finding this one.

Super collector Mia Sparko provides an aerial shot of this collection. Imagine
all of these powered up simultaneously with the volume cranked playing your favorite jam...

Andy in Manchester, UK has an excellent boombox collection. One of his recent finds is this sweet
Aiwa CA-70, a compact but powerful system with "Acoustic 3D" sound. A bassy middle speaker tucked beneath the controls provides a more dynamic sound.
