This is the cover of one of Sharp's portable stereo catalogs.
I just realized there's a boombox in this photo.

Audiophile Jimmy up in Montreal provides a nice photo of his
Aiwa 990, a behemoth of a stereo which may very well have been
Aiwa's largest.

Gousanis in Greece found this classic Conion CRC-H58F at his
local flea market in Monastiraki. We're curious what the graph
above the LED meter is supposed to represent.

Thanks again to Jens for capturing this holy grail Marantz,
the PMS-7000. We don't have measurements on this, but you can
judge the massive size after seeing the cassette well door. It's
as if they welded several standard home audio components together,
attached the speakers and screwed on a handle.

Thanks, Marc in Saint Thomas, Ontario for this great shot of
the JVC Quintet! This is the PC-5, sold around the turn of the
decade. It breaks down to five pieces and is awfully heavy!
Apparently, the Harlem Globetrotters starred in a commercial for
this system way back when. In the unlikely event someone has it
on tape, PLEASE CONTACT US!!

Greets to Reggie in San Jose, poised in front of his Tecsonic
MX-900. He purchased this back around 1986: 3 way 6 speaker
system, dynamic wide range sound,4 band stereo AM FM SW1 SW2.
Still works and is very loud!

Here's Munk's "Disco-Robo," a most unusual portable system
designed by Pioneer, also known as the Multimedia Machine. We're
not sure what to make of it...is it a robot that plays music or a
boombox with a brain? We're not sure, but this would most
certainly fall into the holy grail genre of systems. Robot
collectors and boombox enthusiasts alike are drooling over this
one. Says Mark, "takes 12 D cells, 2 x mic inputs, echo filter,
tuner, tapedeck, all able to be mixed & multiple units can be
chained together via outputs....this thing rocks!"

Johannes from Braunschweig, Germany scored a very nice Siemens at a local
fleamarket. This is the Club 794, a seemingly well-made system with four band radio,
cassette control protective bracket and stereo LED meters. Looks like it's in
nice shape, Johannes, a very good deal!
