Even discount brands like Yorx jumped into the “stereo-on-the-go” market early on. But at first glance, this doesn’t look very cheap, does it? Black with silver trim, illuminated meters, LED on the tuner, balance and tone control… this model was inexpensive by 1979 boomobx standards at $119. How ironic that such a price tag in 2002 would be considered high for a portable stereo.
