“Here is a little ‘ghetto blaster appearance statistic:’
(items found in the last half-year on ebay and other internet auctions)
included ghettoblasters built from about 1976 till 1989.doubles were not
counted. From the needle-meter time up to the detachable machines…that
means all the blasters we are looking for …)this is absoloutely not
exact or complete cause I`m not an expert-searcher but the search criteria
were allways the same, nevertheless it’s interesting how many blasters were
sold of the different brands….. and there are a lot of interesting manufacturers!!!”
