No-name brand boomboxes proliferated the 80s from places like Taiwan and Hong Kong, that’s why this obscure MI “Master Blaster” boasting its Japan manufacture is unusual. It’s a pretty large system (2 feet long!) but lacks the quality of the Sonys and Sharps of the era. This particular model offered left and right volume control, five band graphic eq and shortwave tuning. It was dubbed the “Master Blaster;” we’re not sure Stevie Wonder would be honored by the tribute.
