Dean’s Magnavox D8443

Dean from Boston is an avid ghetto blaster collector and provided us with this picture of a Magnavox D8443 aka the “Spatial Stereo Power Player.” This was probably the most ambitious release of Maganavox ever, featuring 5 Speakers, 3 Amps, SW tuning, Mic, Line In/Out via RCA jacks and a “Stereo” control which goes from Mono to Spatial. The system is quite large: 13″ high, nearly 2 feet in length. Dean’s quite talented in obtaining his boomboxes for free: “I had to make a pickup at a Postal warehouse, some package or something. I went to a caged-in room in the back and saw a Sanyo M9935K behind the clerk that I had to give my yellow slip to. He told me that it belonged to some guy who used to work there. I didn’t say anything more than, ‘I’m kinda into those old radios,’ before he walks over, unplugs it and hands it over.” Thanks Dean!
