JVC RC-680

This JVC is another typical ghettoblaster for 1985. They system offers four-band tuner (AM, FM, SW1 and SW2) a fine tuning knob for shortwave, five-band graphic equalizer, all-silver plastic chassis. These portable stereos often featured shortwave. We wonder how how the incidence of boombox multi-band tuning started among these machines–were they included for the European, Asian and other SWL markets? Perhaps the goal was to include absolutely every feature possible to meet market demands for visually complicated portables.
