Turntable Boombox

Our friend Jens in Germany provided us with this oddity, a boombox fitted with a fold-out turntable and two tape decks. Unfortunately, we’re at a loss to determine make or model. It bears resemblance to the Marantz displayed earlier, but we’re not sure. Seems to have at least one band of shortwave coverage, two antennas and input jacks for something. This is a dream system for recording purposes, you’ve got everything you need in one device! update: Says Gordon from the UK, “The unit is actually made by Amstrad, it was very common in England circa 1983/4.” Petri from Finland writes, “it’s a Williams model 8060 twin cassette radio record player. Found one of these last summer from local fleamarket (I live in Tampere, Finland). If I remember right it cost something like 10 euros. Works great but I’m going to buy a new needle for it because the default one looks pretty dangerous to records.” Thanks guys!
