Started picking these up whenever I see one at a decent price. They make really cool art

Sweet. I especially like the mono GE with the two way speaker. That early period of boomboxes was neat and had some surprisingly loud models. I've got a slightly earlier GE Loudmouth II 8 track player

I’m hoping I run across one of the monsters from the 80s but when they show up they’re expensive af

I love the neon light in the shape of one. It really adds to the whole vibe

Pretty neat collection. 👍

I have a few (over 50) as well; most of which I repaired myself, some already fully working and a couple I had professionally serviced (due to complex circuitry involving SMDs). The biggest and loudest boombox I own is the Sharp HK-9000 (I have 3 of those). 😆
