I'm running a contest and giving away a hand painted boombox in trade for votes to send me on a painting battle tour of Europe! Check out my channel to watch the video with all the details. Thanks!
My grandfather has this, in his room. [x It only gets a signal through the right, channel, if I remember correctly. That's probably from years of dust. But I hooked up and 8Inch Rockford Fosgate Sub, to it's speaker lines, and boy, was I surprised. For something so old, it sure as hell can push these modern speakers, pretty good. I might use the built-in speakers as mini subs, and make an all new box for them, seeing as they can no longer serve a purpose, in the old Boom-Box.
the song is buy the group called loose ends. name of song is if my loving makes you hot. its also avalible on amazon.com under music look up (loose ends)
@lowfirepierce the song is called "if my lovin makes you hot" by loose ends the cd is avalible now at amazon.com. the cd title is (where are you now )
I used to have one. It was like having a portable studio with all the features. It had removable grills protecting the speakers.(not shown in this vid) It served me well from 1982 to 1992. I didn't need a home stereo for ten years. I paid about $130 bucks for it.
Not sure about the wallpaper and sideboards mate! Joke man, love this vid, the tune and the box is amazing. Manufacturers should bring back these styles, they'd make a mint.
That's one beautiful box man...I'd buy it...hahaha Hey Sparky: They go for $320 (one on e-bay sold for 320. 2 hrs. ago) up to about $1,000 bucks...There is plenty on e-bay ifin ya wanna spend the cash..One seller in China has many....I asked some of the buyers that got one from him and they had to go thru the whole thing and fix stuff...a warning for those that buy on e-bay (i buy all the time) ya have to ask questions before buying...
The music is same as the day I last saw one of those!!! But to up date the music, you would have to steal music!!! ( noone used to ever did that did they?) down loading music is a new thing, that is going to send the music companies broke) So why didn't they go broke years ago when everyone recorded their music off the radio???? I want one!!!
thats a nice sharp i have one just like that its been with me for 23 years sharp and conion need to bring them back in the cd retro. the boomboox lives on!!!
I used to have my wimpy little radio I used to tape the pirates with. You can still come across something similar at a boot sale (well not like this, this is awesome) but you can get an old groove box f'sure.
My little box didn't stop me from springing cassettes in. Got some nice grooves.
I wanted one of these when I was 13, for my Birthday present, back in 1983. IT was the talk of the town! One of my best friends had just picked one up. Parents rejected that request, BUT I did manage to talk them into the next best thing att teh time, from Sharp. The GF9696Z! Which, was an AMAZING piece of workmanship, and provided many many years of flawless service until it was ripped off from me in 1994. If I ever see that F'in theif again, he better run and hide. BRAD, I"m on the HUNT!
i used to tape the uk top 40 on sunday afternoon in the 80s and then run out to the back of our garages and play the tunes to everyone outside on my ghetto blaster, once i had removed the dj talking over the tunes !! ohh sweet days i loved ghetto blaster. oh analogue cassettes always sounding fat warm and bassy !
@1slowturtle yeah. ghetto blasters came from a time when a man's cassette/radio was judged by how many extra buttons it had. ipods come from a time when people are too stupid to even use 1 button.
Remember boys and girls, proper "Ghetto Blaster" etiquet requires that you blast at least a good 100 decibels in public with the boom-box strapped directly to the side of your head ensuring that you and everyone else on the block goes deaf. :D
I had a gf-777 in the late 70s, but it was different to this one. It had a front panel containing record level faders and a fadeable mic/line input. I used to do multi-track recordings using keyboards, mic and guitar on this, and apart from the obvious signal degredation after 20 bounce-downs, the quality was comparable to a 4-track portastudio. I eventually sold it due to the fact that after being up all night recording, I'd be too shagged out to carry it about during the day! Sorely missed!!!
that shit is tight. i wish people still called them ghetto blasters. "boom box" popped up out of nowhere in the 90s. You gotta hold that shit on your shoulder, put on a headband and breakdance man, what the fuck.
i am selling mine ;-)
