wow. i used to have that very model. i still have the "walkman" part of it. i think my parents threw the rest out. only one speaker worked. the belt on the tape part is ridiculously difficult to change and i ended up breaking it in the process. but now that i know the model number i'll have to keep a lookout on thebay. thanks.
Once I had a Unisef brand portable stereo with a detachable tape deck, the tape deck was pretty shit actually because it only had stop, fast forward and play, no rewind and no record. Can this unit record onto tapes? Can you use the radio when the tape deck is detached?
@raymondleeleggs You're actually thinking of UNICEF, they aid poor people, I remember my family used to buy Christmas cards from them to raise funds, I was also somewhat confused by the namesake.
jvc is the best i have some newer jvc cassette machines that are pretty good not as good as ones from the 80s but still nice long live jvc and the cassette
Very nice rare boombox you got! I once had a 1985 Yorx boombox back in 1999 with dual cassette and a detachable Walkman style cassette deck, but it was missing. The boombox appears that it was dropped because the screw anchors or whatever you call it was cracked and it didn't worked properly so I tossed it. ARGH, I should've saved it!
When I decided to indulge myself with a vintage box, I took one look at this one and was sold on it immediately. Mostly because it's small. I got waayy too much crap in my collection. Just ask my wife.... :-)
