Just bought one yesterday. Can't wait to carry this at college (I'm famous for it). Already have a GE 3-6035A and I'm going for a more ghettoblaster look with this one.

Sounds great, have fun, people just don't carry them around anymore like they did when I was young, but then again, it was a different time, back then it seemed everyone had them and it was almost a competition to see who could get the biggest badest one, in fact where I live they will ticket you for having your music to loud now days, I really miss those times, but alas things change. again have fun!!!

Ya, that's the way it is at Penn State. I walk around with random people all night till about 2:30 AM and some people call pissed off. Although, I don't get it because it's nothing but college kids downtown and nothing but parties. I start 100 person dance parties outside the bars, the cops get pissed but can't do anything. The next time they get a complaint, they said they could fine me $300. I'll have people offering to help pay it, that I know hahaha

That thing rocks! They don't make boomboxes like they used to. I have a early "Decline era" Toshiba with 4 inchers and even it sounds better than whats put out now. I use a FM Transmitter for my PSP and play my MP3s through it. Great sounding unit, though I'm sure one of the Golden Era 'Blasters would put it to shame. Funny thing is the Antenna is gone, yet it still picks up most radio stations pretty clear, and I'm out in the boonies in Georgia.

@Scioneer I have a few Toshibas myself, not bad at all really, and your right they will make newer ones sound like crap, funny how things keep getting smaller but sound worse, supposedly all in the name of progress, and yet people are accepting the bad sound, not to mention all the compressed music out now, way back when everyone wanted the purest best sound possible, hope things change soon.
