A short intro to a piece I'm working on about Turbo Sonic, a Tokyo-based vintage boombox store.

They have an amazing collection of mint condition early 70's and 80's boomboxes , such as those featuring in the movies "WildStyle" and "Back In The Day"!

They even have 2 RoboDiscos !

@FlowPhille - Awesome ! Love that one ... Sadly, this store is now closed , now they run a Pet Store selling rare cute puppies (seriously) !

You can buy most of those at yard sales and flea markets all over America for $20.

[ImperialPimp]

@anditslikethat - Of course you can, the big difference at TurboSonic Tokyo is that these classic models are often in "as new" condition !! Even units from the early 1970`s !!!!
