Yes I'm a child of the 80's. Decent technology was just starting to make its way into the home, and the boombox - to me at least - is an icon of the time!

When I first saw that Fisher boombox/keyboard in the intro I thought it was the Casio one, as I was unaware that anyone else really tried it.

Iike boomboxes. Bring them back with USB, Bluetooth and colour LED lights. Amazing and very good quality of sound.

I had a JVC PC55 Portable Component system in the early 80s. Full logic, detachable tape deck with Dolby C. Amazing sound quality

Your dads boombox is wild, love that array of mini trs connectors for docking. Such bold shapes, colors, grid lines, and overly verbose feature labeling (I recently saw an electronic translator with "Pulse Code Modulation" proudly emblazoned across it) . Thats a great collection! Thanks for sharing it.

I was born in 86', but I love 80's boomboxes. I love quality, simple, and charming things. Digital era has no soul

Oh Man! You got me with all of these Boomboxes... I used to have and collect them as well... I am always visiting Goodwill Stores and Salvation army... I picked up few decent ones from there, cleaned them up, and restored them... Pretty cool Video, Bro... Thank You for Sharing!

The one @0:28 was marketed worldwide in various colors and brands. I have one the was re-branded as Sears and got it for Christmas in 1984? It was a Sears SR 2100 series boombox With shortwave radio. It sounded so amazing. Great video thanks for sharing your collection.
