Yes please, let's see a vid on improving it. 🙂👍

I remember in the 80's when all the kids were rocking smooth jazz on their ghetto blasters!!!

I don’t get why a company like Sony doesn’t make a modern version of this, give it CD, cassette, Bluetooth. Dan radio, mic input and awesome speakers. Give it some custom faceplate colors and it would sell very very well

Usually I'd recommend a proper retro boom box, but actually these days for sound quality I'd say a high end Bluetooth speaker got much better sound quality than even the best boom boxes from the 80s and 90s.

I bought the gold one of those ghetto blasters. It's fine for me, I like playing my recorded tapes from my hi fi on it. I tried recording on it but that was a bit shit , the radio is brilliant it picks up FM clear as a  bell. In the summer I will enjoy it better in the garden with a few beers!

I say gut it and replace each part with decent gear to see how nice it could be.  That is a huge project mind you.

so far curtis is leaDING

Jay car is like a nerds paradise these days. I go in for a resister, and come out with a bunch of shit I don't need.

Underneath the fake set of tweeters that are underneath the other fake set of tweeters should be some fake mids...and fuck it, toss in another set of fake tweeters. Then it would be perfect.

Спасибо за видео, я чуть не купил эту коробку  бесполезную.

Digitech Harmon was a Salt lake city based company making some of the best us made guitar effects pedals processors I used to work next door to them sadly it was sold to a chinese company!

The middle row, are actual tweeters.

Crosley has one just like it. I think they're all made from the same company and just rebadged

Almost felt like a Techmoan video which I enjoyed. I'd love to see an upgrade video. Not too long ago I did an upgrade to a vintage but inexpensive boombox. replaced the speakers and added a bluetooth module. The tapedeck still doesn't work, but I don't own any audio tapes, so It wasn't something I was concerned with. I'm pretty happy with the sound quality, but I have seen videos where they say replacing things like Op amps make a huge difference. I'm sure you could also do some other tweaking to the audio circuit to improve sound quality. The tape mech is garbage, so I wouldn't expect miracles unless you can swap it with a high end one. You could add some real tweeters and make some crossover boards fairly cheap. I used to make my own when I first got into car audio. Sky is the limit. Worlds greatest sounding boombox would probably get a million views as a short.

I think you should mod it. Fix the tape mechanism, wire the VU meters in properly, fix the buzzing, add tweeters, stencil a SONY logo on the font... 🙂 You probably think it's not worth your time, but I think it looks like it could be hackable into something fun.

Great reveiw

It would be interesting to see how far this thing could be improved, i.e. adding tweeters, fixing VU meters, removing buzz/hum etc.

Looks like rebrand of the riptunes i just got. I'm surprised digitech put their name on it though

@19:38! Thanks!
