Reli: "Who sells the double cassette one? I cannot find it on Leotec's site."

From 2022, this boombox exists only as a project - a photo.
There were no real photos anywhere and it is not for sale on the Internet.

I decided to show all possible models and color combinations of this boombox - 23 total.
Do you think this is a possible collection, to collect all 23 models? Now I will present them on previous page - LOOK HERE

Oh, I see. Apparently they are asking if anyone wants it before they agree to start producing it.
I think it's the best-looking version, with those nice door labels. I see they added a replica of the Sharp's LED meter too.

Welp, you can finally add me the owner's list. After saving my pennies, I got mine a few days ago.

The short version: The wait was worth it!

If you lot ask nicely, I might even grace you with some pics.

If there's one thing I've noticed, and maybe I'm being optimistic (a rare thing from this grumpy old man), but it seems like a lot of these retreaux boomboxes just keep getting better and better.

Now if the GD cassette mech would get electric erase...

Congratulations on your purchase. Of course you can share some pictures.

As for the eraser head - yes, it would be great if it wasn't a permanent magnet.
This budget solution - a permanent magnet and a Tanashin mechanism,
has been used over the years by many manufacturers of mid-range and low-end boomboxes.

Welp, because you asked for it nicely, here it is in my little entertainment center setup in my office. The DVD player and the TV were both Goodwill finds.

And yes, the TV is a CRAIG...I think I can hear the DankPods/James Channel fans drooling from here.

Did you remove the clear tapes on the CD and cassette cover?
So, whats happen when you press stop/eject button?
If FF or REW works when you press it?

Hi, I received my MEDION P66538 (silver) today thanks to the Black Friday deal at 149 euros. I’m quite happy with it so far. The sound is good for a boombox. It’s not hi fi, but it does the job. Having DAB+ radio and Bluetooth is really nice. Reception is solid even without extending the antenna.

The CD player makes some noise while reading discs, which gets a bit annoying at low volume. It sounds like it comes from the suspension system. It also doesn’t switch between tracks very quickly. Cassette playback seems accurate, definitely better than the used decks I bought recently, and the sound is good. It’s a pity there’s no auto stop during fast forward.

FM tuning isn’t very precise, although that’s probably because I’m used to digital tuners. The CD lid and cassette door open extremely slowly.

Overall I’m satisfied with the product. It’s far better than the cheap stuff you usually find these days.
