now there's something you don't see everyday

Hm, this boombox looks like a Sanyo model...

 

[Mystic Traveller]

Wow, never seen such a combination in a Sanyo clone before!
Always thought that compact cassette + 8 track machines were older.

More detailed photos would be greatly appreciated.

Cool!! Many thanks for sharing. Definitely a unique one.
4 woofers - so no tweeters I guess only decoratory plates, right?
Failed to find a model number - just CARSON?

Made in where? Country of origin is hidden beyond wiring.

 

[Dr DER]

Made in Taiwan

 

[Mystic Traveller]

Really cool. Is the blue one also an 8 track player?

 

[Dr DER]

No blue one is am/fm/cassette only

 

[oldskool69]

WOW! The only Carson's I've ever seen were Johnny and Ben! That has to be THE rare bird of the season if not the decade.

 

[Dr DER]

I had to buy it at the high price of $5.00 .

What the heck!?! Cool setup and really looks like a clone of a sanyo. I had that same blue realistic radio you show in your picture.

So now that you're broke you will be selling off grails yes?

 

[Dr DER]

Maybe....... Lol

 

[mancardo]

This is an awesome unit...just totally awesome...old tape formats never die!
