Looks very promising , the 999 look around the speakers and the dark tape doors.
How about the tape mechanisms ? Quality ?

The door glass will be changed to a lighter shade before production. Light smoke instead of dark tint, so that it looks more like a vintage box.
I don't know who makes the tape mechanism. They sounded decent from what I heard. Plus Bumpboxx plans to switch the heads for Japanese ones before production.

I saw a line under the display , did not know it was a CD slot . Nice
Oh yes now i see the CD logo next to BB777
CD player has a buffer ? So it will not skip @ high volume

Not sure if it has a buffer, but it doesn't skip even if you bang your fist on top of it.

I agree, they're basically a necessity in a plastic boombox with lots of power.

Is that Melvin's arm?

Yep

I looked at the link. I don't mind giving out an email address but I really am not interested in giving out my phone number. I am sure it might be for text updates only but, they can sell that information to a 3rd party and I really don't want spam calls and emails.

I can say that submitting your e-mail address is good enough. I, too, was not keen on giving them my phone number, so I just backed out of that page. The next day I got an e-mail thanking me for signing up.

So, if anybody else is concerned about that, no phone number is required. Just giving them an e-mail address is good enough.

Furthermore it seems to have a remote , the sensor is next to the display

I thought about this fact. Is the remote the only source of CD controls? I don't see and dedicated CD play/stop etc buttons on the unit.
