Here it doesn't matter what your political beliefs, social status, skin color or anything else are it's just friends sharing a passion.
Unless you are a republican!
What in the F****** H*** are you talking about you ******* *******?
Actually I find all parties repulsive in their own extremist ways, I'd rather talk about boxes than think about all the A-HOLES running the US in to the ground.
Boomboxes are my escape to a better time, or at least a better time in my twisted mind.

I have a dream...
that our children will live in a world where boomboxes will not be judged by the color of their skin weather it's silver, black, gold, or even faux wood grain, but by the content of their internal components. (Oh, and how shinny new that skin and chrome are)
I have a dream...
That all boomboxes can find a home on our expanding shelving systems without the walls collapsing or house flooding, and that they always get the love they need, even if it's just a dusting because they are 3 deep behind that new box you just had to get.
I have a dream...
that our wives won't ever make us sell any boxes, see how much we overbid on ebay for the grail we bought after happy hour, or be home to see UPS show up with 3 massive boxes in 1 day even if we already have 5 of each model.
I have a dream...
That the seller with the unlimited supply of mint boomboxes in China with the rough translations doesn't ever screw me over like that one dude in Nevada did last year when buying via Craigslist.
I have a dream...
That shippers actually listen to our over the top packing demands and that our cases make it in one piece, that when the seller said it just needs 'belts replaced' he was actually correct, even moreso for that VZ2000 purchase.
I have a dream...
That the next estate sale or thrift store I go to will have an M90, C100, GF777, RX5350, and Discolite for sale at $20 per but the seller will accept $50 total if you buy all of them.
Free at last! Free at last!
Damn I wish I could get a boombox for free at last!

No, that's very true..... I know there are some serious Panasonic's out there that are nothing to play with and they are egg's....and yet....NOTHING!

I have to agree with all thats been said here.
Boomboxery , and the hobby has been a great way to pass the time and a great escape from a troubled
world that we all live in
Lots of great people from many different walks of life making this a common place to share
A great Passion.

This site has brought together people of all walks of life, from all over the world, for one common love....boomboxes. I have made friends and met those I would otherwise never have come in contact with because of this site. It still amazes me the joy this hobby has brought me during my life and continues to bring me. This site in large part is responsible for rekindling the fire I thought would be just a memory. I have more knowledge and have seen and heard more boomboxes than I ever could have dreamed. This site and this hobby is responsible for all of this and I am very thankful for that. As I write this I look around my boom-room at boomboxes I thought were a distant memory and some I never knew existed...I must pinch myself now because I must be dreaming... ...nope it's reality, a reality made possible by Boomboxery and Fatdog, so a huge thanks to you both!!

No Doubt Melly, When I was a kid 99.99% of all these radio's were a fantasy that I never could have imagined I would ever own. My folks never had any money and asking for such things would just get you five across the eyes. Like you, I sometimes just sit and stare at these machines and think back to a simpler uncluttered life, when scrounging money for batteries was the biggest thing in the world.
Very glad to be a part of this scene (Even if Ira and Jimmy and Monchito are always going at it
)

Dang Chris that's right on the money for me too, I drooled over the boxes I couldn't have and did it practically daily between the stores, catalogs, and brochures. Even with all that lust I had no idea so many cool boxes existed until I got in to this hobby years ago, I can only imagine how nuts I would have been about boomers 30 years ago had I known.

Totally, I used to go through the Radio Shack, Sears and Montgomery Wards catalogs dreaming of a day....so many of the radio's I have now I never knew existed and I have only bought them on people's recommendation from this site
You guys haven't failed me yet

I too wanted so many boomers in early 80's. I remember for Christmas in like 1989 I asked my girl friend for a huge boombox and of course she got me the big black 3pc with cd player. A day after Christmas while picking up a bottle of diet coke for my girl friend at Woolworths in the mall I had seen the Lasonic TRC931 for sale for $160..
So I asked my girlfriend if she would return other one so I could buy Lasonic.. She did and I bought the Beast.
In 1993 I had another vision to find an even Bigger Boombox. I searched everywhere including flea markets..
Eventually I went back to Woolworths at the mall and low n behold there it was... The Lasonic TRC975 for $180. I bought it even though I really hoped to find a Conion.
Heck now I own a crap load of the huge grail boomers!!!
