This past weekend I was down south celebrating my dad's 70th birthday when my drummer calls me to tell me he found a boombox. Asking if he should pick it up. I asked him if it was a silver one piece, he say's "yeah". I asked how much, he say's "The guy want's $15", sight unseen I said "Hell Yeah". He text's me back with a picture and tells me he for it for $10 ! ! !

It's missing 2 knobs and a few switch tabs, but has battery cover, anttena and power cord (If you have these item's please PM me :-D )

Toshiba RT-200S

Nice find! I guess I may have to stop at some garage sales prior to the dreaded midwest winter!?

Nice! How does it sound? I always liked those funky woofer structures, they make the box look mean. :thumbsup:

I'm listening to some Cheap Trick on it right now....it's no ground pounder, but it's got a good balanced sound. Toshiba's seem to be cleaner then thump'ier. This radio is small....but it has a cassette deck with reversible heads and continuous play features, line in and out and wide surround. I'm amazing it takes 8 D cells!

Here is is with the M70 and TRC-918 for a size comparison.

This was found out in the San Fernado Valley in the Los Angeles area, but even out there, a more dense area, these things are still far and few in between :-/

Sweetness! :drool: I remember seeing a pic of this radio in a store's catalog back in the 80's I wanted it cause I loved those grills. They reminded Me of the StarWars Tie Fighter's cockpit windows.

Ha, I used to have one of those. The speakers were mounted on posts instead of against the front case. :hmmm:

Thanks Guys!

I think this style speaker grill looks better in person. I have seen quite a few that looked really good, but they look so so in pictures.

My wife and I were listening to some Def Leppard and Chris DeBurgh on it during dinner and it sounds great. Looks great with the bunch too!
