is TOSHIBA RT-SF5 any good?

[oscar704]

i want to buy this boombox but im not sure if its good because its too small, so i think it might be too small to be good enough for me.. here are few things i would appreciate in a boombox
sound (both volume and quality) (loud enough for crowded area)
durability (im using it outdoor)
and price, good price for starter
thanks

Nice mini box, for your purpose it wont cut the mustard.

I suggest you look at the places I mentioned in your other thread. On ebay you are bidding against other collectors and enthusiasts that will pay $$ for what they want, as a 15 year old I didn't have much cash but I don't know your situation. Check Gumtree as well, Kaboom's sometimes show up for $50 or so, that's where I got one of mine.

I have three of these, they are a lovely mini box.

But, that's just it...it is a mini box and should be viewed accordingly...bass is not really present and volume is adequete, indoors.

No way this guy will be loud enough in a crowded area, but does take batteries and can be used outdoors.

In terms of durability they are well made.

They have a nice deck, auto reverse soft touch and reasonable two way speakers.

Why not take the chance on a great mini?
