Here is my little review of this boombox:
The design is a copy of the SHARP 575.
I like this look, as well as the layout of the buttons and functions.
Radio:
The tuner works well and receives a lot of stations without even opening the antenna.
Cassette:
We commented on the cassette mechanism used in this boombox.
It has it's pros and cons.
It is currently new and works quietly and without any complaints.
The auto-stop at the end of the cassette also works.
I haven't tried recording, because I make my recordings on a cassette deck.
CD player:
It works well with original and recorded CD-R discs.
It also plays MP3 CD-R discs well.
The display only shows information about the song number.
There is no CD text or MP3 text.
MICRO SD / USB player:
It plays MP3 files well.
The display only shows information about the song number or folder.
There is folder navigation (+ -). Тhis is good for finding individual albums.
Тhere is no MP3 text.
Bluetooth:
It connects easily to a phone or other device. The display says PAIR.
Line input and Mic input:
The line input is suitable for connecting other audio devices.
Mic input have volume and echo controls.
Display:
Shows information about the different sources and for CD and MICRO SD / USB players.
VU meters:
They have lighting. They show the signal level and do not depend on the volume control.
Treble, Bass, Volume:
When adjusted, information is displayed on the display.
The sound quality is good and there are no vibrations from the plastic housing.
The volume is sufficient for a medium or larger room.
Power supply:
AC 220 volts. DC 12 volts on batteries, I have not tried it.
In conclusion, I can mention that I am pleased with both the design and the capabilities of this boombox.
I miss the remote control from the Japanese version.
Whoever has decided to get something with a retro design and modern functions will be satisfied.
This is my personal opinion and I am not trying to advertise the product, but to share my observations.

Congrats on the change.
That looks quite different.
How did you do it with paint?
How did you color the door - did you disassemble it?
I like the sticker with the boombox on the door of the CD player.
Show pictures of the other sides of the boombox.
Show this model with the 3 speakers too.

I have been giving my vintage models a break. Today I have been blasting my aiwa backtrack this entire evening and I have come to the conclusion that this boombox, without a doubt, is the most fun a man can have with 8-D batteries 
Down in my basement with the volume and my phone all the way up for 4 hours streaming my favorite tunes. My Tenergy 10,000mAh NiMH D's hung in there. The tweeters survived some harsh moments and the bass did not distort. I'll worry about hearing damage tomorrow.
