A good looking box from the era, nice one.

That´s a nice Tosh BomBeat you got there , i know that BomBeat series is just a selection of "better" Tosh models, just older models with BomBeat name slapped on them and some design improvements, but how does it sound like ?

I often wondered about the tosh bombeat units the one with the remote control mostly, this one is a nice find ...I haven't found much 8n the wild

The BomBeat is in pretty good condition it just does not power up seems like there's a loose wire on the power supply because if I shake it it'll turn on and off so I need to open it up again

Sounds like a "cold" or just broken solder joint, luckily, Toshiba´s like this have motherboard attached to case easily, you just slide it out in one piece. Good luck with that, lovely box it sure is, like a RT-80s counterpart

Nice find, congrats!

I figured it out it was just a broken solder now it's up and running...crazygamer just you said...

Also the power cord tends to brake inside by the molded on connector

 

[Dr DER]

Yes I think there is an issue with that cuz it only works on batteries not with the power cord

Super finds! I haven't found anything in a long time here in 'Bama. And I have found some great stuff. Send some of your luck my way!

How come, when you re-soldered the plug jack then i guess it should work perfectly.
