Toshiba Bombeat 16 a rare one

[BoomboxLover48]

This model comes very rarely on Ebay. I haven't seen this model at all.

Just wondering how good it sounds. I got a picture of this Toshiba Bombeat 16 from the net.

Looks like a GE 6035 and a National 5350 had a love-child.
Very rare. Very cool. B)

We love to see more pictures of it and also a size comparison with a popular boombox model.

Solution to this riddle; buy one of each just to be certain of getting the right box.

Could Toshiba have named two sets the same? Bush did this in the 1950s when they made two entirely different radios and named both VHF 90.
One was a single band (VHF/FM only) set with a large, circular dial that was famous for spontaneous combustion if the dial lamp were too large, the other was a two band (VHF/FM and MW) radio in a much less interesting cabinet and with a conventional linear scale.
You should see the number of arguments the existence of two sets with the same name has started on the vintage wireless forum!

Either way they are great looking boxes and hopefully you'll get the one you want. Nice sound from either.

Big mistake! May be the sound was not optimized with the controls or was not playing from a clean audio source.

I agree too. All toshi's are worth hoarding . All relatively rare, really good sound, and not ordinarry look IMHO .

Easily one of the most beautiful designs for me... and in my opinion, in the West, rarer than hen's teeth!
