The Sanyo M9935K was my boombox way back in 1983/84. When I saw a Sanyo M9935K sitting on a shelf in a Goodwill store in 2005, it all went downhill from there.

My 1st stereo boombox I purchased in 83" was a Panasonic RX5010

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

1983, Bought a Lasonic TRC-920 from an Asian couple running a booth at the Saugus Swap Meet in Valencia, California. Their booth was filled with electronics.

Come to think of it, I wonder if that was the family that started Lasonic???? I'm going to have to ask that question next time I talk to James at Lasonic

So now I have a question are we talking about past or present

like first boombox you had
like i had a snyo as a kid and sharp but sanyo first thats when my quest started
then when i had a house the sony was my first in this collection
so i guess its when you started your quest young or old its your choise
you see flint stone boombox that ira had was not really what started hin im guessing he waited untill at lest the 50s im mean 70s
see my back ground was as a kid breakdancing that statred the love of the boombox for me its just know i can by them

sorry its a bit like a rick novel

My "quest" helped me find Stereo2go, then Boomboxery. Kind of a weird "quest". My first boombox in the 80's was a Sanyo C8. Then I traded that in for a JVC M90. Then I was going to trade that in for a Sharp GF-777z. But by the time I saved my money. They discontinued the GF 777z. So then about 6 years ago, I saw some boomboxes on Epay. So I started my search for the GF-777z. Which led me to Stereo2go Luckily there was an "American" in China at that time. So I got a real nice GF-777z. My child-hood dream box

The one that got me addicted was the m9998k I found for seven Bucks at the Sally ann

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

WOW, these are kind of wild numbers for me....I mean, more peoples first radio was a Lasonic than a SONY

I'm also surprised Sharp was more than JVC or Panasonic.

I really thought Panasonic would be the most.

Wild

Sharp 24% [ 7 ]
Jvc 17% [ 5 ]
National / Panasonic 13% [ 4 ]
Sony 3% [ 1 ]
Lasonic 6% [ 2 ] x
Sanyo 10% [ 3 ]
Akai 0% [ 0 ]
Toshiba 3% [ 1 ]

A less common brand or aka eg conion awa crown vela .... 17% [ 5 ]
A top name hifi eg: marantz Yamaha sansui hitachi denon pioneer ... 3% [ 1 ]

Funny thing was is Panasonic RX5010 was 1st stereo boombox I bought for around $50 as a teen (1983)Then 25 years later (2008) while working on my Lasonic TRC975 cleaning it up and fixing bad solder joints I decided to check eBay under Boomboxes and seen another Lasonic TRC975 selling for over $800 Astonished about price I kept looking and found my 1st buy... a Panasonic RX5010 for around $50 So in actuality the Panasonic RX5010 was my 1st buy both times

 

[Jboogie2384]

For me it's my SHARP's and my CONION's. Have 3 big ones of each. Don't think I could ever part with my Graffiti 777 or my 2 CONION's C-100's (1Jap & 1Korean). I also have 2 HK-9000's. Those are the boxes I remember when I was a kid.

Sharp for me like the majhority - my first proper box was a VZ2500 and coming back to them 30 years later the range Sharp had (and that I now want!) really still stands out for me.

 

[Ghettoboom767]

M very first Boombox was a Craig In 76' then a Sanyo In 80'
then a Sharp GF-8989II In 81' then a JVC I'n 85'.
But it was a Sharp GF-8989II that I bought I'n 06' and a 777 later
that year that really got me going.
Later it was a JVC PC-55C then I started going crazy!
With over 140 I don't care now.
But after October I start again with more grails.
