King of Boomboxes Replica
Anyone have a vintage radio small enough to carry around in your pocket?
Some neat nostalgia.
New Wave, makers of mini replica vintage arcade machines including cigarette, change, and pop machines, also make working replicas of the M90, known in 1981 as the “King of Boomboxes”.
Despite being shrunk down to 6” and then even smaller with a 1/6 scale mini, they offer powerful mid-range speakers, working treble/bass controls, AM/FM radio with dual telescoping antennas. It even accepts replica cassette tapes.
For modern tricks it can charge USB devices and can work as a speaker phone via bluetooth.
As you might guess, they have a “Black Light Friday” sale going on right now.
I know some of you collect radios and thought this might be of interest.

Re: King of Boomboxes Replica
You don't know how good you have it until its gone. I sure miss those high end boom boxes from the late 70's into the early 80's. Some of these were literally full featured mini stereos with exceptional cassette decks. They sounded great.
JVC, Panasonic, Sharp, Pioneer and a few others had some amazing units. Sadly it is hard to find one where the cassette deck is in working order due to the rubber belts and rollers that were part of the cassette mechanism. Ones that are fully functional are collectable and command a high price.
