What's your fancy? I have a few in storage that I'd be willing to unload if you pay the freight. These would be 90s vintage. |

Early 80s, must have four-band(AM-FM-SW1+2) tuner and RCAs for external inputs. |

The Grundig wanted serious $$, asking was $200. The rest were all under $100 where prices were marked. Most were unmarked. None wound up on the donations pile (AKA Buy-it-Now), which suggests something. NOTE: There could be 2 or 20 next show. For instance, there was only one steam-engine this year, a large walking-arm device, but there was also a glass (yes, glass) operating 4-stroke gasoline engine as a teaching tool. It ran for several hours on Friday afternoon. So, it is always a mixed bag of of random stuff - apart from the vintage radios, that is. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

pf: Under $100? That's my range! As long
as everything on it works. I can always clean dirty tape heads and replace a missing mast. Now I regret not having gone! I hope next year's shows are as prolific, boombox wise. |

Allodoxaphobia:
Boomboxes, at least those of the golden era (late 1970s to mid 1980s) have largely run their course on the thrift store and yard sale circuit. Most are now sold only on line, or at shows like Kutztown/Renninger's. What I have seen at tag sales lately is not pretty. So I'll just have to make sure I have those two days free in May and in Sept. of next year. The three hour drive might just be worth it! |
