I got the black one along with the big silver GPO Brooklyn with cassette and CD and AM/FM radio, I have them both playing at the same time on my channel.

5:34 Like number 10 which feels quite Zen. Once I heard those first 10 notes of the CD you were playing, I knew it was likely to be a TeeVee Tunes 'Television's Greatest Hits: Volume 1' compilation CD which I also have in my soundtrack collection. That looks like a very cool Studebaker CD boombox indeed and the lights are lots of fun. :)

My friend in college in the late '60s used to tape all the TV show themes. He gave me small tape reel copies from his tapes. He had the idea to issue them on records and no one thought it would sell. Of course ten years later this album and others came out. My friend had a career anyway writing TV encyclopedias and nostalgia books.

I loved the sharp angles and "aluminum look" of '80s consumer electronics. The appearance of radios of the '80s reminds me of modern scryscrapers. I need to review this video - it sounded like the radio in this boombox might be a step-tuned DSP design. That's a good thing where FM is concerned; these DSP radios are usually very decent at getting a lot of stations. I'd really like to hear how good or bad this model is on AM (if it does have AM that is). There are a couple of expensive boomboxes I'm attracted to, but I'm concerned about mechanical reliability. The reviews can be scary! LOL!

Record-ology, the light show on your boom-box is totally gorgeous! With the lights turned off, I could watch that sucker all night long! All in all, a very handsome unit! Solid-looking, too! If you like a lot of bass, have you ever checked out the JVC Ka-Boom Box? It's built long and tubular -- somewhat reminiscent of those old 1950s horizontal vacuum cleaners that you pulled along behind you. The regular speakers are facing toward you on the front. On each end are what look like a rubber tire. Inside each of those two tires is a sub-woofer facing outward toward the side. You wanna hear some bass, listen to it if you ever get a chance. Holy crap! I just love mine, although when I moved to my current apartment 4 years ago, I somehow lost the remote control that came with it. (The remote controls the built-in equalizer which gives you umpteen levels of bass in a variety of listening situations, i.e., Club, Stadium, Jazz Club, etc.) Without it, my Ka-Boom Box is stuck in a super-thumpy mode which I'm sure my neighbors would not appreciate if I were to cast all fate to the wind and really crank it!

The Wrecking Crew were everywhere in the sixties and early seventies. Here's a few artists that they were all over: The Monkees, The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Jackson 5, Petula Clark, The Mamas & Papas, Sonny & Cher, Jan & Dean, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, The Baja Marimba Band, The T-Bones, Glen Campbell, Jackie DeShannon, The Crystals, The Ronettes, Ike & Tina Turner, The Righteous Brothers, The Ventures... If it was on the radio or your television screen, there is a 50% chance that someone from The Wrecking Crew was playing on it.

It was indeed The Wrecking Crew that you’re hearing on these tracks. There’s a good documentary on them that’s worth watching. One thing that’s nothing short of a travesty is that they never received any awards for all of their work. It was The Beatles and the British Invasion with groups that played their own instruments that started their decline in the recording process,

I think it's "Studebaker," unless it's spelled a little differently for the brand name. This is a pretty fancy set. Never 👌 knew it had a 💿 CD player until ya got a couple minutes into the 📹 video. I noticed that the VU meters are digital, but the radio dial is surprisingly analog. It's 👍 like they have a new twist on this set, with a little old 🏫 school. Would be a real surprise to 👀 see a version of this, that plays 8-👣 track tapes, or have a 5 inch color 📺 television built-in. Your friend Jeff.

@@chuckermatinger3794 If you are going by Amazon reviews - don't. The reason is Amazon does not inspect returns, they put them right back up for sale, so it is a cycle of people buying other people's broken returns and then complaining that it is broken. I got 3 used Studebaker boomboxes when they went on sale a few years ago on Amazon for $20 each. I got them, and tested them, and of course they were indeed broken even though they were all with their OG box and packaging. One had a bad laser, one had a broken solder wiring on the speaker, the other had a battery that looked like it caught fire. I fixed them all and resold them for $80 each.

I currently own the version of this boombox that has the Cd player and cassette. The cassette player on that version isn't all that great. The motor noise is so loud to the point where it affects the audio, which creates the sound of speaking into a box fan while it's running, giving the audio a chopping effect sound. Listening to hip hop music or house style type of music, it would be less noticeable, but trying to listen to any r&b music will sound absolutely terrible. The CD player works ok for the most part, whenever I can get it to play through both speakers. Most of the time it only plays through one channel for some reason...smh The Bluetooth feature is where the boombox really shines. It sounds really darn good with very rich full sound. Long story short, I pretty much use mine as a glorified Bluetooth speaker at this point and stop using the cassette and Cd player all together.

@@rwj777 Ah I see, Thank you so much for your input! Sorry I only just seen this reply, I listen to all genres of music but definitely mostly indie/rock and alternative genres and I wouldn’t want my enjoyment of hearing each beat and melody to be interfered with….. Now I’m thinking of getting a separate cassette player for better quality (and just in case not to hurt the limited edition cds I want to get) and then buy this version of the boombox with ONLY the cd player, I know the CD player sounds like a hit or miss but I’m willing to take a gamble and try it out to see how it works, again thank you so much for the input! :D
