Do you still play your boombox today?

My first (from my own money) sound system was a Sanyo cassette recorder (boombox) in 1978. Today i still own a Sony (1981) but it is in my bodega. The cassette players are no longer playing, anyways all my tapes are gone.

Happy days when they are the gadgets of yesteryears!!

EQUALIZER! when I see a stereo w/ Equalizer I am really like "I really want one of those" when I was still in grade school but never have the budget for those stuff. During those times I really wanted BASS & TREBLE w/ low vocals & the Equalizer was the solution

baon ko 5 piso, itatago ko pa 2 piso araw-araw para mka-ipon ng 170 pesos (each) pambili orig na cassette tape (jon bon jovi, bread essentials, chris de burgh, air supply) tapos pagnahiram ng kapitbahay, hindi na isosoli, kasi hindi na matandaan kung kanino pinahiram..
