Not only has my 1985 Sharp VZ2000 survived the death of albums and cassettes, it now bears witness to their revival again nearly 40 years later. Yes, that’s an album, not a 45. These boomboxes are still highly collectible and there is a whole new aftermarket of repair parts to ensure their survival.Submitted by sparksofthetempest t3_11h5xcg in BuyItForLife

Thanks! You’re welcome. I think many people aren’t aware that they actually made boomboxes back in the 80’s with linear turntables in them. It plays both sides without needing to take the album out.

Housemate of mine had one in college. Blew my mind when I saw it. Much good music poured forth from it.
