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

I originally saw it in NYC in the 80’s in an electronics store shop window (they were everywhere then) while on a college field trip and instantly fell in love with it. They do show up on EBAY regularly and there are YouTube vids of them in action.

I'm just about old enough that I should have been right in the target demographic yet I never saw one before now! I did of course immediately start looking for one on eBay.
