Tube Stereo Radios
Hmm...the forum seems a little slow right now. So I thought I would add a new thread. Tube stereo radios are technically the first boom boxes. Most were made in the 1960's but they didn't have CD players or cassette players built in because the technology wasn't there yet. Going through all my Sams photofacts from the '60's I discovered that there were several manufacturers, both domestic and foreign that made these. I got my first tube stereo radio while back in high school. It was an Arvin 35R58 that my parents got as a wedding present in 1968. My parents were originally going to sell it in a garage sale until I asked if I could have it for my bedroom. A few years ago I picked up another one at an estate sale for $5. It was a JVC Delmonico FMS-413u. I love the wood cabinet (the Arvin is plastic, and somewhat cheaply built). Panasonic apparently made one called model 911, but I've never seen a picture of it. Anyone have any stereo radios? Any pictures?
