Emily had some fun a while back with the camera. This is one of the craziest shots. I still don't get it.

Sharp GF-9494X
Sharp GF-9494X

What I look for in a boombox/ghettoblaster:
  • Big (the bigger the better)
  • Mostly silver in color
  • One piece design (no detachable speakers)
  • Lots of chrome
  • Large woofers (chrome caps are a big plus)
  • Square/boxy design
  • Lots of knobs/switches/buttons
  • LED/Analog VU meters
  • Inputs for MP3 player
Here's one of my favorites. It's the Sharp GF-9494X manufactured in 1979. It was recently dressed with replica grille labels that I made with Photoshop using source images from eBay. The labels are a nice mix of pre-existing typefaces and hand-drawn elements (all vector shapes).

Isn't it a beauty?
