SOMEONE ON EBAY IS SELLING ONE OF THESE GREAT BOOMBOXES. THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION MAKES IT SEEM LIKE MY BOOMBOX IS THE ONE FOR SALE. IT IS NOT. I AM NOT THE SELLER AND MY RISING IS NOT FOR SALE.

This beauty is the newest in my collection. It's a Rising SRC-2015 circa 1984 and is better known as the Rising 20/20. At 24 inches wide and 15 inches tall, this baby towers over today's "cheese-wheel" boomboxes.

Ipods? We don't need no stinkin' iPods!

How pretty is your new toy? I do agree with you, no iPods, but my Creative MP3, honey, sorry, can't live without it. Plus, honestly, if I tried to get on the subway with that thing, lawd, they'd run me off for sure, or break out dancing! Hmmm, this could be fun to do. =)

I'm working on another one at the moment - a cousin to the Rising 20/20. The cassette player has new belts coming in the mail. Now where's my big piece of cardboard?!

Ahhh, the good times. Long live the classic Boombox! "I can't live without my radio!"

The sweetest of irony is to come home to see a tiny 1GB mp3 player hooked up to the audio inputs on the side of this monster.
