Most people can remember, or at least generally know, what a boom box is or was. However, what did the grandfather of the boom box look like? Was it a revolutionary product, or just a few bits bolted together in a box? On The Electronics Inside, David takes us on a journey into the inner workings of a vintage Sanyo Portable Stereo Solid State Music Center from 1972! This portable music center was an all-in-one solution, featuring stereo speakers, a turntable, a stereo tuner, and a cassette deck. While it may seem a bit outdated by today's standards, David highlights the uniqueness and potential of such a device.
