Mine was pink and horrible. But I loved it. I mean, they were cheap and lasted a long time. In fact, every now and then I visit some local shops and still find them around.

Recently dug one up. My older kid is interested in retro tech, so he has the boom box, a record player and a cassette player. He’s started buying vinyl and cassettes, and discovered my old crate of CDs in the basement

I did not remember I had one till I saw this.

i have one with tape and radio. it has rca line in and out, so it’s only use the last couple decades has been to hook up to a pc for tape to digital conversions.
