Recent wharehouse find hundreds of brand new boxed mid 80's Maxim branded ghettoblasters. As they have been sitting idle for 30 years the boxes are a bit tatty but contents factory fresh!
Despite the retro tech aux in means full conectivity with modern day devices!

lol... i remember i had a Sharp twin cassette that had something called 'APSS' which basically rewound or fast forwarded to the next track automatically...as long as the gap between tracks was long enough...:man:
ahhh the days when i judged the quality of a stereo by the softness of the 'Eject' :sunglasses:

These one's have been opened and checked so should be ok, there have been some reports of one or more of the tape decks failing but this is down to the belt snapping (30 year old rubber) cheap to buy and easy to fix. The other known issue is the lcd clock you will probably need to replace the battery (30 year old battery)
So slip on the tracksuit throw down cardboard turn up the base and show your kids how it was done back in the day!

Oh yes they will - new stuff is coming out on tape now. :disappointed: Until the silliest of fads dies out. Wonder which will last longer, tapes or VR. Place your bets.

I love anything like this!
Apparently they all have various faults though, like only 1 tape deck works, or the LCD clock doesnt work, or they make `humming` noises... etc. Maybe they were supposed to be returned to factory but MAXIM just never collected them.
