What was your first ghetto blaster?

Mine was a Fisher. Jellus? :p
 
Man I had so many ghetto blasters I don't even know where to begin. Luckily I just made it to this side of middle age slacker :D
 
damn! i become an honorary old fart......THEN my age group gets a thread!!
 
DANG! Can I please join the Middle-aged slackers club?
 
Wait, I'm middle-aged now? Fuck.....

My brother got a boombox in 1996 or so, I never got one myself until my girlfriend in high school gave me her old one, around 2004 or so. I just listened to music on my computer.
 
Yeah I like Run DMC - So what? And I still only wear MY ADIDAS :p

I always bought whatever ghetto blaster had the most lights on it that I could afford - LED level meter = ultimate win

pretty sure mine was too diggy. either that or a Magnavox. first one with cassette anyways. got it for my 12th birthday with Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind. i might have hinted around.
 
remember when the Fat Boys were on Miami Vice?

I think so - didn't they make a movie too? I moved to Oak Park, MI (9 mile rd just outside of Detroit) in 1982 and started listening to rap for a couple years. By 86 I shaved myself a mohawk...

Bonus points if the meter had green, yellow, and red LEDs instead of all red. :cool:

Hinting around was the standard way of getting stuff back then. :D

My second one was a Phillips, which I think was the same as Magnavox in the late 80s.
