Sanyo M7130K boom box:


I got this "boom box" as a christmas present many years ago, and it was one of my favorite gifts. It spent
countless hours playing the local radio station during the day, and hunting down foreign radio stations on the
shortwave bands at night, helped by its extremely long antenna. The sound quality is excellent.

I don't have the original anymore, but I spotted one on eBay recently and bought it on a whim. Good for some
nostalgia, and for background music while I work on stuff at home. This one's cassette player is working too,
although I did have to remove some corrosion from the battery contacts and the bottom plastic got melted a bit
by setting on something warm.

I don't keep batteries in it, and run it on the DC-in jack, but I'd like to find a proper AC ord for it. The jack is
rectangular (neither side is curved) and the pins are wider than usual, with an uncommon spacing, plus there's
a DC-bypass switch in the jack for when the AC is plugged in, so it really needs an original cord, but
I haven't been able to locate one so far.
