This well-built 3-piece boombox was part of Marantz's "Gold Series". Its faceplate is as thick as the ones on home stereos!

Marantz PMS-3500

The PMS-3500 is a small 3-piece boombox that was sold by Marantz in 1981. It has a unique "gold" finish. It's 22" across, 9.25" high, and 6.5" deep. It has 2.5 ohm speakers with 12cm woofers and 4cm tweeters. On the back, it's got inputs for Phono and Aux, as well as Line Out. The amplifier is a Sanyo LA4125 chip. According to the Marantz service manual, power output is 2.5 watts per channel from 200 to 8000 Hz. But that's just the minimum across that frequency range. The maximum is undoubtedly higher, maybe 3-4 watts per channel.

The entire front face is constructed of a very thick aluminum faceplate, anodized gold. It can be easily removed for cleaning. Inside, the build quality is nice, with a metal tape well and a metal tuner dial. And the controls are mounted on metal crossmembers.

Note: There's another version of this boombox called the Superscope CRS-3504 which has an additional band for shortwave.
