Manufacturers
1975 through 1985 was the "peak" of the boombox era. Literally hundreds of thousands of different models were offered during that 10 year period. As a result, it's quite common for collectors to find one they've never seen before, like a biologist discovering a new species. Sometimes it will be nearly identical to another model, but with different cosmetics or a different brand name. This is because manufacturers would create multiple versions of the same boombox for different countries or different retail chains.
Shown below is a list of every boombox brand we're aware of. The list continues to grow, because we keep discovering small and obscure brands that only sold 2 or 3 models.
