This listing is for a Vintage Hitachi Boombox made in the early 1980's, please see photos. This item is part of my collection of boomboxes and was little used, however because of being moved it does have some scratches and marks mostly on the bottom part of the player and some on the sides too.
Please note: The fast forward doesn't work( the belts were replaced some years back and even then the fast forward was slow) but playback is fine and the speed is ok, so I wouldn't recommend you try to fix it but just use it the way it is on playback and don't use the rewind functions. At some point in the future you should consider taking the boombox to a repair place to have it fixed such as replacing the belt and checking any other functions too.
The easiest way to power this boombox is to buy six D size battery adapters that take 3 AA size batteries in each adapter, so total of 18 rechargeable AA batteries, then you will never have to bother with cords and power outlets and where to position the boombox, that is how I use my boomboxes and no longer bother with power cords. If you don't like this option then please note that this boombox is an US model so the voltage it works with is 120v. If you live in a country with 240v then you will need to buy a voltage converter for around $10 and plug that into the wall's power outlet first and then plug the boombox cord into it. You need to also buy a power cord with a plug for your own country as no cord is included with this sale. The power cord is type C8 and can be bought for around $5 by searching for "power cord c8"
Only playback was tested before listing and it works fine, no other functions were tested or guaranteed to work, but typically most should work. On vintage electronics some knobs and switches might make crackling noises or not very good contact because they haven't been used for a long time, this is normal with vintage electronics, just rotate them many times until they start to work smooth again. Please note, I can't take on any requests for specific testing or for more photos than what is in the listing already. Shipping to EU countries is $39.95
Rest of the world shipping: The quoted rate is not accurate, please send me a message first before you buy so I can adjust the shipping cost in the listing before you buy. Rest of the world shipping will be through Germany and will cost around $80-90, and will require you to register first with the shipping company that will forward your shipment through the German post office to your country and pay the shipping cost yourself.
