iPod Boombox that looks like an actual boombox

[EdBanger37]

My friends and I are looking for an 80s style boombox that has built in iPod capability that has decent quality speakers to it.

We were looking at something like this

But we read some reviews about it and it seemed it was poorly made and breaks easily.

Any suggestions for a reliable iPod boombox that is 80s style?

Shame it's not well made, it looks pretty cool:

It looks like it was made by Fisher Price. I like the idea, but it's terribly implemented.

They all looked bad in the 80s though...

They look bad NOW. In the 80's they were the bomb!

that looks like a sick boombox, but we want a more authentic one. Any other ideas or suggestions?

I've seen them for sale at Urban Outfitters.

I bought one, returned it within the week. Quality was not that great.

I don't have any photos to hand, but you could do what we did and pick up an original boombox from a car-boot sale for about £5 then strip out the internals and rebuild it with everything you need in it and enough battery space that it lasts about a week playing at full volume!
