This boom box survived for a much longer period of time than the Boom in da box – v1.0 and Chill out box 2011. It was alive and kicking between 2012-2019

During the years it survived some abuse and a couple of incidents and only needed minor repairs (like a new battery
Right before midsummer 2019 the lead acid battery died for the second time. This time, instead of fixing it I opted to buy the JBL Boombox since it was: a) available, b) lightweight, c) bluetooth enabled, d) had great sound.
