I'm talking about the JVC PC-550W! In my opinion, the greatest boombox ever. I fell in love with this thing back in 1985 when I bought one from a pawn shop for $150. Unfortunatley, I did not have the correct power cord that depresses a switch inside the plug socket. This prevents AC power from running through the batteries; and that strange groaning sound I kept hearing that night was the batteries leaking! Well battery acid is like cancer to circuit boards and the poor old beast just went downhill from there. I have recently aquired another one and since I've loved this model like a child I figured, "what better topic to start a blog about!". I plan on posting about the PC-550W's features, POWER, resale value, eBay listings, history and anything else I can think of.
