Lot #2143: Vintage Telefunken CR 8200 Stereo Boombox – AM/FM/Shortwave Radio Cassette Recorder – With Custom Leather Case – Made in Japan

Impressive vintage Telefunken CR 8200 stereo boombox, a big, full-featured radio cassette recorder from the golden age of the boombox, complete with its own custom-made leather carrying case! This boombox comes from the estate of a dedicated radio and audio hobbyist who spent over 50 years working on, servicing, and collecting vintage radios and audio equipment. He took great pride in his collection, and this piece is a perfect example. It has been kept in a custom-made leather case with a handwritten label identifying the model and its CSA number. That level of care is exactly what you hope to find in a vintage piece. Telefunken is one of the most storied names in German electronics. The CR 8200 was built in Japan and has everything a serious boombox fan could want. It receives FM, medium wave (AM) and two shortwave bands, and it has a stereo cassette deck with an automatic cueing sensor and auto stop system. Its four-speaker layout combines two large woofers with two tweeters, and it has bass and treble sliders, independent left and right volume, and twin level meters. With its silver-and-black styling, chrome handle and big speaker grilles, it’s a true showpiece for any boombox or vintage audio collection.
