I found one at a thrift store for $2. Best bang for the buck. It was a piece of crap, but nice reassurance to hear a mix through.

Actually pretty much all boomboxes in the early 90's had rca ins...I owned at least 3 or 4 of them back then...Anyhow just go to a thrift store and you'll find something there....

Peace

Yeah, you'll find 'em for no $$ at all at thrift stores...

Look for ones with a broken cassette mechanism....

Detachable speakers are nice to have so you can spread 'em apart a little bit...

Sony makes one called the "Heavy Duty CD Radio ZS-H10CP". It has line inputs, but on stereo 1/8" not RCA.

You could always find one with a working cassette player, and use a cassette-to-1/8" stereo plug adapter. Or working FM receiver, and use an FM transmitter.
