Jammed with iconography, signage, feature logos, afunctional-bling-packed, size-matters boom boxes. Gobs of switches, buttons, levers, knobs, LED indicators, needles, transparent doors, grilles, rolling-number counters, jacks, wires, handles, all with the heft of a half dozen of the largest fuck-off batteries on the market.

Somehow these grew into non-portable shelf systems, probably killed by a combination the Walkman ear-phones (visualize them in orange) and then the at-first-not-portable compact disc.
