The Sharp VZ-2000 is one of the more interesting boomboxes as it had a built in turntable as well as a cassette. In fact, you don't even need to flip the LP over to play the other side with its dual stylus linear tracking turntable. It hit the markets around 1982 and became popular because you could record LP to cassette.
Dimensions 27 x 17 x 7 inches
Weight - 36.5 pounds
10 D size batteries
The Sharp VZ2000 can go for up to $900 and will most likely continue to climb in value over time.
