Philips D 8303

Ok, so styling isn't a strong point with this boombox. Definitely one of the uglier boomboxes I've seen - and I've seen a lot. This is the Philips D 8303 MDHQ 5 Speaker System boombox. It actually has a few few different manifestations as I've seen it badged as a Magnavox D8300 as well. It also comes in different color schemes including green, yellow and white.

Those who have owned it claim it sounds really good and has a couple cool features such as continuous play from Tape A to Tape B. From what I've seen the yellow versions seem to be the most common but are also the most in demand.

A Philips D8303 or Magnavox D8300 will sell for anywhere from $50.00 in average condition up to $200.00 for a box in excellent working condition. The Philips versions seem to fetch a little more then the Magnavox versions and the yellow ones go for a little more then the other colors.

This thing rocked my world when I was given it for my birthday in the mid 1980′s. I didn’t think it was ugly at all and still like it today.

It came with a belt so you could hang it around your neck. But it was a heavy beast so I only did this once or twice.

It did sound great btw. I remember exactly how pleased I was the first time I played a tape on it. It was Van Halen’s 5150.

MDHQ stood for Multi Drive High Quality. Whatever that meant…

Thanks for the comment and info Funky! Yeah, I suppose all boomboxes are good looking in their own way. You’re right, I’ve seen a couple of them that sold with the strap. Multi Drive High Quality huh? Sounds impressive!
