Vintage Boombox Values

I have compiled a list of recent sales for many of the popular vintage boomboxes. You can scroll through the list to find the brand you are interested in and then read the titles for specific information on the model etc.  The titles are pulled directly from auction listings so they aren’t always as informative as one would like. All listings are completed so the price listed is the final sale price.

  1. FWIW, I just purchased a Toshiba RT-SF5 at a thrift shop for $6.95 which is somewhat less than “one recently sold in working condition for $47.00” as mentioned on your site. Mine was relatively clean for a thrift shop purchase. AC and battery power work OK. Volume potentiometer is noisy. Tape selector switch is missing/broken. Sounds OK for its size and age.

  2. I am looking to purchase a Panasonic Platinum rx 5090 for my grandmother, if anyone is selling one PLEASE get in touch McKinleyHyten at yahoo.com

    Thank you

  3. I recently found a Sanyo Robo 1 boombox and am trying to determine value. I haven’t been able to locate any sold listings to compare.

    Anyone have a source that may be able to assist in determining value on this one?

  4. I am looking for the value of a sanyo m9935K boombox. It is in working condition, and cosmetically great with the exception of it missing the back cover plates for the batteries and the power cord compartments. It is dusty from being stored but I will be cleaning it up. Otherwise looks and sounds untouched!

  5. I REALLY LOVE RX-ED90 AS A MUSIC DEVISES , I DO SELL TAPES IN NIGERIA ,PLEASE HOW CAN I GET AS MANY TO SELL IN MY COUNTRY NIGERIA.

  6. I have an old 1980’s AIWA stereo radio cassette recorder 950 that is in excellent condition. Unfortunately it has a technical problem. It no longer plays at load volume and on radio mode it plays for a time and then fades out to no sound. I am looking for someone to repair my boom box in the Toronto Canada area. Please send me a PM if you can help.

    1. I’m not familiar with that model. Is it similar to the Aiwa 770? Sometimes they are the same box but with different manufacturer badges.

  7. I have an MXC Crown CS 2525 in great shape with all disco lights working. Has replaced disco ball but looks and works great. Double cassette very rare. Do anyone know approximately values.

  8. I have a aiwa cs880. Everything works perfect on it and it’s in great shape. Bought it this weekend and looking to see if you have a true value on it??

    1. hat’s a hard boombox to find. One is active on eBay right now for $1150 but hasn’t sold yet. One sold in January for $150 but it was beat up and missing knobs, battery cover etc. I’d guess around a value of around $1000 if it’s in nice shape. But, that’s just a guess. Keep an eye on eBay and maybe one will come up for sale on auction. Then you can get a more definite price.

    1. One sold on eBay Australia for $70 plus shipping a couple months ago. It was in pretty good condition but not mint. So, I would guess $100 or so. Just my opinion.

  9. Selling dynasty 525 in good condition. Email me for pictures. Everything works except volume control may need some Work since it makes static noise when adjusted.

    Also have a lasonic 931. Good condición. Missing volume knob.

  10. I have a dynasty disco lite in working condition. One of the tape player doors needs to be serviced since it doesnt lock in place. When tunning for a radio station it makes loud static noise.

    Also have lasonic 931. Turns on. Missing volume knob and one of the cassette player doors is missing.

    Anyone interested? Make your offer!

  11. I just bought a vintage cougar boombox model j-8383-k. It is in good condition and everything works. What do you think it is worth?

  14. I have a Sanyo M9500K in nearly mint condition with original product tags still attached to it. It functions as it should. It would appear this item had never been sold to anyone. I’m curious if you have any idea what the value on this would be?

  15. I have an IMA Craig ST-900 Cassette recorder, 8track boombox i found at an estate sale. I have looked high and low online and have not found any information. Neither from this site. Its in great working condition. What is the value for this boombox? Is this rare then, bc cant find info…any information would be great!

  17. Hi, I’m trying to identify a small box I had bought in ’81 or ’82. I’m pretty sure it was a Sony and looked a lot like the one in the A-Ha music video for “Take on Me” It’s seen toward the end of the video where the girl goes home and is trying to straiten out the paper with the illustrations. It can be seen pretty clearly on her desk.

    I’d really like to try to find another one for a piece of my mis-spent youth but I can’t seem to nail down exactly what model it is.
    Thanks.

  18. I didn’t notice the Panasonic RX-5235 listed. Any suggestions for an asking price? Sounds great and is in very good condition just missing the 3 knows on top (tone/balance/volume) but l just adjust them with a popsicle stick

    1. I’ve seen a couple of sales. One at $145 and another at $130. Not sure how functional they were though.

  19. I have a Sanyo M-9811 boom box that pretty much just needs a cleaning but I can’t find any others for sale. Any idea what it might be worth? Sounds great and there is nothing missing, not even the cord / battery cover on the back or the antenna. Thank you.

  20. is anyone interested in Kenwood DC20 (El Poco) , with the suit case included? I might sell it for the right price. But I guess shipping would cost a fortune, it is the heaviest boombox I think in existence 🙂

  21. Anyone knows anything about Sharp GF-700ZD? I just got one, sounds nice but wanted to hear from anyone who has it for some longer time what they think about it, also price wise Im clueless it is not on this list.-

  22. MUCH Love & Props to the website..I’m a 35 yr. DJ/Soundman & Regional Promoter I like your true info and research on the units… would be nice IF you could list the Boomboxes poer output wattage… I look forward to possibly buying a unit here.
    Thanks
