What you're seeing here is a bit of a tragedy: A vintage Lasonic TRC-931 (v2), vivisected to include a built-in DVD player and screen where once lived a tape deck. There were other TRC-931 on display in Lasonic's booth, some with audio minijack inputs, built-in MP3 players with SD slots; that sort of thing.
Taking a Dremel to these classics would be a full-on shame if it weren't for the fact that Lasonic still has a warehouse full of TRC-931. So many, in fact, that they are considering selling the classic boom box stock perhaps late this year.

Shame, I was looking for a vintage boom box for a custom mp3 player last year, I'm now well and truely beaten to the punch.
Hey, cool, it's the boom box from the new Madonna video! ... ... ... (Sometimes, I think I'm the only girl that reads this site.)
They release a real old school boom box with a small spot to plug in your mp3 player as well as a little cubby hole to hide it in the back and williamsburg trustafarians are going to make some electronic shop crazy rich.
