Bought this RX-FS470 about 25+ years ago and forgot about it buried under my bed all dusty from the years unnoticed. Today I dug it out and cleaned it off and it powered on just like new and played with excellent fidelity. I was so surprised and amazed how clean and natural sounding this unit put out. The 3 band equalizer and bass boost feature is what makes it able to produce such good fidelity. I am so glad I bought this boombox way back years ago and rediscovered it today. It sounds better than many other modern and current am/fm boom boxes out today in 2019! Wow so happy with it. I don't remember exactly what year I purchased this radio and i don't know how much I paid for it when it was new. So I can't answer those questions. But I think I bought it in the late 1980's or early 1990's time frame. Great today as it was back then! Weakness:
I don't have anything to say about any weaknesses other than it is a vintage unit so it does not have the modern capabilities to play CD's or SD Cards or Bluetooth connectivity or USB sticks. It is what it is AM/FM Stereo and Cassette tape player/recorder. It does those tasks well. Purchased: New

Strength:
Puts out good sound
Weakness:
no digital radio tuner, nor does it pick up any signals besides AM/FM
It has been really handy to have because it has RCA inputs for recording. I can record anything that is in any audio format from my laptop. I just run it through a headphone to RCA cord (from Radioshack - $5), and play it out the speakers, or record it on cassette. No worrying about RIAA lawsuits. It just works, simply, every time.
Customer Service t has been dropped, banged around on construction jobs, dented, hit, etc. It has never had a problem.
Similar Products Used: Sometime after making this boombox, all manufacturers unanimously ceased including RCA inputs, hence no other 'products' have been of any use for me.
