Total Guitar

We spent the weekend at my in-laws.  Enough said?  Contrary to the "in-law" stereotype, I did not need liquid aid to make it through the weekend.  I'm lucky, I have to say my in-laws are pretty cool and they have a summer camp at Seneca Lake.

What is this bulky, old fashioned contraption?  Why it is one of my favorite pieces of equipment in my studio.  It is old school, baby.  When bigger was better.  Eight "D" batteries big.  This boombox was grandfathered in the studio when I arrived in 1995 and I couldn't imagine not having it around.  We're estimating that it is from the mid 1980's.
