JVC with Star Wars details, which also L.L. Cool J showed-off in a famous photo. Phenomenal radio reception, cassette playback & recording!
The RC-838 was introduced in 1978, and it's a very heavy, well-built machine. The tape deck is very stable, with a wow and flutter rating of only 0.07% WRMS. The PLL tuner (Phase-Locked Loop) provides great reception. And the VU meters are big, bold, and much more accurate than the ones on most other boomboxes. Many collectors install LED's on those meters to illuminate them. This model also has a unique spatial stereo feature called BiPhonic. There is also an "Expand" mode, which is similar to the "Wide Stereo" mode found on many other boomboxes.
It is fully functional, the cassette deck and radio works flawlessly. 8.5/10 visually.
