Sony TC-388-4

Brand: Sony

The Sony TC-388-4 is a traditional cassette tape boombox, released by Sony in the 1980s. Its model number reflects that it's the fourth iteration of the TC-388 series, which suggests that it was an update or improvement on its predecessors in terms of features or performance. The boombox likely offered various functions, such as AM/FM radio tuning, cassette tape playback and recording, and possibly additional features like dubbing, bass and treble control, and a clock/alarm function. The standard design of a boombox during that time period would have included a carrying handle, a large speaker grill (often shaped like a waveform), and buttons and knobs on the front panel. The Sony TC-388-4 was likely a popular choice for people who enjoyed listening to the radio, recording tapes, or portable music in the 1980s.
