This ghettoblaster was used in the James Bond film The Living Daylights

Philips D8854

The Philips D8854 was used in the James Bond movie "The Living Daylights". It was portrayed as a weapon developed by the Q branch lab. There's a scene where Bond is talking to Q and suddenly they turn to watch a test of the weapon. A scientist is holding the boombox on his shoulder, playing some music ("Sacred Heart" by Chris Blackwell). He pushes a button, and a missile fires from the stereo at a human dummy target, which is destroyed by the resulting explosion. Q turns to Bond and says, "It's something we're making for the Americans. It's called a ghetto blaster!"

This model was made in Austria, and features a vertical CD player in front, a tuner and a horizontal cassette player on top, and line inputs. It also has detachable 3-way speakers. There isn't much bass, but it still sounds OK. Note, there is another version of this boombox called the D8554 which has an 8-inch "super woofer" instead of a CD player.
