The CR-100 was popular in Germany. It was made in 1981 and has metal knobs and a beautiful lighted tuner.

Telefunken CR-100

The Telefunken CR100 is an excellent ghettoblaster, for the following reasons:

  • It has a beautiful, lighted tuner dial, with an acrylic plate that carries the light all the way across the dial.
  • Metal knobs and switches (even the tuner knob), and the metal is brushed for maximum grip.
  • Metal trim plate.
  • The toggle switches have an interesting shape. They are very thick and have finger indentations.
  • Dual antennas.
  • Aux input for your MP3 player
  • Good sound for its size. Warm and fuzzy bass (not tight), and a good amount of treble. Nice "stereo wide" function.

The LED meters indicate signal strength when you're using the tuner. But you can make them dance to the music by inserting a blank tape and pressing Record. In fact you can leave the Record key down forever. The cassette motor will not run unless you press both Rec and Play.

It measures 505 x 297 x 140 mm, and it weighs 6.3 KG (13.8 lbs) without batteries. It has 4 speakers (15cm woofers and 4cm tweeters). The Telefunken catalog says its output is 10 watts per channel "music power". But according to Google, its amplifier chips (two Telefunken TBA810AT) make only about 7 watts each. But that's still very healthy for a boombox of this size.
