How to use this site:
The heart of this webiste is the wiki. We will list the known manufacturers. Each manufacturer that has more than 1 known model will have it's own wiki page, and those models are listed on that page. Each model shown that has a page will have a link. The path to get to a specific model page is generally as follows:
- Home -> Manufacturers -> Brand -> Model page.
- Home -> Search -> Search Result.
Features of this website are:
- Wiki pages for each Brand or manufacturers that sold models.
- Image gallery
- Articles for more artistic pages that have content beyond what is featured on a wiki page.
- A search feature to search within WikiBoombox.
- An internal PM (private message) system for registered users.
- Favorites and watch features for registered users.
- User customizable theme to change the look and feel of WikiBoombox.

Current Status:
- After several years in a holding status, we are now actively developing content for this website.

As we expect to eventually host thousands of pages, this developement could take a very long time, perhaps years depending upon the amount of available time to devote to this project by the owner, or the number and speed of volunteer contributors.
