The Sensor RT-1246 has big 8-inch woofers, VU meters, and chrome knobs make a good impression. Its dimensions are 595mm wide, 357mm tall with the handle down (415mm with the handle up), and 160mm deep. The weight is 15.8 lbs (7.2kg) without batteries. It sounds nice and bassy, but not as precise as a JVC, Sanyo or Panasonic. To me, it sounds similar to a Rising 20/20 or a Lasonic 931.
The photo below shows all 3 versions of the RT-1246. One is all silver, the other is half silver half gray, and the last one is the rare RT-1246E model with a graphic EQ and LED meters instead of needle meters. This one is really cool because it has one meter for input levels and another for output levels.
There were several other versions with different brand names, including the <a class="wiki" href="Helix HX-4631" rel="">Helix HX-4631</a> and the Great GCR-8560. If you need replacement antennas, the ones from the JVC M90 and the Helix Wheely will fit. Or you can buy the FS-12H antenna from Russell Industries, it fits.
There are a few common problems with this boombox. I've owned 4 of them, and they all had frozen VU meters that didn't move at all. Secondly, the tape door is often bent/crooked because the previous owner tried to pull it open after the tape jammed. And finally, the tuner sometimes goes bad, losing its ability to stay locked on a station.
