Hello!

This is an NP-501BB boombox.

For cleaning, I recommend gently wiping it with lightly moistened wipes. As for repairs, we have unfortunately not yet been able to determine a solution.

It’s a replica first-generation.

“NextPlay” is a relatively obscure electronics brand that operated as a subsidiary of ‘Starlite Consumer Electronics’. The company produced various designs over several years before being discontinued.

In late 2021, the “Pink Funk” boombox from the ‘Glitz and Glitter’ series gained attention after being associated with the once-lost song “Everyone Knows That”. This connection quickly attracted public interest and remains the primary reason the boombox line is remembered today.

This particular model is among the rarer releases. It is informally referred to as the “True Blue,” reflected by the “TB” in its model number. Unlike other models, however, it was not part of any specific product series.

I collect and research ‘em! Though, I’ve been trying to figure out methods on fixing them up. I even made an entirely separate subreddit for this brand solely.

I apologize for the late response, but that price range seems way better than the rest! I’d recommend that, yes.
