BOOM BOOM SHAKE THA ROOM


CONION C-100F (CONION C-100FL; CLAIRTONE 7980; HELIX HX-4635)

What's the definition of "ghettoblaster?" Many people will argue that the Conion C-100F (also released under the Clairtone and Helix brands) is the quintessential boombox. It's loud, flashy and reached legendary status on city streets in the '80s. The obscure brand may not be recognizable but chances are you've seen the C100-F--it has made cameo appearances in countless movies, commercials and music videos over the last 20 years. Rumor has it that the Conion is a standard issue prop for any film or video that involves breakdancing.
