Old Sony Reciever and Sony AM/FM. Used to have a tape deck. Died, ditched it. Used to have a 200 CD carousel. Kids filled that with hotwheels and all other manner of toys back in the day when it was the home stereo. That part died.
Big speakers, big sub. Surround sound speakers hooked up with regular front speakers to get the sound to the other end of the shop without having to kill the guy next to the big speakers.
State of the art stereo in 1991.

Now I just need to find a way to hook up a MP3 player
they got cords for like $10 that have a headphone jack on one side and 2 rca's on the other. just get one and plug it into an aux, cd, phono or any other input on it
exactly. any radio shack will have them.
i have an old aiwa radio. it's paint splattered and has a blown speaker but it works and if it were to break in the garage, i wouldn't care.
if i was going to get anything new i'd look at one of these milwaukees. i just saw them at HD and they're really nice. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/tools/cordless-tools/radios/jobsite-radio/2790-20

I have an 11 year old milwaukee job site radio in my garage and I hook my Droid Bionic to it and play Pandora One (no commercials) or my mp3's. It sounds pretty damn good for a small radio and it can take a beating.
a coworker had his radio going at work the other day, Kroq in socal. There was more BS running of some dj's mouth and commercials than there was music. The music was mostly what I like, but I can't stand all the other crap with it. I don't even have the antenna hooked up in my truck, I play my phone through the head unit. Hell, I don't even watch live tv anymore. If I didn't record it on tivo, I either don't watch it, or I hit record and watch it later without the adds.

I am going to be investing in a bluetooth receiver to plug into my current setup. no more cords

Added a 2nd set of speakers to my setup today. The Shark head unit has 4 outputs and only two were being used with the factory speakers. I took an old set of Sony speakers I had and put RCA style jacks on the ends of them. Once spring gets here and I can move stuff outside, I'm going to run wires and put a speaker in each corner. That should provide plenty of neighbor annoying dBs for hours on end!
My mom has one of those, Ryoken....
Almost as old as this....
Yikes!--I have the exact same Panasonic boom box in my bedroom!--bought it new back around 1990?....still works good,but I screwed up the headphone jack by yanking the cord out when I fell asleep with the head phones on one night--now it wont play out of both speakers unless the phone plug is inserted halfway...I was going to try taking it apart and replacing the jack,but I think its intergrated right onto the printed curcuit board,so I decided to just use it as-is..............................................................................................................................................................................................................In my garage,I brought a Sherwood RA-1140 reciever/amp I bought used at least 12 years ago out there,that I rarely ever used in the house,because I'd get yelled at to turn that effin thing off every time I tried listening to it!...my neighbors are morons who leave barking dogs tied up outside to bark incessantly,right next to my garage,so after 10 years of listening to that BS,I decided I needed something else to listen too.....................................................................................................I took the two huge subwoofer boxes I had in my van that are about 3' x 2' with dual 15" subwoofers in them and hauled them into the garage,and added two more Sony 4" reqtangular speakers and a pair of tin shelled rat shack motorcycle "tweeter speakers " to the receiver...I can use a clamshell CD player and my cassette stereo in the CD/auxillary jack to listen to CD's and tapes..................................................................................................The actual wattage I dont know,but I'd guess its at least 100 watts RMS per channel,and its a surround sound version too...--sounds more like 500 watts!---it'll thump bass strong enough to make things hanging on the wall fall off!--the quonset buzzes and rattles like a banshee --and the tweeters will really "screech" if you adjust the Pioneer graphic equalizer I added up on the higher notes,which drives the dogs insane!..bout time I got to drive THEM nuts for a change!.....I find AC-'DC's "Back In Black" really gets them howling!...

I have the same Technics receiver. I just move out my stereos from the house as they get old. When we swapped the DVD player for a Blu-Ray, I knew the old one played music and MP3 burned CD's so it got hooked up in the garage and a stack of music CD's sits next to it.
I have an old laptop with a set of jbl external speakers, networked to the house. I can play all my tunes, stream pandora, or put dvd's on. Also have a ipod dock set up to keep the phone charged.

Running a logitech pc system with sub and center channel for now in the garage just hook it up to the android cell and enjoying the trouble free music plus buddies can swap there cells in for a change. Used to run a full on garage pc but it was always needing to be cleaned or changed not to mention it seemed to like the pig pen lol
Sony surround that is missing a sub and the remote so it is no longer good for the house. Thats in the garage/weight room. Plug my phone into it with pandora. Works good. I need to get a sub for it though.
A 15 year old RCA cd/tape/fm stereo in the shop. Used to have big three speaker towers hooked up to it also. Figured I didn't need that much noise in my home shop. So I took them to work.
Bought a 500watt reciever for the spreakers. Took them to the shop and now we have lots of sound. Can have machines running, grinders, compressor. Still have tunes.
When I'm in the brush. Sirius in the truck or ear buds hooked to my phone when welding.

-Big
-Ugly
-Free
Like most of you, I'm using old hand-me down home stereo stuff. A Kenwood receiver so old it has Analog tuning, Pioneer 3-way floor speakers taller than my kids (up on the walls), some old Radio Shack EQ.
For a source I have the old weatherized tablet-type PC deal that I used to run in my truck. It has a Wifi card to stream mp3 from the server in the house or internet radio. It uses the RoadRunner front end user interface so the on-screen buttons are huge. I used to look stuff up on line with it occasionally while working on stuff, but I am currently with dial-up which ruins most of the fun.

Edit; It also plays mp3 and wma so I just burned up 5 discs with 6-8 cds a piece on them and hit random.
Scrolling by your post I thought those were some kind of steering wheel custom design fancy art work thingy.
