Video: What's wrong with the GPO Brooklyn Boombox?

I'm finally taking a good long look at the GPO Boombox. Is it really worth £250?

My modern-day boombox recommendation remains the Panasonic RX-D50

FAQ

Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today?

A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.

PFAQ (Predicted FAQ)

Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning?

A) A cheese sandwich indicates that this is a basic video with no frills (like a cheese sandwich is usually a basic sandwich).
