Warning Disclaimer**** I do not recommended opening up your unit and or performing any mods or repairs as you will void any warranty. With all the input sources you can think of, and a fun design that’ll make it a talking point wherever it goes, all that’s lacking is a bit of bass oomph and mid-range clarity.I'm glad to see they kept an analogue tuner scale for the FM radio, this not only keeps the look right but gives great flexibility as not everyone is enamored with dab and its associated low bit rates, it sounds good but i personally think fm sounds better with more detail.

I guess this is because todays electronics utilize more surface mount components and can fit allot more into single chip. A fresh and innovative addition to the retail market, ProTelX (creators of the original GPO brand) was established in September 2009 with the aim of designing, developing and manufacturing high quality consumer retro products. I have a silver one that the usb/mp3 player is acting up, so I will have to open it up and check it out.You can play tunes back from a Bluetooth connection, AUX in, DAB radio, FM radio, CD, cassette, USB and RCA AUX In. If you’re not familiar with the classic boombox look, the Brooklyn measures a sizeable 60 x 14 x 30cm, with front firing 40 watt stereo speakers and a carry handle that almost runs its entire length along the top edge. Packed full of audio options both classic and modern, it bridges the gap well between old-skool charm and modern audio necessities. auxiliary jacks seem to have been the norm on most mid to high-end models back when this style of portable music players was mainstream according to what I read online Its brand is GPO and the model GPO Brooklyn according to the label on the back of the unit.

When the unit is on standby, a 24 hour LED clock will be displayed for 10 seconds if you press the menu button on the front of the unit. Make sure magnetic tape is would tightly on the spools inside the cassette before inserting it into the GPO Brooklyn.Perhaps some old school fake screw detailing on the rings would add a touch of the 70’s/80’s to it for sure.
