The Toshiba RT-8710S Stereo Radio/Cassette #Boombox (1979) had a trick up its sleeve: you could pop the handle off, unlatch the speakers, and turn it into a spatial home stereo system (that could even be used as a receiver for your turntable)! This versatility, however, led to some design sacrifices – as the Radiomuseum.org photo of the device's rear end in the third image below testifies, it was pretty nice to look at as long as you didn't spin it around.
