This JCPenney boombox was made by Capetronic around July 1983. I found an advertisement for it in a newspaper from September 1983 for $119.95 on sale (regular $149.95)

I once thought the Montgomery Ward model GEN-3995A from 1981 was the latest boombox with an 8-track (but this JCPenney proves otherwise). I restored that one a few years ago: youtu.be/nrPOLHNV_qU?si=7TLUaxLWYUAQHSo-
