Matt Mahoney hooked us up with some pictures of a relic he owns, possibly the ultimate achievement in wackyboards. It’s either the Nash Jamm Sound Board or the Radio Active, depending on whether you believe the top or the bottom of the deck. In Matt’s own words “It’s perfect for listening to static while skating around town…” I remember seeing adds for this thing before, I can’t imagine they made more than one model. It’s too bad the Nash factory burned down, I’ll bet there was some cool stuff in storage.
UPDATE: Check out a sell sheet for the Jam’in Sound Board from a 1988 Nash Catalog.

I’m confused (often), is it a radio? What I want is something to amplify the sounds of my grinding, boardsliding, and occasional tail smack…

Grind harder.

I think there are little red dials on the side that you can adjust the volume/tuner. They should have made it more like a walkman so you could at least put tapes in there. Oh ya, and a mic input so you can sing along too.

cool! you can put it on talkback and stand on the speaker. It doesn’t look as tough as the graphic implies.
