Can you tell a non native english speaker what a "ten-year old boom-box" is?
Sure. Ever seen those humongous "portable" AM/FM/Tape/CD/Lord-Knows-What
combination devices? The things that are big enough that they wouldn't be
out of place as a (cheap) home stereo system?
Those are boom-boxes. Also known as ghetto blasters.
