Ghettoblaster Portable
Q: i have an old ghettoblaster boombox and it uses an AC power cord for power. I want to be able to carry it around and use it outside so i want to be able to have a portable powersource like batteries( C, D, or A type batteries). Is it possible to get some
A: Yes, you can buy what is called a portable power pack. You charge it at home and then it can provide AC power.
Here is one example from Duracell

Remember the ghetto blaster? The street-savvy, over-your-shoulder, does-it-all tape deck that could pump out tunes wherever you wanted and was the darling of students.
It's back; Sony's latest makes a similar stab at streetwise with its RDH-SK8iP, but despite its iPod prowess it can't quite match the 'blaster in some key areas. There's no batteries and no handle to carry the SK8, and nothing ground-breaking about its design; two 30W speakers dominate the product either side of a small iPod dock, although there's something strange and very colourful going on in between.
The SK8 introduces the idea of customisation. At its most basic this approach entails two cardboard fascias sporting reversible - and very colourful - designs that can be swapped at will. To fit them, simply twist the two speaker cones anti-clockwise and a transparent plastic shield flops off.
There's a total of four designs in the box, though their graffiti-esque style is perhaps a little over-designed and hopeful; can a major global conglomerate really second-guess a teenager's individuality?
