II The boom-box to end all boom-boxes was unveiled last week in Capital Radio's dockland studios in London. The Outside Broadcast Promotional Vehicle is based on a
Tidd 10 metre semi-trailer and Leyland Cruiser combination.
The trailer is divided internally into three sections. At the front behind the first 'speaker' is a fully equipped studio which is capable of handling all types of outside broadcasting. Behind the other 'speaker' is an airconditioned hospitality area, fitted with leather seating, and a full bar. The 'cassette deck' opens to reveal the stage. From its inception last March, the rig took eleven months to complete. The final cost to Capital Radio? A cool £200,000. By the way, it is available for hire — £1,000 for 3 hours broadcasting.
