It was a " Wog Box" rather than "boombox" became the common term in the United Kingdom ( especially among the black community in London).

Wog is considered a VERY derogatory word for European immigrants here. It was common in the 1950s and 1960s, but rarely heard now. I�ve never heard wog box.
Tape deck / tape recorder refers to the very old players that had reels of magnetic tape - before cassettes.
I �d call it a CD player.
In shops they are called: Portable CD/Radio/Stereo/Cassette
(depending on the features they have)
