Notes

For the sake of recognizing good continuity in regard to this boombox, take note that it is not present on top of the jukebox in the opening moments of the film.

It is not seen on top of the jukebox until after Ferris returns to his bedroom after he has been sitting outside (with the boombox visible behind the patio chair). 

A Toshiba RT-150S is also seen in the movies The Last Dragon and 8 Mile.
