That in itself is an amazing feat! it must have been the good lovin' I gave her. :w00t:

Anyway, it's a Hitachi TRK-W550H. Does anybody know anything this model? I found a link to a picture on ShizAudio:

She said it's kind of heavy. Takes 10 D cells. Not nearly as heavy as Freddie's JVC PC-55.

The real kicker... she paid $4.50 for it at a local thrift store. :thumbsup:

I can't wait to see it!!

Johnny · May 8, 2009

Looks nice, a great find on your wifes part!!!

Dunno about the good lovin, but nice of her to get it for ya!

:-D

Top stuff Bobby! I always find it all the more encouraging when loved ones start giving you the things you collect.
It's like a wonderful empowering statement that you aren't stopping any time soon and a resignation from the ones who keep on saying 'you have enough'.

Rock On.

JVC Floyd · May 8, 2009

oh thats i nice one ,i had my eyes on one of those for a while ,just to broke to get it .

Fatdog · May 8, 2009

It's in better condition than she made it sound. Both eject buttons do need some work though. Haven't tested the decks yet. The only "major" thing is the antenna is missing.

Pics tomorrow! :-)

Incredible fatdog, very few of the ladies really understand boomboxes and seems even fewer want them around. You lucky dog! :clap:

The hitachi looks great, I've never seen that model before. :thumbsup:

oldskool69 · May 9, 2009

I have to give my wife credit as well. :angelic:

She tells her friends and looks around at thrifties and yard sales etc. to help me out. And after meeting some of the group, she thinks it's super cool.

ahardb0dy · May 9, 2009

wow, 2 things Linda probably wouldn't do for me, buy me a boombox and go to a thrift store by herself, you should feel lucky

vladi123456 · May 9, 2009

It looks hot - where are the pics??? :w00t:

ahardb0dy · May 9, 2009

have to wait until tomorrow for pics Bobby said

These units have a checkered past as they were used very frequently by Pakistani cab drivers in various cities.
