Member "Zippy" bought this on Ebay from some scrub who refused to ship it to Germany.....So I intercepted it, polished it up a little, and will re-ship it to Zippy tomorrow. This bitch be heavy! Everything works, except that the tape counter belt is slipping. Also, is there supposed to be a meter light in the upper left corner?

Great song and even better CHROME!!
There is no bulb on the VUs, just the 1 on right side of tuner..

Oh wait, I was hoping this was the one he purchased a long time ago..
Thats the one that needs to be intercepted..

You better pack that beast in a thick MONSTER box with lots of soft padding to ensure it's safe arrival to Germany...Zippy is going to LOVE it :thumbsup:

Nice work, Reli! Zippy should be pretty pleased when he gets it.

That video has inspired me to shake out my C-100 today - but it'll have to wait - it's only 5:55 a.m. here.
I'm not above blasting out the neighbors, but I have to draw the line somewhere. :-D

Volume at 20 on a C-100 = Volume at 8 on anything else. :yes:

Ah damn.....gonna need a custom box made. USPS to Germany cannot exceed 108 inches combined length plus girth. I am thinking 36x21x15, or 36x22x14. But nobody sells anything like that.

Actually...the boxes i get are so strong...you can stand on them on the edges/corners when they are opened up and built...when they are EMPTY before you even tape them up...that's what you need they are mega strong :thumbsup:

i sent a box in a custom made plywood crate , all you need is padding inside but you can make the crate a bit bigger than the radio. you really only need 1/4 inch plywood and some 1x2 's . worked perfectly and the weight of the plywood was less than the weight of all the boxes and packing i would have needed and smaller too.
