Hello!

Hi there - I used to collect boomboxes until 10 years ago & suddenly stopped. Sold all my stuff.

Now I'm back - guess i can't live without (at least 5 of) my radio(s).

I'm looking forward in finding parts, suggestions and help for technical issues and of course some great pictures of the collections on this very website.

Welcome to the forum.

So do you have the all important 5 now and what are they?

Welcome to the family, Timecop1987! Start a topic in General Chat or Collections and post some pictures of your boomboxes. We love to see pictures!!

ATM I have a Sharp GF-767H, 777Z & 999 - the only 3 out of my collection that classify as "boomboxes". I'm still on the hunt for these: M70 (had one back then - gosh, they're beautiful!), Toshiba WX-1 (never owned one - kind of a personal grail) and a Sanyo Big Ben.

Will update pictures soon - but first i need a slider cap for my 767..she looks naked without it

Welcome!

Where on the planet are you?

Welcome to the forum, Timecop1987!



Can you tell us something of the collection you previously enjoyed?

Docs - i'm currently living in germany!

MyOhMy - my previous collection ranged from 30 to 40 boxes over the years. some examples:

Crown CSC-850 & SZ-5100

Sharp GF-6060,6161,9191,999

JVC RC M70, 550

Intersound/Promax j-747 (had 3 of em)

Aiwa TPR-series , Aiwa CS-series, Sony CFS-series

and so on..

I collected everything - now i'm only focusing on the boomboxes i really loved back then and those i never had. I don't want to hord them and be able to play everyone once in a while so i limited myself.

Im currently looking forward to purchase my first National RX-7200 - what a gorgeous boombox!

Welcome Timecop1987, and I agree, the RX-7200 is a stunning piece of vintage electronics from the golden era

Welcome aboard!

Welcome Timecop1987!

I'm new here as well. I still need to do a proper introduction. I've been a little busy.

Welcome Timecop

Welcome!
Since you're in Germany, try finding a Crown 980, it has more bass than the 850!
