Hello from Newcastle UK

Hello from Newcastle UK to all members of Boomboxery

after many years of listening to rubbish MP3's on smaller and smaller equipment I decided to get back into tapes I have always preferred Cassettes as they are nearly impossible to damage

I now have collected a good selection of quality cassette decks amps record decks and speakers over the last few years .Most have had to be repaired and giving a good clean and a deoxit .

My cassette collection is nearing 800+ and I thought I needed a Boombox for the summer months in the garden

​So I picked up a Grundig RR640 in good condition cheap but like most old cassettes needs new belts .. but just a few days later I came home with a Monster Hitachi TRK 6800E ... this baby rocks after a quick clean and Temporary belt change..

Have plans for Bluetooth and led lights
Think I have the bug

Welcome to this beautiful forum!

If you think Hitachi TRK 6800E is a monster please hold tight! You are yet to see so many Titans, Behemoths and Giants here!

Welcome mate and good on you for getting back to the warmth and comfort of analogue, it's nice here

Welcome fellow Northerner!...I’m just half an hour from you. I prefer them stock but have bluetoothed and lit them up too. Adding Bluetooth makes them even more useable, though it’s not always plain sailing doing it. And yeh if you think a 6800 is a monster wait until see a real big one like a 777 or a J1

Welcome to the site! 😎

Mulaz I'm halfway between you and Northerner, see you around 👍
