Hi Folks,

When my last little boombox died last year, I thought that was going to be it. Thirty years of service, but I couldn't get it working again.

Long story, but I now have two boomboxes incoming. RX-C45 (Im' hoping it's the one with multi-voltage selector as it's coming from the US) and TPR-950. Biting my nails in anticipation. They're going to need recapping and some repairs, but they've got to get here first.

*sigh* - that's life I suppose. The ancipi......... pation.

Anyway, I'm off to the pub to unwind after a hectic day at work, pacing up and down, waiting for the couriers to arrive.... maybe tomorrow....

Michelle.

Welcome aboard, Michelle! You have two nice boomboxes on the way. :cool: :yes: I have two of the RX-C45s myself. If you ever get a chance, buy yourself an RX-C20, which is a little brother to the C45.

Good luck with the upcoming repairs / restorations.

My rxc 45 has a voltage selector and mine is a USA version.
Welcome , the rxc 45 is a very nice and great sounding boombox.

Reli : Thank you :-)
Hisrudeness: Yes, I've paid the import duty from the US. I never saw the one from the UK.
Fatdog: I think I'll get used to these two first :-) I have limited space!
JVC Floyd: That's good to know. My hopes are high!

When you get the box the first thing you should do is turn to that voltage selector over to your voltage

Michelle welcome from me too. Good to see you here.
Hi Deech .... I very nearly didn't make it. The registration confirmation questions had me scratching my head. eventually I just fed the formulae into google and it told me the answer :-)

Hi Michelle and welcome. :-)

Congrats on scoring an RX-C45. It’s easily my favorite small 3 piece Boombox. The low volume bass is great on the C45.

They’re easy to work on too with a modern plug and play construction.

I’d be surprised if your example needs recapping - Panasonic tends to be most reliable and durable boxes out there.

Good luck,

James..... :-)

Thanks Metalhandbag... I like to spread myself around :-)


Thanks jimmyjimmy19702010 - I've noticed people recapping them due to their age, especially with the radio failing and the "big one" should be replaced, as people say, especially given its age. I thought I might as well get it done and then it should be good for decades to come.
