Hello and welcome to the forum!

I have very similar interests to you, I also have wayyyyy to many games consoles and other retro tech, but I love it!

Cool Renault 5 by the way, don't see many now. I have a 2003 VW Lupo GTI that I'm keeping forever!

Nice car the R5, always liked em. Might be worth returning it to stock now as prices rise....

On the box subject, for big black boxes look at maybe A Promax Super Jumbo J1 as they are reasonably common in Europe, a Lasonic TRC931 are also good but dont travel well and havecussues always. For a nice silver box maybe a Crown csc850 or a Jvc m70, both easy to find and sound great.

That's fantastic, thank you very much, I will check those out, I have about half the money saved so far, so I need to sell a few more bits and pieces to get the rest

Watch this space :yes:


Tried to search for the promax, cant find any even in completed listings lol, even under the tecsonic heading lol

Love the J1...it’s the quintessential big and flashy boomer. Sound great too. Some of the big black boxes sound a bit crappy but the J1 is awesome. Love that bling

Ah now that’s the hard bit! All the ones Tre mentioned are great boxes, so they’re in demand, just need to keep checking the usual places and keep your fingers crossed.

I’ve got all four of those mentioned so they can be found. In fact I’ve got two M70’s (nope the spares not for sale), and four 850’s but I’ve got a lot of work to do on the three extra ones before they’re saleable and I’m too busy to do them at the moment sadly
