Jewel in the rough.

Got The 5350 today and am very happy with it.
This suka cranks and sounds imo every bit as good as an M-90.
Its gonna get the full treatment as usual so it wont be in one piece for much longer
figured id post a few pics beforehand.
Problems are
1.Function selector switch intermittent
2. Broken antenna (missing)
3. Filthy / dusty.
4. missing 2 toggle caps
5. three scuffed Knob surfaces.
Other than that its all

i think they sound not anything like an m90 --
cant even compare them

but they do sound huge and GHETTO
alot like your conion --

agree ???

Frank is that the one we had at the meet? It's pretty big I held one of them up in the pictures, It looks good and after you work your magic it will be like new again. I like it.

I can't wait to see the FRANK treatment done to it!!! All in all it looks pretty darn nice. I have a hard time seeing past the Conion..... isn't that one for sale?

Good luck Frank, I know you don't need it, based on your past restores

I've always been a fan of the "green glass" in boomboxes. I agree with Johnny - I can't wait to see how clean it will be after Frank is finished with it.

Beautiful AND classy boombox, Frank!!

Awesome Addition Frank-

I've always wondered about how good they sound

congrats!

:sin:

Nice add to your "small" but brutal collection!
Are you thinking about dropping one from your line up?

good luck with the resto.
Peace.

It looks great Frank! The 5350 is an easy box to take apart,so I'll bet you'll have that baby cleaned up and cherryed out in no time. Congrats!!!!!!

Frank, I know once it gets done by your special treatment it will be like new. And I think it's a pretty powerful enough sounding box that it CAN compare with an M-90.

We will have to pit it against Ira's M-90 at the next Mix
Hopefully he will bring one next year

ooops --i must have said it all wrong --

i meant that the 5350 does not compare to the m90 --
ONLY because their sounds are so completely different --

not saying the better/worse thing --

but am saying that the 5350 sounds ALOT like the c100f
that huge ghetto sound

right ??

A C100F will take down a M90 in all out loudness without distortion.

It will be great to follow the resto for this one, too.

Crap Ira didn't you start one of these arguments before about your box sounds better than my box?

Frank nice snag, I dig the 5350 for sound and looks. The 5350 is such a unique and cool box, it's worthy bro!!!!

I don't think I will be dropping any unless I get a nice offer for my hp-800

Prime , it was yours that made me want to get mine.
I was on a hunt since the meet.
Ira I was just comparing to the m-90 because it is the only one of it's kind that I've had that I feel can be compared to it.
I was just razzing you in my earlier post. I do although want to do a side by side comparison.
I will compare it to the conion first although I think I know what the results will be.

frank --i predict that your 5350/conion comparo will be very close --
let us know
