First Boombox in Over a Year

petergriffin · Jun 30, 2009

So I was walking to my local grocery story. There's a value village right next to it. So I decide to take a look. I've never found anything there. Well, what do I see as soon as I hit the back of the store, a grey boombox with a square tweeter. I get closer, and lo and behold, it's a JVC RCM-60. At least I think it is. The sticker with the model number is gone. And the best part, 9.99cdn. yup, 9.99cdn :-)

Everything works but the cassette. Even both antenae are there :-)

sorry thought Ramon started this thread

monchito · Jun 30, 2009

why you like that one :yes:

petergriffin · Jun 30, 2009

yup Ira, it sounds really nice. Not as loud or bassy as the M70, but very nice clear sound.

redbenjoe · Jun 30, 2009

ok -but you need to remove it from your stove
:w00t:

monchito · Jun 30, 2009

most of those boxes sound very good we could never compare the like of its bigger bothers but they hold there own we well :yes:

i have an older jvc rc-828 which is a very loud box and not a real deep bass but good enough to really sound great :yes:

Very good pick up. I have one and it does have a sweet sound. :-D

Wow this is the ultimate in control, a whole year of searching and not buying anything. Heck most of us by some piece of crap every once in a while just remember what it feels like. :-D

petergriffin · Jun 30, 2009

Hey, at least I didn't have "doilies" underneath it :-D

It's really wasn't by choice MB. Wifey wouldn't let me. But she won't mind when I tell her it was just 10bucks

Well an M60 for $10 would be hard to argue with in my book but then again most of the female persuasion don't understand it even if someone paid us $10 to take it. That means your wife must be at least a little reasonable. :yes:
