"The Searchers" - Vienna flea hunting

Theme of this thread:
The flea hunters – together we are strong!
Here i will post all fleatrips i did together with friends.....

Yesterday i planned together with collector Daniel a big flea trip.
We hit 4 big outdoor fleas

flea panorama:


searching....


Scores of the first 2 fleas
Body of a PHILIPS supercompo (partspender)
GRUNDIG partycenter body
speakers of a PANASONIC
little PHILIPS and a tandem
damaged SILVA (partspender)
also parts for my cycle and 2 funny flipclocks






starting to the next fleas....

the hunt goes on....


Daniel found a pretty crazy SCHNEIDER 4piecer
Cheapy,but loaded with features


and a spatial stereo for me


YEAAAAH, a nice HITACHI :sin:


loading everything in his station wagon, additional 4 boxes we traded


space is getting less..


driving to my garden for photo shooting....

arrived in the garden.
Here all boxes we got / moved around this sunday



wohoo, soooo many boxes....


Guess what is my favourite


How will they sound all together?


Alone i would have never taken them all (how to carry?)


a few detail shoots:






finally checking them all at the power connection:

Great finds. Funny - I was searching yesterday for the same clock . Missed one for 2 min (another guy bought it) . Next weekend....
And how you two was carrying so many boxes . Nice day you have there

wow roman send me that kaboom thingy you have done good :monchito:

Fantastic Roman
What a bunch of boomboxes for only one day

In the next sunday I'll fly to Vienna to visit those fleas
Here lately I can not find anything

Oh yeah

When I read the title, I already thought you had found a Sharp "Searcher" model and was already like "I gotta go to vienna again" .
Fleamarkets here only throw off overpriced junk lately - and I though spring was the flea season .

You seem to have done really well with your finds! Congrats!

Super Flea heroes :super: :super: :super:

that set of panny platinums

hook them up to ANYTHING !!!
they sound tremendous

please report back here about your results

I agree with :monchito: that Kaboom wanna be is interesting. Hey i'm feeling that t-shirt your friend is wearing!!!

That would be great to hit some fleas with another boombox buddy. I think we would probably have to fight over some :ls-duel: :freddy: :jason: :scream: :catfight: :judge:

WOW! It's lik search overload in a good way!

This one was for daniel.

I also used to have that strange SILVA kaboom fake.
Think it is one of the best fakes
Called "Sports" with locks for tape and CD, strap, 4 speakers, bass expander,....

It got lost after a party, here i used it with the big PHILIPS amp :

Roman you are the search master.

That Spatial is very nice, a great find

The searchers have been on tour again today.
Together with friend stefan, who visited me (comes from Nürnberg/Germany).
But the times on flea are getting worse.
Not a single boombox we got...

okok, we have seen some interesting ones.
Like a big FISHER, a ELIN mini&slim, some PHILIPS,...
But we passed on them, because we still have them
And spare place is less.

Daniel got a "boombox" for his party room


not good for walking around


but we still traded a few boxes


He got the boomcycle, the red party center, the crazy SEIKO and the PHILIPS "gullwing"


I got a red roller2 and the big PHILIPS amp
Also my only highscore from flea:
This long wanted triangle movingsound walky!!!


No really big scores, but big fun
...in big heat - ~35°C and more today

the red roller is

That wedge-shaped walkman reminds me of a pizza slice.

nice walkman to complete the collection

Great job. I was hiding the whole day from those temperatures . You are heroes .

The Searchers on tour again!
This time with my best friend Patrik.
He got some spare parts for his computer and other electronic stuff.
And i got some boxes.
But where to store... ?

Arriving at flea.
Today great weather, so the flea veeeery big



First score: this SWING POWER-MASTER
Needs some work


My highscore of today: this lovely cheapy HAPPYTONE


Pat found for me this big SILVA SuperSound (my 2nd one)


also this AUDIOTON-SUPERSONIC came in
not really good condition, see what to do with it...


and i got for our company a cheap cycle (need it for short trips next the track)


Had a lot of fun today


Then we went to the danube island and continued with some

You can make a museum whit all kind of boomers designs . And a beer in Donauinsel sounds like perfect end of a hunting day
