What a great story!
Chris I myself have met Samovar in Toronto and spent some time talking the boombox language and I can confirm he's one of the best gents you could meet. His ever sweeping boombox gaze found a beautiful Sony CFS-45 which he so kindly donated to me...asi if to say "If I can find them this easily, what's your excuse!" LOL
Once again, anyone who has the chance to meet Sal.....do so. It's time WELL spent! Next on my boombox bucket list ...Chris!
Great photostory lads..
Hi Brutus, YES, we spoke of the time you two met. Glad you posted. Yes, Sal is extremely knowledgeable on boomboxes (and most things). I thought I might have a few items he hadn't seen (at least in person) but he was well versed in just about everything.
It just boggles the mind, that a man on an island can find it all locally when I couldn't find shait in Los Angeles
Even though I have met many collectors, listened to many radio's, spending time with on this forum chatting, it would be hard to say I have met many others who know about more models, details and features. Certainly one of the TOP collectors. A real 1%'er.
