I prefer to think about all the money I SAVE by NOT LOOKING at Craig's List.... it more than makes up for any deals I might miss. But good score there Joe... let me know if you even want to double your money on that deal.

No don't think of it that way!!!! This just shows we all have a chance to score a nice boombox away from ebay for bargain basement prices! We have to keep our heads up, search on, and support eachother!


Good point Spud! - Oh, I'll let you know if I want to only "double" my money on the M90 :-D

Happy for you Joe! :thumbsup:

I was late to see it yesterday morning and the guy texted me saying is already sold.....
I'm glad a member here got it!

I admit I would have never made that 6 hour drive to go and get it. The only option was him to ship it.

I would have if I could 100% know he wasn't going to sell it out from under me before I get there.


I'll take good care of it!

Nice one! You are the true seeker!

It is stressful when you find a deal like this worried that someone is going to come along and start a bidding war before you can grab it. Well done holmes.

You are totally right. The stress is not fun. It is nice to have good friends all over the world that are willing to help.



In less than 24 hours the JVC will be in my hands!

Great score Joe! :thumbsup: You deserve it after all the 5350 heartache. :yes:

Go!

That is correct! :yes: I wanted to say that! :yes:
That cap replacement alone will wear you off! I've done that many times. I don't know if I can do it anymore...

Thanks dudes! It was a long road with the 5350 and I just got to a point that I needed to hand it off. There is only so much I could do.


Finding this JVC M90 does sort of make up for it :lol: :rock: :breakdance: Actually, this M90 probably makes up for all the boomboxes that gave me troubles! :lol: :thumbsup: :clap: :w00t:

This happens only once in 10 years when something like an M90 shows up on craigslist. I missed it by a day. :yes:
Joe, you should have went and bought a lotto ticket also the same day. :-D
Lucky young man!

Here is the lasonic and jvc together.

Overall condition of the M90:
-tape deck clicks once when the power button is pushed
-capstan motor spins for a couple seconds then stops
-tape deck doesn't ff/rw/play and is very dirty inside
-knobs and chrome have some pitting in the chrome/finish
-1 antenna is a radioshack red tip

Its very dirty from being in his garage. Little bugs filled the screw holes with mud. Speakers are very dusty. Sticky residue on the back case. The case is in really good condition with no real scratches or gouges. The tweeter chrome trim is almost perfect as well as the top tuner window trim! This thing will be a solid 8 after its cleaned up.
