Yo,
Lately I've been on a real boombox roll! This unfortunately coincided with my university exam and new girlfriend
so I haven't been able to take super-quality outside pictures. I have some nice unpacking ones though 
.
So the roll started about two-three weeks ago when I bought/received a Toshiba bombeat 16 from fellow member Dits
. He had two he advertised on S2G and I've been after one for ages and jumped on it. It's a bit rough, deck not working, one cassette key missing, one knob missing and front not being fully attached to body/lack of screws that fit. But it sounds great and looks amazing still ! I overpaid a bit but it was still worth it once I find some screws that fit . A great seller with amazing packing ! And If I'm REALLY lucky I can seal the deal on a minty one I found elsewhere soon 
.
Here with the sibling Bombeat RT-9990SM
Next is a Goldstar TSR-800 from Ebay Germany. I spotted one a few weeks earlier that looked nice and I read up and decided that if it was cheap I'd take a chance. I lost out on that one, but then at the end of April another one came up! Just one pic and stating "fully working" I decided to take a chance for 121 EUR. Cleaned up nicely, It's a nice box. The controls are a bit flimsy and it's not super-heavy as it's size would suggest, but that's not a bad thing. Because it sounds massive
! Like super-loud. For rock music etc. it's almost my loudest. For hip hop it's still good and I'm very pleased with the sound. It doesn't look super-cool tho and I might use it as a party-box or trade it.
The delivery of that one coincided with a highly anticipated box: the Sharp GF-9696
.. Been after this one for AGES, still remember last christmas when I missed one on French bay for just 161 Eur..
. So this mine is from Germany again, like the perfect buy, many large, clear pictures, a video, great communication and a GREAT price ! Arrived very fast and well-packed. Only negative is the missing grills, but tbh I would never use them anyways 
. A bit smaller than anticipated, but the condition is amazing, no scratches or major marks and just overall 9/10 and fully working 
. It's very solid and heavy with amazing high-quality controls and switches ! I love it ! It's from 1980 I think, boy did they make good stuff back then. Compared to my newer Panamax giant black box it's like 7 times better in all ways.
In addition to this I found ANOTHER one of my 4-most (now 2) wanted on Ebay ! The Aiwa 770A with blue grillz in Italy. The seller was however very difficult to deal with, he didn't really answer questions and after I expressed some worries about this after making an offer he went into caps-lock-italian-insults-mode and I decided to not stand by my BIN-offer and just leave it alone, because if something happened I know he would deny/not understand/be a real bitch about it. But hey, it's nice to still have two to be on the lookout for.
Peace
