When I saw this I was bugging the hell out of Floyd to please please think about selling/trading it to me as I have been after one since 1991 when my wife and I were looking for a small stereo or big boombox for our apartment. My buddy Tony let me try out his brand spanking new JVC PC-X1000 overnight and we fell in love with it.
My wife and I went to American TV in Madison the next day to pick up a PC-X1000 of our own. But when we got there,they were sold out and didn't think that they would be getting anymore in stock,DAMN IT..........:annoyed:
So we settled for a new Sony CFD770A instead. It sounded nice,but it wasn't as nice sounding as the JVC.
So since then I've been wanting one and Floyd unselfishly set me up with his, what an Awesome guy!
So Thanks a million Floyd for selling me the JVC,it is a real prize to me for sure........
It's not technically a boombox since it doesn't take batteries and the handle is built in and not a fold up so carrying it can be a little awkward compared to a real boombox,but it is portable.
Floyd packed it up tight and it made it all the way from his house just fine,all 45 pounds of it!
When the FedEx driver was waddling when he came up the sidewalk this morning,I knew it had finally arrived:lol
It is minty and has the original papers,power cord and remote control.
I took it apart today and fixed the only thing wrong,a stuck disc selector button. It took 30 minutes to figure out how to disassemble it and 30 seconds to fix the problem,LOL!
Thanks again Floyd you ROCK !!!!!

Seriously I love it and I'm happy you got it, I'd grab one in a heartbeat if I found one but the M90 just got jumped by Godzilla in a Black Labrador suit.
Great Long-Lost find there Skippy!!
I'd like to hear that beast!
I have a JVC PC-X105 that is simply amazing!
This must really be something!
How does it compare to a DT-680??
Curious-Thanks to JVC Floyd for helping Skippy out there!

It sounds great for sure, I would say the PC-X1000 sounds more bassy than the DT-680 probably due to the fact it has a Subwoofer.
But the DT-680 sounds better than the 1000 if you turn off the Sub....
