My new fascination for Boomboxes - any help appreciated!

[Cyriac]

Found one...



It's beaten, it's dirty... But it's mine! Makes it awesome, right? Lol

My Barcelona trip didn't turn out as unproductive as I thought.

It's going to need fixing though, there's a bad contact in the volume knob that makes it not work very well.

The body is well damaged, scuffs, broken bits, caved in and rusted grilles. I think it's been in an indoor smoking environment so it's yellow brown rather than gold...

Essentially it's perfect for taking out in the Jeep, I won't be afraid to take it out or risk damaging it...

Maybe I've been ripped off at 100€, but hey... Gotta start somewhere! Right?

Maybe I'll start a new thread!

Wow! You found what you were looking for pretty quickly.
Here's my TiSonic PR-7000 to add to your chart. Gold/Red,120v.

 

[Northerner]

Well done! Get it cleaned and serviced and you're good to go!

Here's another for the AKA chart.
This one looks gold with blue trim and some chrome. I havn't seen this color combo before. It's for sale in Ohio,USA

Lots of aka’s for this one. Not heard one yet though

 

[JVC Floyd]

The most common aka of that box is the techsonic mx 900.

 

[JVC Floyd]

Beware the MX 900 has far inferior electronics than the trident. Hardly nothing inside but one big board two tape decks and the speakers. For $100 for a Decent working MX 900 ain't bad though.

 

[caution]

There is also a Nippon CX-473F version of this one.

A generic stereo for sure with varying build quality between the brands! Often generics are very good & well made & I must say I like this machine a lot!! Germany is a gold mine for these sort of machines as are many european sellers! - The Ahasi generic I got last week - just what I like to buy & just save them 😊 I hope you find a good one buddy, they are out there......trust us! 😁 It still happens to us, finding a machine that takes us back to happy times! It can grow addictive very quickly be warned! 😊
