Hi People!!

Well I am a very happy bunny today

After bagging a stereo I have been waiting an eternity for..........


Now I know only too well that these can have their faults so after rejecting many of these over the years, I couldn't believe my eyes when this came up on Ebay

Some of you must have seen it too I guess & I was wary despite being told 'It's Perfect Mate' apart from a few very small blemishes on the top of the left speaker........

Anyway, it arrived today safely packed up in bubble wrap & a big box full of padding!!

Decided to clean up what was already a pretty clean machine & after that, a very deep head block & roller clean (Yuk)

Was filthy & took an hour of cotton bud & alcohol to return the head to silver & the pinch roller to complete black!!

Azimuth spot on but motor speed on play very slow

20 mins later motor speed corrected & lovely sound came from the speakers

VERY clean inside, like new in fact & Doh! I forgot to snap a few shots while open

Was a two person job anyway, big tits held the machine upright & operated the tape deck while I did the speed trimmer - really easy!!

Anyway enough waffle (I do love doing these write up's) Sad am I not?

Wow, that's way too long to have to wait for a box, congratulations on finally putting an end to the wait!
You're going to have to take it apart again unfortunately, the tape speed is too fast.
Look of Love is about 3:26 and it only took your box 3:10 to play it :-/

That's a long time to wait, but so much more rewarding when the day finally comes. Congrats to you, that looks like a good score.

Happy for you!

I know the feeling!

This is why the boombox collection hobby is so exciting!

Way back in 1960s when I was a little boy I open up cereal boxes to get Aluminum cast small planes, cars and all. I lived with my parents in Qatar (Khattar). So when I get aluminum die cast plane the happiness was unbelievable.

I have the same excitement when a new boombox arrive at the door. Fear of wife kills part of that happiness, but still I enjoy it very much!

Beautiful, just beautiful and it's what you deserve after such enduring patience. This model is of a style I would call almost timeless and would grace any contemporary room. Yes, you can detect a little envy!
