$12 GoodWill find

[THAFUZZ]

So, as a few longtime members here may know, My wife and I are Special Olympics Coaches and proud parents on two athletes. Last month, we were in the Portland Oregon area for the State level Track & Field events and staying at a loal hotel.While there, I met a hometown couple at the pool. They liked my Panasonic 5050 "Trucker Chick" box I was booming. The female said "I have one at home that's bigger you can have when we all return home. She said it didn't sell at a recent yardsale and was in the garage. Fastforward a few weeks, and a few unanswered calls, She finally answered and stated her Husband donated it to the local GoodWill 4 days ago and "Hope it's still there for you". I drove down to the store with the only description she gave me (Black, with side-by-side Double cassette). I found it and brought it home for only $12.99. Still almost free. It's complete and sounds pretty darn good. What'cha think?

that box was very expensive new , i had a friend who had one . it sounded good i was just never into the styling but it was not a cheap box by any means .

I figured I rescued it. It's a very nice box. I might sell it to another member here so it will be cared for and enjoyed. We'll see...

Nice. I wonder why Sony put the tweeters on the bottom like that. That model is much better than the one my mom has.

Free and no running around is best. But $12.99 for that sucker comes a close second.

FD those are actually the woofers of the beast. The 4 inch speakers there are the actual tweeters. I had the bigger badder brother CFD-775. That had double auto reverse, digital tuner, remote, and a cd player. I didn't know what I had and when the cd player died on me I chucked the center part and kept the speakers.

Great Price.....I bet that sucker hits hard with the Mega Bass feature! I had a modern JVC (forget the model number) that could really make some bass!

looks rugged! good find Fuzz. If they sound anything like the FH series, must be nice

Those aren't tweeters they're little woofers, they produce the thump. I know it seems odd that the big speakers don't produce the bass but overall these actually sound really good.

Congrats Adam that's a nice score even if you don't like that style box.
