All Sony FH discussion

[ScareDe2]

So many sony fh models, which ones to get which ones to ignore?

1. Buy the one with fabric with rubber coated woofer surrounds and single cassette decks. Double cassette decks are a pain to work on.
2. Don't get burnt with the APM speakers with foam surrounds.

This is all from my experience.

 

[Superduper]

They ALL sound phenomenal, but the decks are all very difficult to repair. The original FH-3 to FH-7 are battery capable (the 7 will need the optional rare as hens teeth battery/amp adapter for this) The higher numbered ones are typically AC only and has lots more plastic than the very heavy original ones, but sound great and has very hard hitting bass. Finding a 100% operational one might be a bit tough, but failure is generally in the deck area so if you don't care about the decks, then these are some of the best sounding, best value boomboxes around. I have never personally seen any FH series with rotted foam surrounds.

Get one with the tweeters that point outwards. They look pimp.

The FH7 is a great machine...this one is going cheap as I just don't do 3 piecers Trade or cash, will sell cheap to a member who will appreciate it more than me

 

[MyOhMy]

I managed to pick up a very hefty FH-7 locally a few days ago from the original purchaser, a bargain at £10.50. (Handle spring and 2 x rubber feet req'd)
