Hello all,
I suspect I'm legally old that I wanted to read and talk old boomboxes.
I don't know why but all of the sudden I felt the itch to play some of my 80's and 90's tracks through a proper cassette player. It's a nostalgia thing. Knowing myself, I have to be careful not get too excited and not to turn into a hoarder. And knowing all the bunch of enablers lurking online, boomboxery shouldn't be an exception, it's a real dander.
A month ago, I started looking for an old boombox... I'd always had the thing about JVC. I miss my JVC RC-770 which I bought new in 1984. At the time, I dreamed about a Sharp 777 which I never bought. Recently, I bought a decent RC-656 with issues; it's at a repair shop for the second time. If I find a better one, I'll buy it.
I'm expecting a properly working PC-11 to arrive next week. Hopefully, I don't have to spend more money on it.
Hm! What else... I drove 300 km to pick a free PC-5 a couple of weeks ago. It works but needs some maintenance to be done under the hood.
I ordered 24 custom blank tapes to start with and bought an old Technics M63 deck mainly for recording.
I don't know what else I want! It will come to me.
And that's it! I'm not that experienced and don't feel having much to contribute but planning to stick around.
If anybody is bored, feel free to contact me or chime in.
Greetings to all again and keep the hobby alive!
