Does anybody know this guys? I stumbled upon this video on you tube, it's some guy with a store and boomboxes for sale. I'm not sure how old this video is either????

Haha! I forgot how AWESOME their videos are!

I do believe he's posted here or on s2go.

Not sure how many are for sale or have been sold, but pretty sure some guys have visited the place.



Rcok On.

You'd think the guy could put out the butt just for a couple of minutes while he makes the video! Adds a nice sleeze factor, tho.

Love the way he puts up the "not broken" antennas (Radio Shack red tip replacements), and the one on the right isn't tight enough to stand up on its own (probably missing a washer), so Mr. Inconspicuous tries to hide the fact that it won't stay up by laying it back down with a little slight-of-hand. Sorry, Houdini, but my eyes are quicker than your hand.

I think its safe to assume all of his stuff is circa 1980's and original.
Folks.

Looks like you can get the smoke yellow accent to the case color and speakers! The Marlboro optional smell is included too I'm sure!

And the "vintage" 1989 JVC-PC55 to go with the "vintage" kitchen sinks!!!

Hey!! Vladi!!! There's the WF-939!!! Hurry!!!!

You guys kill me!

The very first radio he is showing, the one with 4 tweeters, was indeed powered by 12 D cells? WOW! Just amazing! I'd never seen that model before.

So no one has bought from him before?

I remember someone picking up something very similar to that model a while back in the wild, but it had a strap on it too.
Might have been different or an AK though.

And I'm not sure it's just tobacco he's smoking with the 12 D cells line... along with the all original antennas.

Unless theres some other compartment with more... which I'd doubt.

I hate being pernickety about things like this, but this is how myths are propagated in our hobby.

Definitely a HOT radio though!

I love this guys delivery, it's pure salesman. He really is a champion, I'd love to go to this store and hang out and see how he handles his customers.
It'd be a true retail spectacle!!



Rock On.

Thanks for Clarifying this...In the mess of the smoke and the fact that the camera went by so fast, it did LOOK like it showed 12!

He is one hell of a salesman.,...you'd think he was from New Jersey!

"Yo, I know what you need...you need dis, circa, 1982 Devo record in original packaging...or dis....Johnny Cash LIVE...or dis....hang on I need a cigarette...JOEY, get your ass over here wit da smokes!....Now as I was sayin'.....you need dis!"

...and don't forget that they all pump and / or pound!!!!

I wish I would have remembered about this guy... I was just up in Ontario and would have made a trip there to see what he's got... Oh well, maybe next time.

I bet this guys store would be a kick to check out. I love seeing vintage stuff like this. To bad I'm so far away! If anyone ever gets in there, please post!
