I've seen pictures of the red PC 55. I think it's a Japan only model.
I thought only the silver and black models existed until I saw the white Victor model. I've never seen the red version though. It must be rarer than a unicorn!

well the fh7 is in it's basically fubar but i knew that, radio works though, all i can say is i am blown away by it, i always used to state these were mickey mouse but if anyone remembers techmoans video i am in agreement with him forget m90s and the like, i know these are not really portable though and i wouldn't want it to be as i can barely lift mine.....i thought they were mickey mouse because they have no loudness and a frequency response of only 100 hz but they sound way better than that.......i am so lucky to have a red one,,,wanted one for years i am impressed.........i don't know how loud it is on mains though as i don't do loud volume anymore lads.....i do know it has 2 stk amps though not one........never seen that in a boombox before lads i have had some bigger fh but they didn't sound as good as this

I usually give the boxes a Grace period before I start bragging and as usual they ****ing crash and burn before I can say anything decent about them .
Sound advice Floyd. After a purchase I generally leave it plugged in for some time and slowly test each function so I can make a list of faults. Some iron themselves out from sitting so long. others are case opening projects

well it died about 10 mins ago no more crappy boxes for me lads..........this illustrates why boxes are not worth thousands lads
I'm too cheap to even buy new belts for mine much less spend thousands I just don't have money for boomboxes it's that simple I can't afford to get it stabbed in the back for hundreds of dollars just so the mother f***** can let you down like they always do.

Don't be like me I've got the trash can ready before the Boombox is lol.
Sometimes it's almost more work smashing these m************ than it is just to fix them.

Man don't buy anymore boomboxes.
If you save enough money you can buy one that's been serviced by a professional for all the money you might as well have something decent that works. Better off with only one working box than a house full of wasted money and hope. I know how it is I spent money on what I wanted instead of what I needed . now it bites me in the ass because I need the money more than I need boomboxes . I have a lot of large boomboxes that are easy to re fit to still be a boombox and be useful built with more reliable components if they ever die they can be useful just for the outer shell . my custom boxes are on another level sound wise.

I will say my best working and most reliable boomboxes came from Boomboxery members . I still use my sanyo c7 I got from Skippy almost every day for the last 7 years. Plus the gf 535 I got from justcruisin almost 8 years ago . when these come from true friends you know what you're getting.

i had already finished buying boxes lad only reason i bought the fh7 cuz it was red and i know we don't use the word rare but in red the fh7 is very rare wanted one for about 10 years and what made the deal was it was free shipping.............the crazy thing is i still have to pay 70 tax on flipping broken junk...................i am cursed always have been my whole life lad........anybody else could have bought it and it would have lasted years bro
