Big PHILIPS = big TROUBLES?

[ViennaSound]

Ok, this story happened in spring, should be posted on s2go, then simply forgotten..

Anybody remembers the storys of the bad packed MEGAMAX discolite and the TEC jumbo?
The first one survived with less damages.
The poor TEC was very broken.... :annoyed:

So i decided to bid only on boomboxes at ebay, they are located near to me.
To get it myself.

So i can´t go wrong!

Or?

You can! :'-(

Bid on a nice big PHILIPS.
Offered with "no shipping"!
Location: Vienna
Perfect for me!

Bid and get!
Only 35euros!

Calling...
Yes, you can get it in the 2. district.
Jumping in the car and go for it.

Hello, i´m coming for the PHILIPS

Oh, i must go to the 4. floor.
I lent it to the workers in our house.
They asked me for it to play radio....

:annoyed: :'-(
Bad thoughts are coming up.
Will i get a dirty box full with color...

No , it´s not dirty.

Can i test it.

Ok, plugging in....

Hm, why only playing on the right side?
Was offered as fully working.

Yes, it was working before.

Uhg, the right speaker is plugged off.
Plugging in .... nothing!
Amp burned!

Normally i must get very angry.
Would you lent a boombox to any other people ,when you sell it over ebay?
Never!

But she was very sorry about it.
So she said:
I was silly. Please don´t give me a negative note.
So take the box for FREE !

Ok, deal!

And here it is:

It´s the biggest PHILIPS i´ve ever seen

Still great optical condition

Loaded with features

Hope i can fix this beauty

Reminds me my AUDIOTON MasterBlaster
Big impressive box, but only playing on one speaker....

No, i must bring it back to live

To let the full power play again

At the way home, i did some custom pics!
Coming soon....

 

[MONOLITHIC]

Man, that's a GREAT looking PHILIPS!

Please get that other speaker working - put it in the shop!

Congratulations!

 

[Old school Scott]

that thing is huge.
very nice piece.
Yes she was being too nice as to lend it to the workers.
After you sell it, it is no longer yours to lend.
I hope you can get it working again.

Cheers OSS

That's kind of an odd story but the outcome is pretty cool.
Seems really strange to sell something then loan it out after it's sold, simply because you risk damage and issues that weren't present when you sold it

Hope you can get her fixed up 100%.

Ok, to get not too much depressive, i stopped at the way home.
Station of subway nr. 3.
A lot of nice graffiti around.
Some are weak from the weather, but a nice background. :sin:
So enjoy them.....

So, who says graffiti must be ugly looking....
I think it´s a really nice background for boomboxing.

WOW! You should give the seller good marks for being honest and doing what she did. Definitely worth a positive. Plus it may be something simple to fix. Plus, always be aware, not everyone hears in stereo. (i.e. All they know is sound came out, not how it came out.)

Congrats!

 

[Superduper]

Wow! Someone Please sell me a 1/2 working boombox like that for Zero dollars. In fact, you can even lend it out first.

 

[MONOLITHIC]

Wow, that box is already dope, but next to the graffiti...

 

[eldorado]

i really enjoy it.

and maybe it wont be hard to fix the right side.

nice one !!!

congrats!!!!!!!!

And i would need someone like you near to me for helping.
Ok, i learned radiorepairer @ the PHILIPS service center, but this is 15years ago.

Wow, i don´t want to think back how many boomboxes we must throw into the wrecker to prevend pre-selling.... :'-(

 

[blu_fuz]

Is that a one piece box? That thing is huge! Nice grab.

 

[bill]

awesome pictures and cool tale.
i think the seller did the smartest thing they could have in this case.
