Can you believe people still put these in the dumpster !?

[caution]

I'm torn. It sucks that people will toss these out without hesitation, but then where would we find our diamonds in the rough??

 

[blu_fuz]

^ 100% truth

We need those people, just the cycle of boombox life.

 

[stereomad]

Man what a greedy fooker asking that much for something he got for nothing!
I would of bid him $300 max as it also needs work and parts

 

[caution]

Eric has a spare door and frame he is sending me.

Considering the fact that you were directly responsible for me acquiring a 920 a couple months ago, they had your name all over them!

 

[blu_fuz]

I'll give a clue on price. I did NOT pay him $500 hahaha

 

[Reli]

LOL @ "500-800"

Why even bother saying 800 when he's already revealed he'd take only 500.

Couple dings in the top trim.

That top trim is not too bad at all. I've seen some shockers! This is a good find Joe! Have you had one of these before?

 

[blu_fuz]

Never had one before. I think I heard BBbills at a meet a long time ago but couldn't remember what it sounded like.

And what do you think of the sound? Pleasant Sanyo sound but not a real thumper

 

[blu_fuz]

I haven't really had some time to sit down with it and run through the radio stations or line-in to listen to it. Has a shallow sound, not a bass machine, but has all the right curves in all the right places.

 

[Nickeccles]

Wow!

That's lovely!

Hope you get the deck going - they are built to last!!

It might be awhile until I get to dig in to this radio, but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Ghettoboom767]

Sanyo MX series,can't go wrong with the sound,hope the deck isn't to bad on this like some other Sanyos.
Scott had one I heard and they have a nice warm bass to them.😎📻

I wonder how many old BB's get dumped each year without ever being noticed, it seems criminal do do such a thing.

Ain't you guys got some kinda Dumpsters & BB's Ammendment Thingy going on somewhere on that ol' Hill, huh?

 

[blu_fuz]

It should be criminal!

I have thought so many times to go to the local 'electronics dump day' where the garbage company lets people drop off stuff for the electronic trash. I would probably be locked in jail after raiding an event like that hahahaha.


Thanks to Caution for sending me the spare cassette door. Much better than what mine is looking like.

In California, your not allowed to take anything from those electronic drop off places. I could't even bring myself to go. If I saw a C100 sitting there, it would be a bad day for the guy working there! :catfight: :ls-duel: :dog:

I have seen one of these, but never got to play with it. You say it's not a bass machine.....maybe an upgrade is in order

 

[blu_fuz]

If it has room, I would do a speaker upgrade. The cone looks shallow from the front view. I will keep that option open for sure.

The speakers in these Sanyos (M9994, M9998, 920) are the key to the bass they produce - loose cone style.

I love older Sanyos but if I could change 2 things about them, it would be:

1. Increased line in sensitivity
2. More amp power so that lovely bass could be maintained further up the volume scale!

The box looks really good, so maybe a full restoration and you have a stunning original. Or if it is past the tipping point, full custom, with upgraded amp, bluetooth and new speakers.

More fuel for the custom fire!
