Looks bloody lovely...I'm a real sucker for blingy flashing lights so love this
I'll tell ya, when I got into searching for boxes, I was looking for ONE thing...Silver One Piece boxes! I was living with blinders on. Then I got the 935 and 975 and my "Design Eye" changed. Then I started seeing the beauty beyond.
Black and Chrome elegance like a Tuxedo. Crazy Bling like this Discolite. And most recently after ready threads for years by members like Freddy and Hans and Norm talking about feature packed, logic decked high end boomboxes that are closer to mobile recording studios, my mind has finally opened up to the amazing world of 3 piece master pieces. I haven't really collected any YET, but I see them as if for the first time.

Man that box cleaned up nice. And man you work fast, Chris! One day in your hands and it is close to show ready. I have several, several boxes I need to take apart and give them a good cleaning and fixing.......and I've had them for a while now. Good work.
Yeah, I'm still riding the adrenaline high of the purchase. But I am usually like that. I get a box and power through it. I want to show it off. I also want to know what I have and if it's all working. I can't sleep until it's finished!
No better time than now to dig into a box and get that "To Do List" whittled down!

chris - not sure- but i dont think there are any pots or controls for the blinking rate --
i have however --rigged its line-in to another box --and the volume control from the other box works perfectly
to control both the intensity and frequency of the center lights and the perimeter lights
That is interesting! So it is controlled by whatever the volume going into it is. I have noticed, when the radio is on. EVERYTHING IS MAXED OUT. The signal is so strong that the LED Meters are not metering, they are just lit (like me most of the time). I haven't really tested the lights against the input power of the cassette deck, but the line in can be adjusted like you mentioned.

Top quality work, man! And so soon!
Thanks Hans, I have to get these things cleaned and stacked..."More new products coming in everyday at Crazy Chris' Wall of Sound & Bait Shop"

Chris, you are an inspiration to all of us, brother.
That is one fine restoration. If that thing could talk, it would be saying, "Thanks for saving me!"
Awww man, Thank You...I'll tell ya, my inspiration comes from all you guys. Seeing the guys this past weekend at the meet just fired me up again. So many radio's, so many styles, so many reasons to have this one or that one. Hearing the stories of "Why" each member collect's what they collect.
You wanna know the funniest part...When I first joined Boomboxery, I was a novice and a bit intimidated, only had 3 radios (920, 777z, SCR-8). I was trying hard to get in the conversation but didn't really have much to add, so I kind of lurked around from thread to thread. Then I posted about one of the cassette deck heads on my 777 was all scratched up. It looks like someone took a screwdriver to it trying to scrape it clean. YOU, Bobby, mailed me a replacement head FREE and I was floored. That was with in a really short period of time being on the forum and I realized right there what KIND OF PLACE this was.
So, I printed the manual I found for the 777 on the forum, opened it up to have a look and it scared the hell out of me. I closed it up and never put the part in
I think my skill set has risen some since then
and it's time to go back and have another look.
Thanks again guys!
. You won't meet a nicer, more down to earth guy. Anyone who met Chris knows exactly what i'm talking about!
