Crown SZ-5100SL

[kokocza]

Hi!

I'm noob here... today I saw announcement of this model, it's look great for me! but I'm unemployed now, so I have a question, is it worth 200 euro?

thx for your help

Oh boy - it looks really nice.....


If it feels like a little too much for you, then pass. Value is only in the eye of the beholder. You could find cheaper, but have to wait, and might not be as nice...... hard call to make expecially when you are unemployed .

First welcome to the site Second Hell and yeah I would go for it in a heart beat and like blu said you may never get that chance of a nice one again

This is what $40 will get you. (broken mounting posts, B deck not working, no antennas, dirty, abused)

Plus they are not easy to get parts for because in reality there are many real nice crown and unisefs and not enough junk ones

^ true - I have not been able to find any original parts for mine yet.

that one is clean and if i had the money spare and really wanted one then yes

but for some one new who wants to get into them and collect more ? then maybe not - there are a lot more cheaper boxes to enjoy first i would of said

some times jumping into the deep end with out enjoying the shallow warm end can not be as fun

but in the end it is up to you - a lot of folk on here would love to own that Crown (me)

let us know how youn get on mate

cheers B

does that beauty have line-in?

 

[blu_fuz]

No line in on this crown cz-5100 or the helix 4636.

Very important that the cassettes work but at the least the radio so that you can use a FM transmitter.
