Electro

[6.1SRT]

Has anyone ever heard of an Electro? This one is on Craigslist. Kinda steep in price for my liking, but then again not sure what its worth.View attachment 27354

Electro Brand,my dad has an old SW radio from the 70's.Not sure about they're boomboxes,do seem to be a little on the cheaper side quality wise.

It's a piece of crap and its way smaller than it looks the only way to be worth any money is if somebody's dumb enough to pay it

It does have sort of that wheely or J1 type of look so it's easy to snag someone who isn't familiar. In fact, it looks a bit like this guy below except in black color. Still, I think it's even smaller than the techsonic because when you compare the deck door to speaker size ratio, it's not at all a large radiol

I have an electrobrand radio somewhere, a clone of the Radio Shack SW-100. It's not high quality but on the other hand, I would not consider it junk either. It's certainly better quality than that 931 look-alike whose name eludes me right now... but it has some teal color in it. Still if the electro was cheap enough, why not? There's a whole bunch of radios that are very popular for some reason, that I wouldn't even give a second look to.

Well, its definitely not cheap! Its $500.00! Not something I would pay for sure, unless it was one of those gotta have boxes. I just wasn't to sure on the brand and how many were actually floating around out there. I haven't seen one before "back in the day" or on ebay.

It's not that bad-looking Boombox but it's cheaply made I've nothing against that if I can get it cheap enough lol.

I do remember this radio having good speakers though but that's about it

Electrobrand is not common, might even say pretty rare. Pretty sure the guy wants lots of money because it comes with a carton. I do recall seeing one example sell a couple years ago for what I considered at the time, suprisingly high although I don't recall the exact amount, just seemed high to me.

Personally, I would not buy it for $500. That's 1/2 of a decent M90 already and this isn't nearly 1/2 of an M90 in terms of quality, sound, respect, prowess, etc.

Talk him down to $200, play with it for awhile, and then resell it on Epay. With the right photos & description I bet someone will pay 400-500 for it, considering it has the original box and decal.

Think I'm going to let that one slide. Honestly I won't pay more than $100 for a box. I may never have the collections like alot of you have, or the real nice pieces, but I have other interests I have money budgeted for.
