Nice, even though it's teasing me as I've got one on it's way as I write this, not sure my neighbors are ready for it though. I think a good speaker test track might have to be "Jackin for Beats". Once I get mine bumpin, as Cube says, "There goes the neighborhood"

Congratulations, GZ! :thumbsup:

Definitely a TOP quality box that should be a cornerstone of every serious boombox collection. That's a nice M90 you found; it looks pretty clean already, in the picture. Detail it and it will probably be a "museum piece". One to be proud of, and enjoy!

thanks everyone!

a few days later and the excitement still hasnt subsided.

the more i look a this beauty, i have to say that it is damn near mint condition!!!!

three things: small burn or rub on the top left..... a little separation in the casing under the handle on both sides (picture is one side...same on the other side).....and the left antenna has a verrrrry small bend to it in the last section. only noticeable to weirdos like us. :lol:

other than that....this thing might be a 10/10.....id call it a 9.9/10.

now excuse me while i piss off my neighbors.

Unfortunately the speaker grills are srewed on from the inside so to access both speakers you will have to remove the chassis to access all the speakers screws. It is time consuming but well worth it...and with the service manual as your guide it is not too difficult.

You'll be ok taking her apart!
I was scared like crazy to open mine up.
But it's so beautifully and simply laid out inside that I'd rate it in my Top 5 of easiest to work on radios I own.



Rock On.

Very nice GZ she looks great congrats. :cool:

These boxes are easy to take apart just remember to label every screw and document everything by taking pictures so that way you can use it as a reference on putting her back together. :yes:
