FINALLY!! My first Boomboxes :-D

[BexKola]

So I have just acquired my very first (and second) Boomboxes!! Sanyo M9818F which cost me the extortionate price of £1 and a Philips D8112 for a mere 50 pence! They're both in need of a decent clean up which I'm planning to do tomorrow. Shame about the condition of the Sanyo but at least its fully working and sounds awesome. The Philips had a problem with the cassette door jamming but luckily I had an expert to hand who sorted it out in no time!!

I am a very happy girl Only problem is now I definately need MORE boxes!!!!

An excellent start to your collection there Bex, and I dare say a couple of rarer boxes there as well.

That Sanyo will draw some admiring comments I'm sure, and I reckon Vienna Sound will have at least one of those Philips boxes.

Now get out and find some more, especially at those prices.

You go girl!

Just a few of them.
It´s a cute little box, love it.

And the SANYO is a hammer!
Really a rare bird.
Congrats!

Thanks everyone!! I'm really pleased with them

And sorry Saxonman, don't think I can part with the Sanyo. Its now sentimental and when I have a wall full of boxes I will look at it and be able to say "ahhh my very first boombox" lol. Looks like we're gonna have a bit of a war now we're treading the same boot sales... lol

Nice Find's Bex and even better prices! That Sanyo is really wild. Is the center speaker a SUB? Looks like it weighs a ton!

Digging the Modern / Post Modern design of the Phillips also.

Well, your hooked now! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Just joined today.

I amazed at some of these BoomBoxes.
I had a humble Philips D8112 when I was a young lad.
Remeber being amazed at the sound quality, well then I was 10 years old!

Well done, love the little Philips box

I can totally understand you. I kept my first boombox too, although it's a mediocre three-piecer in rather poor shape. I gave it a tough time, so it now deserves its retirement
