flea review

[ViennaSound]

...of "the searcher" fleatour with my friend patrik.
Got a couple of boxes.
From cheapy to wreck till 3D

Starting with this crazy SILVA SUPERSOUND

still strange the prepared place of the nonexisting CD player

Instead it owns a LCD clock

then this big black AUDIOTON-SUPERSONIC came in.

Quite bad condition
antenna missing, tapes not working, dirty inside...

still have the same in good condition, so it will get stored as partspender

also this SWING POWERMASTER

still working, but the scaleplastic melted from heat and the right tapedoor rampaged

never seen labeled as SWING

then more luck
Under some trash i found this big fat HITACHI 3D

everything working
Radio, double tape with autorev and CD player

and good sounding

finally i found this cheap made, but great looking HAPPYTONE

basical it is like my INTERNATIONAL discolite, but no lites therefore more exclusive look.
also instead the double VU on bottom a 2nd tapeslot

need some work.
a crack on the left top and the scale is weak.
But really love it so worth to save

The happytone rocks. Never seen this 3d hitachi. And the swing is nice addition too. Congrats.

A lot of boomers Roman, niiiiice find
The happytone is interesting, and i like that shape of speaker grills in style of sharp

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Nice Roman, some good picks.
I have the Digital tuner version of that Hitachi, it's a very nice box and at the price you paid it's stellar.

Does any sound or air come out of the ports in the center, where it says "Super Sound"?

No
Think those guys have never heared "SuperSound"

But next to the label there are the tweeters

 

[dragonhead00]

Quite good sound, but not that much as it makes believe.
But all 4 speakers are real, no passive radiator.
This unit was sold under ~10 different labels....
