Got the L30 from eBay for a song! When it came something in the box it came in didn't sound right. Opened it up and I got caught up with another corny @ss packing guy :sad: ! The transformer came loose and bounced it's way all the way to my house. I immediately sent the seller a message about his poor packaging. I quickly got a message back from PayPal stating I got my money COMPLETELY returned to me :thumbsup: :thumbsup: followed by an apology from the seller :w00t: ! After that I decided to open it up and check to see the damage. It all still looked okay from my end and I decided to plug it in fearing the worst! Nope! It turned on and the speakers slammed me with some serious bass!! I was able to glue the transformer back in and solder a battery connection that got ripped off (possibly by the transformer) and now it's back to 100% :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Had to also fiddle with the power button because it wouldn't stay on but that's all good now as well. It's gonna need some belts too, but what 20-30 year old radio doesn't now a days huh?

Does anybody know how to make the buttons stay in place? 3 came loose and they just won't stay in there place

Now these bad boys I just couldn't pass up!! I don't even own a KABOOM but after seeing that they where 6 1/2's and 4 ohm I couldn't just let them slide!! Almost every radio I have has this size woofer in it and seeing that these weren't used I scooped them up as well as back up!! Oh and yes they're staying inside the box!!! :yes: :yes:

:thumbsup: somehow i love this stories bout poor packed boomboxes ending with a free fully working boombox :thumbsup:
great
Yea this deal worked out greatly in my favor! But the guy didn't want the box back so I just gave it a go thinking the worst and bam here it is. Wish other guys did the respectful thing like this. We'd all be a lot happier.

That's AWESOME, it seems sometimes a broken eBay box and really turn into a pretty good deal sometimes if you're able to fix it up. Also, I love the L-30, that thing can really thump even though it only has 6.5 inch speakers, the sound quality is pretty surprising for such a plastic and gimmicky looking box.

Yo Black I actually worked on it and it's now fully functional! :thumbsup: And yea your right it does sound pretty good. 6.5's or not these bad boys pound it out with authority! :stereo: Tape decks fully work now. I'm quite pleased with it. I've been playing with it all day till the lady of the house made me turn it down. :'-(

Next thing you're going to want to do is swap out those red LED's with some new ones that really put out some light!

I wouldn't mind doing that. Let me know which ones are the good ones and I'll do it!
