[monchito]

[bill]

Excellent, I never did mine on s2go!

1. Are you a guy or a gal?
guy

2. How many boomboxes do you have (working and non-working)?
back into the 30s after hitting about forty five and giving aways a couple dozen the number has been climbing again.

3. Do you collect boomboxes or already have all you want?
i have completely stopped buying anything that is not what i would consider a expensive item back in the day.
so in other words no smaller boxes unless they are good quality.
way more picky now than in the beginning but i suppose thats the process of figuring out what you like and dont.

4. Which brands do you prefer?
sanyo jvc pioneer.

5. Do you have any personal favorites?
that i own
disco robo but mine is needling love should have kept the other one i sold.maybe this one is the craziest of them all and for me to have one is pretty cool.
pioneer sk95 hey its a great boombox even with its fabric speaker grills. mine is so mint its not even funny tuner dial on this one is very nicely presented.
m9998k well whats there to say really other than this is great boombox.
hmmm sony fh-7 way ahead of its time and just about as good sounding as i think you can get. big brothers for this are very nice too.
panasonic dt707.
if you wont get one beacause of its looks get it for its sound. i mean it really is a excellent sounding machine.
kaboom has t go on there too. for its short comings its a great big tube of goodness.

6. What boomboxes are on your wish list?
the cliche ones of course.
m 90 or 70 the big conion any of those really would be the last of my collecting days.
until one comes along i am happy to keep searching. i would probably call it a day if i found a big ben too.


7. Do you have any for sale?
nope. i mean i get them and i enjoy them.


8. Do you have any for trade?
i have way to many kabooms. i do want to get rid of one of them allthough the last couple of days the thought of using the three i have with some battery op gear to do a mobile performance would be cool.

9. What kind of music do you like for your boomboxes?
really truly its more of a isssue of what music i dont like.
i like any music that is well done. even gospel i mean if you cant get down to blind boys of alabama and randy playing the steel lap then come on.
classical sure even opera.
theres too much music out there to just pick one genre.
however this being said i am thinking that perhaps some of the bat caver in me shines through every now again more so than others.

10. How do you divide time for cassettes/radio/line-in?
i am going to say its a even split between all of them.
some of my boxes i have dont have working cassettes. i am ok with that.

11. How did you learn about S2G?
you need to rephrase the question to be more suitable for boomboxery

12 i have pursued music for many years now. sometimes making very good money from it and sometimes not so good.

13. Age?
your guess?

14. Family?
me and my benefactor.
