Got The Magnavox D8643 Today!! Whoohoo!! It's Mintly Minty!!

[oldskool69]

Got the Maggie from Ghettoblaster4Life today! Of course one of our members said that these are as rare in the U.S. as "Rocking Horse Droppings". This is the same as the Philips version less the DIN connector. I took a quick listen and WOW!!!! I will have a more thorough workout with it tommorow evening but this is everything GB4L said it was. And I did find the one "nick" he mentioned which was on the bottom of the left speaker and the size of a pinhead. Took care of that quickly and she's 100%! Loaded, and, to answer a question asked elsewhere, the speakers ARE three way with cloth covers!!! Even a lighted tuner needle!!! And yes it's HUGE!!! See my GX-300H in front of it! Weighty? YES!!! Well, enough of my jabbering!!! Here are the pics, additional info to follow!!!

Very nice, it looks new like you said.
So, sound impressions, I'm interested to know. but I guess I can wait.

size wise it looks huge! Is it about the same size as, say, an HK-9000???

Nice catch Oldy!

 

[Johnny]

GB4L has done it again!! Beautiful box!! Congrats

 

[blah blah]

Man I was wavering on that box a way back and now I am sorry :'-(
That is seriously awesome and the pics show just how clean that bad boy is. Excellent pick up indeed old skool

 

[ViennaSound]

Yeah, really great one in great condition!
This one is also on my "most wanted" list.
Great score!

 

[Superduper]

Wow. If GB4L took pictures like you do, he could've sold it for TWICE that... It didn't look nearly as good in the ad.

 

[Fatdog]

Way to go, Freddie!! I can't wait to get an advance listening session before the meet. I didn't realize how big that monster is. The eBay pictures really didn't demonstrate the size well, but that thing is huge!

Hurry up with the rest of the details.

 

[ViennaSound]

Hurry up with the rest of the details.

More details please!
The wooden speakers sound for sure pretty nice.

Also interesting would be the exact size.
There can´t be much difference to this one:
