Heaviest boombox

[Fatdog]

All this talk of component boomboxes and such got me to wondering...

What is the heaviest boombox, without batteries, ever produced?

 

[Johnny]

WX-1

Well, as the resident homer for these things, I would say there are five primary candidates in no particular order:

The JVC PC-55, The Telefunken Hifi Studio 1/1M, Sanyo C9, Pioneer CK-11 and Fisher PH-480/490/492.

A Doans pill is required if these are carried for any length of time.

I heard it was the Sharp HK-9000! It's the big behomth black one-Vlad1234 has one.
I actually heard it was heavier than the PC-55.
GB.

Okay, I know my FH7 weighs more than a Tele 1m, and I think this Toshiba outweighs the FH7..... not sure as I dont step on the un-holy thing known as the bathroom scale.....

My FH7 is a killer, but I still say this WX1 is heavier....

 

[Superduper]

It's the Sharp VZ-2000. I think it's 37 pounds. I know it's a real bear to lug around.

I could see that giant weighing in at that much!

I've weighed em'. The WX-1 though heavy as hell, is slightly lighter than a HiFi Studio.

The HK9000, though weighty, is slightly less heavier than a PC-55. I had one before I sent it to Chris (Kittmaster).

The only reason I didn't toss in the FH-7 is because I figured it weighed as much as the FH-5 which I have. The real question iswhich is heavier with batteries!

And Sup, I think you got it with the VZ. I had forgot about that one with all the turntable and stabilization guts for said turntable.

I know the heaviest boxes I've ever had was the JVC PC-55 and the Marantz PMS-7000. Heavy duty......

 

[Superduper]

Skippy. I don't know about the JVC 'cause I never had one, but I can tell you that the PMS-7000 isn't nearly as heavy as the VZ. If you are strong enough to hold it at arms length, you might topple over. No No.... No kidding....

My 7000 was heavy but not like "holy sh*t" heavy!!!

LOL! Your right there Johnny,I think my arms grew a few inches when I carried a Marantz PMS-7000 in one hand and a Marantz CRS-8000 in the other..........

 

[Johnny]

YEP, I am now rubber band arm man!! a gangly boombox super hero!

 

[TMR]

what about the Panasonic RX-C100.. talk about a solid box..

 

[redbenjoe]

i think the medium size aiwa carry-compo is the heaviest --
44 pounds w/o batteries --
its all steel and wood -
spud and agentO have them

 

[floyd]

for me it's the jvc dc -7 almost 40 pounds
sharp vz 2000 around 37 pounds.

 

[LLopez]

i agree with JVC Floyd is got to be the JVC DC-7 cause I have one of those and is heavy as hell, But I never had the Aiwa compo so perhaps Ira is right.

 

[hemiguy2006]

I think the M-1 has the WX-1 beat but Johnny will be able to tell for sure as he has both now.

 

[monchito]

to me i thought it would be the m1 i have the wx-1 its heavy but the tele still seems a bit heavier then the tosh but if you really want to know which one is heavy let it drop on your toes if you scream its heavy

Monichito has my old WX1 and I thought it was heavier - but nope! - and thats what I was going off of
