Haha! nice one Shane.
Reli: The party centre is on the list! The little Marantz sounds amazing for it's size, very big and rich sound from a well designed unit.
She's got a hit lit up EQ too:
And very sleek deck.
I was looking at trading her a while back, but didn't ge tmuch interest. She's nice enough to hold onto.
Rock On.

Location: Perth, Western Australia I have done some test and the Conion wins (thank f..k for that)
conion had a peak db of 124.3 and an ave 117.1
trk9100 had a peak db of 121.9 and an ave 115.3
9494 had a peak db of 117 and an ave 109
777 had a peak of 116 and an ave 109.4
jc 2000 had a peak 117.4 and an ave 112.9
so if a disco robo has an advertised db of 109 and all my reading are similar on the disco robo
this Hitachi is great value for $20-$50 and is not light
so my story ends
with we can not always take thing on face value (it looks shiat there for it must be )
so buy up everything u see for one day you mite find a winner

I have a nice one of these and can confirm that they are surprisingly loud. 
Can't compare it to a C100 as I don't own one, sadly
It's not a 'heavyweight' loud more of a 'shouty' loud is how I would describe it;
doesn't distort easily which means the higher volumes sound fairly good without the sound becoming 'muddled' and losing its way.
punchy bass, not a huge amount of it and no real 'boom' but still reasonable.
Nice clear treble and mids and nice sounding tape deck, also records well on chrome tape (TDK SA-90).
I'd say these are worth getting for definite, but I only paid 25 quid for mine and wouldn't (personally speaking) pay more than about 40 for a good example.

There's a Chinese resturaunt I go to in my travels that has that hitachi. I have tried to get her to part with it for years. She won't budge . I have offered her a newer radio cash . Finally I just gave up. It sounds alright and has been constantly in use since it was new. I am sure it's covered in grease as well.
