Before: Please don´t expect an luxury boombox!
You would be disappointed!
Some members will know my search about an tiny PHILIPS 170, my very first boombox of the 80´s.
It was only lent by a friend´s mother and i must give it back in the ending 80´s. :'-(
In 1994 i found on flea a very rampaged exemplar.
Tape dead (this s*it box is nearly impossible to rebelt...)
Parts missing....
I used it in my military time, then stored away.
Waiting for an better one.
A time ago i found this aka, a HORNYPHON in very good condition!
Search goes on...
Then member "blinddarm" on s2go found for me a 170 on ebay and got it for me.
Was very happy.
But when the parcel arrived, big disappointment.
Box is a wreck inside.
Must have dropped bad, everything smashed inside.
Not worth a repair....
But dont get me wrong: absolute not normans fault!!
Then 2 weeks ago i was on the caritas flea.
A flea where things of residence cleanings get sold.
Most of died people or those who changes residence...
Look at the electronic storage:
see nothing interesting?
Same on me.
But at the 3. look...
And here we go
Few rampages, but working
Funny , the aerial top missing like on my old one..
And then the great shock!
There is a green color dirt inside the tapedoor!!!!
Nothing special?
For sure special!!
The same color dirt was on my first one.
No idea what from it is,but i can´t believe there would be a 2nd box with exact the same color dirt inside.
Fact: to 99,9% this IS my first boombox!!!!!
Here a comparo with a box i got for norman
Final a family shot with all 4 boxes :super:
Maybe the most tiny,but wonderful find for me ever.
Had tears in my eyes.
Now the smashed box get parted, to make mine perfect.
And then the one of the military time.
The HORNYPHON will need no restauration.
