Cool, did you notice any change in the sound? Seems like it might stiffen the woofers.

 

[hemiguy2006]

No I didn't notice any dramatic change in sound quality
This thing could surely pump the jams like no ones bidness
Painted the grilles tonight and she is looking sweet
Thanks guys for all the kind words !!!!!
And thank you Ira for trusting me to such rare boomboxes!!!!!
First the Tosh S-90 then this. I feel very privileged to have been able to
Fix these up for ya!

frank -
this last shot is a total heart stopper

 

[hemiguy2006]

I must have taken 20 photos to get that blue to show up like that!
I totally wanted to make sure I captured that because when you come get it
All I will have left is the photos to look at :'-(

 

[redbenjoe]

need to ask

do you have a special filter on your lens --???
your shots of THIS box make it look ......

dont have the right words. try ::::
----unreal // angellic // spaced-out // far out

know what i mean ???

 

[floyd]

you better bring some batteries with you when you pick it up as i see you riding in the bed of the truck on the way back . that's a long azz ride with a gf 1000 teasing you .

 

[hemiguy2006]

No filters just a nice Carl Zies lens on my Sony.
I have a lot of the same adjustments on my camera that you would
Get on an DSLR. I am still trying to figure it out.
Let me tell you though it looks just as angelic in person.
I'm staring at it right now!

anybody here remember an eddie murphy movie .... " TRADING PLACES " ?

there was his line ::
" first jesus -- then moses --now THIS "
-------------------------------------------

Really, how does that effect the quality of sound from the speakers??!

 

[floyd]

awesome job frank ..

i have painted many speakers and never noticed any change in the sound ,even with tweeters no difference at all.

What is that top radio? OMG! that's a lot of work put into this thing...

 

[redbenjoe]

bill --the top job was my own attempt to make a DUAL 10" speaker stereo version of the famous mono jvc 550
and it WORKS // sounds awesome -
its internals are all jvc m70 powered

 

[riker1068]
