I've never been a fan of Emerson, but what do you think?

This has come up for sale locally. I have always stayed away from emerson brand. Not sure why really - but is there anything you can tell me abou this Emerson CTR 949? How it sounds, cool features, year, etc?

PS, if you can't tell, it is a one piece box.

Haven't had contact with any Emersons since the 80's but the ones I did back then were all of low quality and poor sound.

if the price is cheap, its worth it in looks alone...

Possibly $10 and a 1 hour round trip drive.....

For this price take it!
Please don´t compare it with the DYNASTY , but it´s a nice box.
Have the same as UHER!

It´s not the hammer, but i´ve heared more worse boxes.
And the look of the silver EMERSON is really nice.
I remember it owns AUX connection, so no problem to add an MP3 player.
Real nice 1piecer, daily player. :sin:

Good point, great for an everyday boomer.

It figures that you would have one just like it

Emerson probably the equivalent of our modern day Colby.

 

[monchito]

but emerson has been around for a long time just like lloyds as i used to have a 3 piece lloyds boomer which was not a bad box

I like the Emerson brand just for the very stylised look of some of their (or rebadged) models. Love this, it's one of my favourite non-traditional looking ghettoblasters.

Doesn't sound exceptionally awesome, but sometimes your gotta go for the ghetto over the blaster.

Jump on her Blu! For $10 she'll be well worth the effort.



Rock On.
