Just A Quick Update!

[Nickeccles]

Hello People!!

I am not going to be around for a while due to personal circumstances..............

Nothing to worry about health wise, I will update on my life events soon enough

Anyway:

This Arrived Today!!

Been after this model & version forever.......
This is unloved but complete - tuner & amp work perfectly, tape deck needs belts!!
It is filthy dirty but will come up beautifully

☺
Stay tuned for the restore......

Looks nice and a solid looking cassette mechanism as well. Should be another great box after you're done with it...as usual

 

[Hisrudeness]

Quite a handsome box. This should turn out well. 8190?

 

[T-STER]

Yeah these seem really popular and fetch strong money lately i notice.


I hope all is well with you NIck and we see you back soon.

This is the slightly harder to find TRK-8290 with the silver tuning dial, speaker grilles & the piano type keys for the tape transport rather than the solid type keys used on the 8190!

I don't know if there are any other differences between the two - I have always pondered this over the years!!

Definitely prefer the look of the 8290 which is why it has taken so long to find one all complete!!

As a side note: I am sadly unable to make it to the meet due to changes at home - Not the best time for major changes at home, however it is for the right reasons & hinges on me being happy again since the marriage breakup & the horrible after effects of the stroke!!
Hope to catch up with you guys at the next UK meet!!

A rock solid looking Hitachi if ever there was one, good catch. On the other matter, life is sweet with a good dose of happiness.

These are a bad ass mid sized box ,outside its like a ****ing little piranha just blasts like hell. I wish I never sold my 8190. Rock on !

I had one of these around 13 years ago... The sound is impressive and it is satisfyingly loud...
The speaker size places limitations on the bass frequency but it's still a great sounding system.

I imagine this was definitely a high end unit in it's time.
