JVC RC-M80L

[Blasterpunk]

... from epay Germoney mmmmmmmminty . I was searching a long time for the M80. Here she is

 

[blu_fuz]

wow wow wow that is clean!


You know, even though it is a JVC - something about the design I don't like..... maybe the speaker grills


Either way, nice one!

Cloudy in Dessau...invite some sun
I saw that M80 already and in person it looks even cooler
You just get the good ones

 

[floyd]

love the m80 awesome .

 

[71spud]

Yes, the M80 is different.... I commend JVC for trying something out of the box, so to speak. The tuner is like nothing else...

And as usual Blasterpunk has the best pictures...

I like the M80 for being unique but agree it's not really much to look at.
As usual Peter your box is sweet and the pics are top notch.

Where do the batteries go?
On the bottom?

Nice boombox by the way!

 

[alfie]

What's the synthesizer part all about?

 

[Old school Scott]

Nice one.
Why do they call it the synthesizer?

Cheers OSS

On the bottom?

Yes, the battery door is on the bottom.
Seems it would be easier to damage in that location.

I actually like the way it looks -- it really grows on you. Unfortunately, good ones are virtually non-existent as this model doesn't wear well making this minty one extremely hard to find.

How is the sound on those M80's?

It actually had tuner presets.


These may not be the "looker" everyone wants, but it is a solid unit that sounds very nice.

i bet i would like it more if i saw it in person......pictures dont do justice for a lot of boomers.

 

[stormsven]

Wow its a cool lookin one . Too many questions but a few more from me - what is this connector on front bottom for and are the handle going out (those push knobs) . Congrats , amazing catch .

I could eat my dinner off that.

It's like a quasi-analog/digital tuner. You can tune via either up/down buttons or by rotating a knob. Unlike a digital tuner with digital display, I would liken it to a digital tuner with an analog representation of a tuner dial. In other words, the frequency range is identified by a row of LED's where the LED nearest the station on the printed dial is lit. As you tune the scale, the lit LED moves up or down the string of LED's.

The cassette deck, I would liken to the M90 deck. So if you like the M90 deck, you'll like this one.

does this compare with the M70!!!

 

[Superduper]

does this compare with the M70!!!

In what way?

Size/weight = about the same.
Features -- the M80 one seems to have more gimmicks including tuner presets
Deck -- I dunno: do you like an M70 deck better than an M90 deck? Up to you
Looks -- well, YOU be the judge. Some hate it -- some love it.
Power -- M70 is slightly more powerful
Sound -- M70 sounds better since it has more bass.
