Hello all. I am new to using this site. Can anyone explain to me step by step how to do a PM?? I don't see any buttons that I can use to do a PM.
JVC straps. Available subject to remaining buckles left from Blu_Fuz.

@Superduper , I am not sure why you just reposted your earlier comment which I had already read. I could not figure out how to PM you. When I clicked on your name, the website took me to a page with a lot of statistics about you but I could not find a button that said contact this person or email this person or PM this person or something like that. It would have helped if you would PM me so that I guess I could then reply to your PM or maybe you could have sent me the price list with instructions how to purchase.
I understand that you are a new member, but you should understand that this is a hobby for most folks, and this isn't like live instant chat. You generally won't get instant responses. Please wait for members to check back in to see what is new. As to me reposting something.... what did I repost again? Because my last post here on this thread was 2 weeks ago.
This post here is the first activity on this thread for me since Jan 31, 2025. That being said, in a few moments, I will try to send you a PM (private message). However being a new member, you might not have messaging privileges until you've made a certain number of posts. I don't know what that number is, typically it's a random number.
IF we are unable to communicate on the forum due to your new status, you can contact me at the www.AnalogAlley.com Store Contact Form.
Check your PM. I just sent you details on what straps are remaining, and their prices.
Straps are located in the USA. International shipping charges are ridiculously expensive currently, and the addition of Tariffs and VAT might make it economically unfeasible.
Hi. Thank you for your reply.
I purchase items from the US frequently; I use a freight forwarding service in the US (MyUs.com) who are based in Florida. Custom’s charges would apply; but sometimes an item is only available in the US; so I accept the extra costs.
I actually haven’t bought the radio yet. It’s for sale in Ireland.(https://www.adverts.ie/35632183)
I wouldn’t bother with purchasing the radio unless I could source a carrying strap for it. I like the portability that a carrying strap would offer.
What colour/design straps are available please?
Thank you.
Hi. Check your PM. I've sent you a pricing and inventory list. Cross reference the chart with the strap colors shown in page 1 of this thread.
I was wondering if you still had anymore straps for sale and if so I can I buy 2 pairs thank you
Hi. I would love you forever if I could buy a JVC M70 shoulder strap please really hope you can help an old B boy out 
I've sent you a PM with inventory and price list. Note that remaining selection is getting sparse now.Hi. I would love you forever if I could buy a JVC M70 shoulder strap please really hope you can help an old B boy out
Note to anyone that is following this thread, at this time, all remaining straps have been sold out -- we have no more. I will see if I can get more buckle clips made up. This may take awhile. Will update if and when new straps are available again.
Ok, I did order and received a new batch of JVC buckles. So at some point, I will have new straps again. However, as I'm scheduled for more surgery again tomorrow morning, and will need physical therapy after it's healed, it could be some time before that happens, maybe a couple of months. So new straps are coming, provided I survive the surgery.
BluFuz did make up a batch for me ( Thank You! ), but they are mild steel, requires significant clean up, and then plating... However, after consideration of how much work it would take to get them finished and then the cost of getting commercially plated, I decided to go a different route that requires a little less work for me. These are now cut from 6061T high strength aluminum alloy. About the same strength as mild steel but will never rust, and is a softer metal relatively speaking so maybe less likely to scratch the boombox, although metal is still metal. Overkill for what they are going to be used for, and more costly for the same sized product compared to mild steel but it'll be less work and that makes all the difference.
