let Christmas roll on :-)

Christmas can be soooo wonderful.
When finding a long wanted box before.

It must´nt be something high class.
But a long wanted.

MOVING SOUND?

Yes!!

a yellow roller 1 came in! :vespa:

know the song of the yellow kangaroo?
I could sing:
I want a yellow roller!

Nothing missing and no damage

Wow, what´s inside?
Rechargeable high quality batteries.
Just starting to leak.
Luck, no corrosion

Now everything is well in my MOVING SOUND universum :sin:

And the best:
5 minutes later i got a second one.
No really roller.
But a faked one by INTERNATIONAL!
And it´s a doubledecker!

some differences to PHILIPS , but very similar

And it owns a 3x equalizer

backside

now all together :vespa: :vespa: :vespa: :vespa:

now searching for a pink one....

:vespa: :vespa: :vespa: :vespa:

Happy for you VS

Nice all together shot but I could have sworn you had more rollers than that.

Cheers OSS

Congratulations, Roman! Did your new Roller come from a flea market? It's great! (I've never seen grey one with yellow trim before.) Now both of us have a yellow Roller1 in our collection!

The black fake-Roller is fascinating! International copied, not just the shape of the boombox, but the knobs and buttons, too. I wonder what Philips designers thought of such an imitation!

I'm still trying to build a good collection of Rollers on this side of the Atlantic, but it's very hard, because, as you know, not many Rollers were sold in the USA. But I'll keep trying, and I'll post a photo when my Roller family is bigger. Philips has always been a favorite brand of mine. It's nice to know someone else who loves Philips, too!

Great to see you finally found a Yellow Roller to add to your cool collection VS

I did have a few of these in the shed but most are gone now. I still have a yellow one there and i think another one.
I see them fairly often at the flea markets here in OZ and always pass on them now.
Would be happy to send any on but of course the problem is the postage cost would far outway the value of these
Rollers

Thanks boys.
I neary had passed it.
It was under some trash at a flea.
And for 5euro very cheap.

@scotty: right, a have also 4 roller more, but of the 2nd generation.
Coming on day 4 of the christmas challenge.

@shaka: really interesting, the matching colors comparing to yours.
@AZA: true, shipping kills....

Always LOVED those Rollers. I remember when they came out; I always thought they were a great spin on the original classic boombox design.

They're a classic in their own right. Can't wait to get a yellow/grey one of my own.

Good luck scoring more Roman!



Rock On.
