Mint JVC and big wrecking

[ViennaSound]

Found this nice JVC on flea.
Fully working for 25 euros

Usual i would´nt pay that much for it, but the condition is really

backside with original sellers sticker

Littlebit military style, or?

boomed it today on a sad place.
The first one of our serie100 trams will be scrapped now.... :'-(

at the parted control desk

doorsteps
"no ride any more"

inside it got some restauration short time ago.
But now it have to go...

time to say goodbye.
btw: age of tram and box is quite similar!

[kingrat2010]

nice unit overall with some very nice antennas

Ooh, I don't recall seeing one of those before. I like the matching "windows" on the front for the dial and meters. How does it sound?

 

[Superduper]

That's the JVC RC-717 or variant of it. The bus-car is the thing going right, not the boombox I hope?

It´s a really good sounding unit for it´s size and age.
Really love it.
Also the VU´s are switchable:
2xVU or 1xVU and battery

also got the older version of it a time ago:

Understood Roman. But memories will last a lifetime, especially with the help of photographs to remind you when you get old and forgetful.

The problem was another.
The wagon was not at the end of it´s life and would be sold to east countrys for sure.
But getting parts for over 30years old trains is very difficoult.
So 2 of those series have to be parted, to save the lifes of their brothers...

Great threat Vienna, looks like a great find and cool story on the trains....I'm a big train fan myself....You do a great job with pictures too!

I give it 4 thumbs up!

 

[oldskool69]

That is one tough JVC!

Too bad about the train though.

Here in the 'States the turn trains into resteraunts sometimes. Maybe they could start doing that?

Till a few weeks ago we also had a beautiful railroad restaurant.
The "piano express", a old steamer with historic cars on the danube island.
Now a few idiotic vandals burned it down. :annoyed:
Lost forever....

 

[ViennaSound]

Now the 2nd one died....
