AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


The DISCO KING GHIDORA!!(c) is hatched....RUNNNNN!!!!!

stage 1:

Full cosmetic custom restoration, new LEXAN 1/8" plexi window, huge GRUNDIG bumper bars for protection, plus new top trim from Bredego....sweeeet!!

I had these massive bumper bars from a GRUNDIG blaster & wanted to use them for my next M90 to protect the face & add that rugged mean look that I love so much about good bumper bars.

I also wanted to bring out the styling accents that are almost hidden in the M90 design. I added the red to the woofers & tweeter crosshairs to add some depth & detail.

Theree is nothing like having a new top trim & lexan plate, fresh from the glass company around the corner. 10 bucks gets me 4 cut pieces that epoxy right in, perfectly.....

New hammered finish paint is dead on almost a perfect match to the original color. Even the shift is even between the unpainted control panel & the new finish....The hammered texture is perfect for blending & touchups too....

Below, you can see how the bumper bars save the entire front of the blaster from harm, in the event of a face forward fall. My glass table's reflection shows how the cassette door just clears the table-top, when fully open....

Thanx for the comments guys, even if mixed. I know it's not something most grail collectors would do but for me, it makes it my own unique M90 that no other can come close to for style, sound functionality, finish, etc. I really like the bumper bars just 'cause the angle mounting looks so mean & very different from the rest of the bumper class blasters, like the Rising & Grundig flavours....

Stay tuned...much more work to come....

I have a request....

If you still have many of your modded LED blasters (I know you have sold some). I would love to see them all together for a video running.

That would be INSANE!

How can I deny a polite request like that. ..I'll have to wrap up some projects to do another rodeo roundup of my RGB herd but alas most are gone. I've done 10 blasters so far & are in order of creation...

1st SHARP GF-777Z ** DISCO DESTROYER!! ** SOLD to Big Jerzy in HI for a king's ransome(1st ever LED mod of any kind, completely original in design)
GF-8989, tape deck was completely missing but LINE IN & RADIO worked OK, just a stupid amount of leds for the size of the radio. Could be seen from space, probably ** SOLD to jorge89 for a smallish sum
1st JVC M70JW ** BOOMZILLA!! ** SOLD to Vintage Man for a small fortune
1st JVC M90JW ** The DISCO M-thership-90 ** SS-M90 ** Hardest Tuning window LED mod to date. Looks amazing since the beam of each LED sinks into the silver dial plate like a hologram & shifts with perspective ** SOLD to Big Jerzy, again, in HI for an un-imaginable amount of clams

2nd SHARP GF-777Z ** DISCO DESTROYER 2.0!!! ** My Personal Stock
2nd JVC M70C ** BOOMZILLA 2.0!!! ** My Personal Stock

CROWN SZ-5100 ** DISCO COSMIC CROWN ** BIRTHDAY GIFT =)
SONY CFS-88S ** DISCO VU-ZILLA!! ** BIRTHDAY GIFT =)
CANDLE JTR-1287 ** DISCO PORTA-PARTY!! SOLD for a modest ransome

2nd JVC M90JW ** DISCO KING GHIDORA!! ** My Personal Stock(under construction)

I'll try to get a few more going for that video, may take a few weeks but we'll see what comes...First, I have to wrap up the Ghidorah project before I take on anything else right now. I'm in the middle of finalizing the placement of the body LEDs & mapping out which way the LEDs will flash, strobe, etc...

Scientists have measured the growth rate of the 3-headed flying lizard, as it hibernates & grows within its cocoon. They are alarmed at its growing radioactive powers & strength. They wonder what will happen to Japan & even humanity itself, if GHIDORAH is not contained. It could reduce the very earth to a fiery Chronic-Brite RGB hell....MUAH-HA-HA!!!

stay tuned.....

Really cool something different! I think it would of look little cooler and a little bit more factory if you put jvc rc550 guards on it instead imo.
