[alvinm]

Looks are definitely inspired by the Lasonic....Ver nice!

 

[Fatdog]

Whoa! That's a cool looking box. I agree with Al regarding the looks too.

Did anybody else notice the rounded-square woofers? Is that the cutout area or are the speakers actually like that?

 

[Strānj-Bōōmbŏks]

Thanks bill very nice of you, hope to see some "strange" models in your collection?
I hope to be uploading more pictures of my "off-brand" boxes for you guys to refresh the pupils!!!

I'm gonna be going out to do some errands with the wife (woopty doo) hahaha, maybe I'll see something interesting, ya never know what you'll find... if I do see something I won't react to it, I'll just go back without the wifey... hehehe

Tausend Dank! bro!!!

I'm learning already yeah! I didn't know they were called "airplane field" VU's... awesome name... I love it!

Thank you for your comments on Aleia also! She helps me (believe it or not) to clean them when my boxes need a little dusting!

 

[Strānj-Bōōmbŏks]

Looks are definitely inspired by the Lasonic....Ver nice!

Yes! I totally agree!!! Very Lasonic look by NEI Riviera... thanks for the comments Alvin

Heheheh thanks alot Fatdog... I love my personal grail! It's way loud!!! On the back label says 48W is that alot?
It's "my baby" (after the real baby Aleia)...

It's the cutout area. The speakers are a pair of round 8" CM-800 Earthquake Woofers
(which were brought to me recently by my High School and very dear friend Mark who came to visit me in August).
The original speakers were dust already and had to throw them out... :'-(

Hey ElDorado Thanks so much for the comments on Baby Butterfly Aleia...
She's the heir-to-the-throne-boombox-collector-to-be... And she already picked "her" throne... the Riviera! Hahahaha...
Do you have any "strange" or "funky" looking boxes to show-and-tell?

WOW!!! Thanks alot Aiwa!!!! I really wanted to know more about my Riviera PST-1010 and you cleared things up so much!!! Cool...
Well, originally this one came with real tweeters but since I got the 8" Earthquakes with directional dome tweeters in the center I said what the heck, I'll take the other ones out... I did this very recently... so I still have to see if I wanna fill those holes again with some tweets! Any thoughts? Should I leave it like it is? Or put maybe some mids up there?

[Old school Scott]

I'm surprized nobody mentioned that cool turntable box.
That thing is super cool, wow !

Cheers OSS

 

[blah blah]

i want to see more of that strange box too...nice stuff!

 

[monchito]

wow thats a nice one and you said it was assembled in venezuela i guess the back stickers has that info wow thats rare for sure,, i wonder how many more were assembled over there???? still thats an awesome looking pic with your daughter sitting on the box.... priceless..... way cool

 

[MONOLITHIC]

still thats an awesome looking pic with your daughter sitting on the box.... priceless..... way cool

I think he's infringing on my "Babes and Boxes" copyright! Great pics and great box!

On a related note, I'm glad to see that it has a real 10-band EQ instead of a Yorx type 5-band (2 sliders per band made to look like a 10-band). Also, since it's made by the same people who make Lasonic, I wonder how it compares to the TRC-975 - not that I've ever heard either. Still, it looks to have the same physical dimensions and features...

 

[BMoney]

Very nice!
I've seen pictures of the 'Lanico' version but never a 'Riviera'...very cool.
Beautiful big black ghettoblaster...and look at those cassettes!
