Hi gang

So today I got my most recent acquisition, the NEC RM2800. I fell in love with the look of this box after seeing member Hisrudness's a while back. I never thought one would crop up for sale, but to my surprise one did in ex con so I bid and luckily I won her :thumbsup: The box is in ex condition with only a few very minor marks. It sounds very good and looks amazing. It has all the whistles and bells of a quality box and is fully functional, even the tape player sounds amazing. The only small downfall is some rust on one of the battery springs, it's only surface rust but I won't settle until it's cleaned off. I forgot to mention that one of the stickers on the back says Nippon electrical corp.

Unfortunately I can't post pics as my old faithful phone has gone and the one I am using is crap at pics. I can however post a link to the ended auction. Overall I am very happy with this box and it rates very highly as one of the best I have ever owned. Here is a link to the auction.....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEC-RM-2800-GHETTO-BLASTER-BOOMBOX-STEREO-RADIO-CASSETTE-RECORDER-/281666041204?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trks

Yes high featured indeed. If anyone else can tell me of another 1 piece box with all of the following:

Analogue VU's
Digital tuner / pre sets
Graphic equalizer
Music search
Twin aerials.
aka's of this model don't count!

Oh that is nice. I bet it's a Sony or Sharp. I don't think NEC manufactured their own boomboxes. Make sure to take good pics for the wiki :yes:

Tweeters mounted in the woofer grills, so to speak. Built by the same folks that made Bolt Boxes & C-100f's.

Very Sony (and Sharp) looking, this one is. Kind of as if Sony made a 575. :hmmm: Great score. Congratulations!

Speakers do remind me of Sony CFS-77.
There are some traces of Sharp GF-575, 858 as well. :)
Shall we just call it a SHONY then :lol:
