[Robb]

Hey gang !
Here's a new find. Found it at an estate sale today for $10.00
Early 1980'S Citizen JTR-1270 Boombox - needs a good clean and new
antennas. Tape deck works !
check out some pics. Its a heavy sucker and sounds clean and loud, very similiar to a JVC M70 if you can believe ! Very rare boombox made for JIL in Canada, but manufactured in Korea.
Some pics to give you idea of condition.
Sorry for the dirty pics. I just got it 1 hour ago. lol

Don't paint it Rob! It's in exceptional condition before clean up. What a beautiful box. Love the bold VU's. I'd have been all ove that .... Love boxes with that design layout.
Good hunting my man.

Very nice, just like mine but different tuner dial! But I still think it needs paint. Here's the other thread:

I dont get the joke.

 

[Reli]

There's no joke, I just happen to think mine looks boring as hell, and needs paint. Yours looks nicer though, it's brighter.

Its much nicer now after cleaning.
I need parts though:

- both 7.67 antennas (ends are broken off)
- Totoku AC cord cable
- 1 top strap cover

If you decide to part yours out, lemme know

Should we start a pool on how long it's going to take you to find one?

I give you a week...
