Cool pics Chris,I hope your trip will be an eventful one. Great little boombox that rc-555 is. I have one too. Has good sound up to about 7 or so on the volume and you gotta love the dedicated line in. I also get a kick outta the one l.e.d. level meter. Have fun up there in the great white north,its a beauty way to go.
Thanks guys
My wife and i came up here to prepare our rental house for a new tenant. Clean, paint, work around the place.
NEED TUNES!
Last year on this trip i brought the 920. It fit under every plane seat, no issues other than no space for my feet. This year, since the 920 is going to Vegas, i didnt want to risk damage so it was off the table.
I looked at the Crown 950. Same size, but no real line in.
Thought about my repaired Sharp 9696, but was worried if the broken/repaired case would hold up.
Thought the Eddie Van Halen M70, but its a Victor with the japanese scale tuner.
Considered a few minis.
I brought my new FM transmitter, so i plan on FM, but wanted line in as a back up.
Also, it needs to look the part.
The 555 hits it all.
Full FM scsle, line in, small, leaves me room for my feet, looks great, gets reasonably LOUD and sounds good.
Should handle the duties of cranking while i work and still can hit the road and use the line in and Bluetooth if need be.
The FM transmitter has an easy 5 mile range, so i can go any place in town and hear MY STATION. Only 3 channels here anyways.
I brought all my pre 1989 Heavy Metal, so KMTL 88.1 is going live in the morning.
Can you say...
"Woe to you oh earth and sea. For the devil sends the beast with roth, because he know the time is short. Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number. Its number, is six hundred and sixty six"
OH YEAH BABY!!!
I'll tell you how i chose this box...ralrein1 said:

Sounds like a kick-ass deal to me! Heavy Metal is the best for energy and rocking all day at work and at play!How about this one: In the begining good always overpowered the evils of all mans sins,but in time the nations grew weak.Our cities fell to slums while evil stood strong!In dusts of hell and the blackest of hates for he who uses fear awaits you! Now many,many life times later,lay destroyed beaten down only the corpses of rebels.Ashes of dreams and blood stained streets.It has been written that those who have the youth have the future.So come now children on the beast be strong and shout at the devil!!! Gotta love early Crue!😈🎸🎸🎸🎸Hard rock on!

Great story mate, enjoyed reading all about your travels. This must either be a small boomer or you are more manly than I, because I just carried my Sanyo M9998K half a mile to my car and it nearly killed me. Rock on !

Yeah, this thing is way smaller than your M9998K. Its solidly built though.
Thanks for following along
