PANASONIC mega boombox-wrecking

[ViennaSound]

Anybody looked in the "Broken Dreams"thread and seen Shakabooms pic of the boombox-heep?

Ok, yesterday at the dump-flea i had a bad deja vu!

A big heep of PANASONICs.
Most are 10years old, but high quality eggs.

About 50 boxes are waiting here for the end :'-(

All are out of viennas scools!
Looks so after 10years they are now all sorted out

Most are in good condition, some are damaged

The last chance to get them 7€ each, after 1 week they go all into the shredder

For an working unit no pice


Also a few other brands and a few oldskool units from skool

poor cobra....

....äh, cobras!

most will end here.
The dumping has just started....

Leave a few tears on this poor boxes.... :'-(

 

[bill]

such a waste on so many levels.
if they are working why throw them out.
i mean to me this is not recycling its just pure and total waste.
this happens here too.
those big cobra tops for sure are worth seven euros.
i mean some of the cobra topped boomboxes are at the very top of the list for good sounding portable stereos.
i suppose for me it would make more sense to ship these all off to some place and give them to the poor.
i mean its not about being sentimental for the boomboxes, its just not really what my idea of recycling is.

 

[ViennaSound]

True!
This is senceless destruction.

btw: The cobras cost 12euros each.
I took one as partspender for mine.

poor little fellas!!!

:grim:

 

[ahardb0dy]

buy them all and sell them, give them away come on you know you want to!!

 

[Ghettoboom767]

I'll take about 50 or so!! Just kidding-we need to start a save the boombox fund!!!
This is a horrible waste-we could give them away as Christmas presents!! C'mon guys-save the Boombox!!
Have a good day-GB.

 

[monchito]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[ViennaSound]

buy them all and sell them, give them away come on you know you want to!!

50 x 7 = 350€
Ok, sure there is a benefit able.
But so much money on one time.
And sooo much space for storage...

Hm, if i come this week there again and avaiable:
I will take 1 or 2 cobras.
They are worth to save.

Btw: if you feel better > the oldskool one came with me.
But it needs work.

If i was in the skool authority, they would go to a charity flea or so.
So it would have sence...

:'-( :'-( That just represents our throw away society.

It's even worse that those Cobras are being ground up never to be seen or heard again.

i just think that what passes as recycling in this day and age is ridicullous.

Seems to me that the best recycling is to get the box in to the hands of someone else not grinding it up.

 

[eldorado]

might be useful to grind some, of course,

but some could be used for charity as someone said...

RECYCLE YOUR PLASTIC !!!




they will be reborn as beautiful TV S !!!!

yay

 

[bill]

i mean recycling never was supposed to be a industry revolving around taking working devices and then reprocessing the raw materials to turn them into less quality merchandise that no one either needs or wants.
yes one could argue no one wanted these old panasonics either.
i find it disturbing the acceleration of the erasure of the technology of the last one hundred years.
i mean whats going to be left in fifty years of our society.
everything that can be melted down or turned into new goods will be.
i mean it is also food for thought that those panasonics could have just as easily been early eighties jvcs fifteen years ago when the schools bought these panasonics.
such a massive waste.

 

[TRC-911]

But I take solice in the fact that they will take on a new life and make the world a better place...or make life easier for lazy asses

 

[ViennaSound]

Argh, today i was again on the waste flea!
Another bunch of PANASONICs was thrown out! :'-(
What a waste!

Most of them will die soon...

 

[monchito]

thats so sad

 

[Radio raheem]

Havn't those dickheads heard of ebay.

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Havn't those dickheads heard of ebay.

Apparently not. Even Goodwill is using ebay, it's not like it's hard to figure it out.

..........In the second picture, the egg without its speaker grille has a depressed look on its face.
