Hey lil' bros and sistas!
Just wanted to share with you my latest find, my Pioneer SK-606F...
And the best part is I got it for FREE from a friend sound tech guy I visited a few days ago (as I do regularly in my weekly "Rescue Rounds" since there are no Flea Markets here) :'-(
Let me tell you that this baby cranks the mutha!!! (story further up ahead)
It's a real solid and heavy box for it's size too: (19.5" x 7.5" x 4")
Short-Story: Took it to a friend's birthday party last weekend - Got there with my a cappella group, and quickly noticed there was one of those Coby-Style "eggs" hiding from shame in a corner with some Reggaeton distortin' - When I walked through the door with mine "cradled" in my right arm (volume not even half way) with "Whip It" from DEVO, everyone was just in awe at the volume it could generate and at the box itself! The egg immediately succumbed to the "Power of Pioneer" and cease to exist... It felt kinda good... but then, when the song ended, I felt a little bad inside and decided to give my box a little rest and the egg a chance!
Only flaws: came without the handle, without a silver frame that I think goes around the acrylic lid and without the tape belt (which I already bought)... I cleaned it up a bit and this coming week hopefully I'll be painting the grills shiny black again!
Here are the pics...
Btw, any idea where I can get a handle and the silver frame around the top acrylic lid?
Really bad lookin' grills... but nothing a good sanding and paint won't fix!
Can you see that really hard hit it took in the right corner? :'-(
Funny how it doesn't have a Play button ? It's over with the function select buttons
Notice the word "Colored" LCD? It's workin', I just didn't have any AA's on me when I took the pics, sorry!
I really like it without the grills... extremely simmetrical (except from the LCD screen and counter location)... almost Kubrickeske?
Thanks for watching you guys... StrÄnj-BÅÅmbÅks out...
