Saved a Boombox from landfill Today

[Robb]

Yep..

 

[Fatdog]

Most excellent! It will love you forever after you give it bath.

 

[Robb]

yup

 

[Reli]

Dang, you could make some nice coin on that model!

Canada seems easier to find boxes in the wild than the US is. Here there are too many retirees hitting the estate sales, likely because fraudulent "trickle-down theories" have held the middle class down and prevented millions from truly retiring.

Nice! A 990...

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

DAMN! How did that end up there! These are very nice units! Great Save/Score

 

[Northerner]

Woh nice save

 

[docs]

that is a penalty save in the world cup final!

 

[ny935]

THAT IS AWESOME!! Those speakers are like two eyes looking at you saying "save me!!".

 

[deech]

Save of the year and its only early March.

 

[im_alan_partridge]

That looks at least as good as my shelf 990.

Am I the only one who spotted the classic phallic graffiti

 

[blu_fuz]

That is a fantastic find even if it wasn't in the garbage!!! Excited to see how it turns out.

 

[floyd]

Awesome , at least somebody had the decency to not just throw it in the pile , looks like they sat it in a safe place rather than just toss it on the ground.

 

[MyOhMy]

You can'r beat an Eagle Eyed BB Spotter! Well done and, by any chance, did you manage to grab any of the vinyl LP's and cassettes from the pile?

 

[skippy1969]

Awesome!!! an Aiwa TPR990!!!!
Too bad the cassette is a total PITA........
Great find, congrats!!!

 

[JustCruisin]

Oh yeah!

 

[Robb]

whats the best easiest way to clean it ?

 

[MyOhMy]

whats the best easiest way to clean it ?

Elbow Grease but, if it needs a bath, Northerner is the expert - if you ask him nicely he'll be on the next flight 'cos he just loves bath time for BB's!

 

[floyd]

If saw that **** i would have the big one like Fred Sanford.
I would be coming to join Elizabeth with an aiwa in my hands.

 

[gapjr]

Yeah, big aiwa's are rare to find in my neck of the woods. Love it!
