Shine on my little Diamond.

[skippy1969]

Mitsubishi Diamond that is.
Here is a RARE little one for you all.
It's a Mitsubishi JR-6123.
I got it on Ebay recently and the deck was dead and needed a good cleaning and service.
I got it working fine now and its a nice little box.
Really well built and a pretty complex soft touch deck.
It would be nice if it had separate bass and treble,but it sounds good and quite loud.
I haven't found any info on it other than it has a Diatone brother the JR611
Diatone as you know or don't know is Mitsubishi's premier brand of electronics.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks man,I got it on Ebay. I just happened to see it right after it was listed and I hit the B.I.N.

Thanks! yeah it has line in and it sounds great.
One weird thing I've never seen before.
There in no line in selector.
But when you have the radio on and plug the RCA jacks in the line in the radio stops playing and the line in works automatically.
Very very cool!

Beautiful Box. Mitsubishi made many many wonderful audios once upon a time

That's pretty common with combined line level I/Os on DIN sockets but the only device I have with it using RCAs is my Hacker Grenadier and their RCAs used unique plugs with a longer centre pin to switch the input over.
I was looking at the box and thinking that it reminds me of a couple of UK native ones; a Ferguson and its Decca lookie-likey, maybe they're related and maybe that's why. Nice box.
