Something worth a dollar two ninety eight on EBay…

My first quick pass through eBay in ten years and I see at least a dozen perfectly reasonable deals.

$40 + shipping. I would buy it but I’ve already owned one.
Three piece. These models sound great. Great bass, clear sound, line in/out, aux and phono are all compatible with component stereo, portable players, and phones. 5 Band EQ. No level meters. No bluetooth needed. Sounds better than boxes being peddled for $500+.

Somebody was asking $900 for an M90?
It must've needed a little "TLC".
I don't think I've see one for under $1500 the last couple of years.

It was a little rough. The back was off and missing screws. The cassette deck was inoperable. The antenna wires going to the tuner board were pulled off the tuner board. They claimed the Radio and Line in worked and the speakers were fine. It was all there except missing battery cover and the fine tuning knob. It was a little rough.

Cassette door was misaligned or broken. The motor was continuously running or something like that. All back cover screws missing also.

A “little” rough? If the antenna wires were pulled off the board and the seller said the radio worked then every other thing he said was suspect as far as Im concerned. If the back cover screws are gone then I would immediately assume those screw posts are suspect. Cassette motor constantly running is a familiar one, the heads are stuck down and that could lead to, or be from, that broken door. The door won’t close if it’s not in alignment. That fine tuning knob is hard to source from a component cassette deck (Teac) but it can be done. That knob was the only non stock part on my $900 M90 that Ira hooked me up with. It was always a race with that guy to get those deals out to members or get them posted here. I used to take great pride in answering his emails by thanking him but needling him by letting him know i already bought it. I wonder if Freddy still has the PC5 I repaired and sold him. I saw a couple on EPay and thought of him.

Not my cup of tea, but it's not too shabby. I was expecting shipping cost to be $300 USD. :lol:

Ikr? It’s not my cup of tea either, but I never regretted taking Norm‘s advice and buying mine for $30, because yes, it’s all about the sound with me and these sound fantastic, the bass is better than far more expensive boxes with far more hype.

Price drop this morning to $37.50 lol

Happy Monday everyone, putting the espresso on now. :breakdance:
