A little slow lately so I thought I'd share a box that I picked up recently. No one wanted it. Sold once, for like $4 but buyer didn't pay. So seller relisted it a second time for $2.99.

$ 2.99!

How could I refuse? OK, it was advertised as having a broken CD door which is sure to be a big nono. I risked a few bucks just in case it was fixable. If not, then at least I could part it out. The antenna has got to be worth $2.99, right?

Well, turns out I was able to fix the door with a prosthetic (read: screw peg). Everything works! It has a cassette but the CD is my thing. I really like CD's. The speakers are interesting but I like the look of the APM's and the mounts looks just like my other sony unit which I'm thinking of parting out. So, I was thinking of replacing the speakers on this guy with the APM speakers from that CFS-9000 -- whatcha think?

I have one of these and picked it up from a thrifty for pennies! They don't sound bad as they are but the APM's could make it more interesting. :yes:

Great looking box. Sony was proud of this one, the name appears twice.
There's two more "Sony"s on the speakers. And It most likely has a "Sony" labeled battery cover.

Freakin sweet!
Long black, and with cool lettering and chrome.Vertical CD is the only cool way to do it on a box for me.
Nice find.

cheers OSS :afro:

Cool Sony, Norm! :cool: Those vertical CD players remind me of the B&O systems snooty people get. But it blends in nicely on the Sony like a second cassette deck.

Oooh oldskool69 has a nice one too. :w00t:

It has made it to my want list.

Non-egg or top loading, or tray loading CD boomboxes are pretty rare. So I agree -- it is something to add to a collection.

I have one.It really sounds pretty good for a non-ported box of that era.The bass is better than other comparable boxes I've heard.
