Super rare aka. Golden Blockbuster.

[Hisrudeness]

Just recieved this box from Japan. Absolutely no information on the internet apart from the auction that I won.
So it's a Funai RCS-300G. It unlike Rising Aka's is a clear aka of the famous G.E 3-5259 Blockbuster.
Firstly it's gold in colour with a maroon tuner dial. It has twin 3 colour leds instead of sweep needle meters. It is multi voltage.
This box took a battering on the way to me with a lot of damage on the back cover and the cassette door suffered as well. It's a pity because it's really an eye catching and charismatic box with those big leds. Like the Blockbuster it's a punchy bassy boombox and works great on line-in.

I am not a fan of golden boxes, although I own some. But your Funai is a wonder! Too bad it was damaged in transit but I'm sure you'll restore it to its pristine beauty soon!

What a beauty and 53 watts power consumption she should rock.

Thank you gents. The box was well bubble wrapped with the stuff with the big bubbles. Unfortunately it didn't fill out the whole packing box and it rattled around too much hence the damage. The door concerns me as the little hook lugs that hold it on the frame are snapped. Any suggestions on how to repair? Using a G.E door is out the question as it's the wrong colour and graphic on it.......

They do sound good for a smallish box Floyd. Have you had a listen to this type before?

Oooh, look at those LEDs!!

Do you still have the plastic hooks? If not you could fashion your own and weld them on.

Nice rare FUNAI!
Good luck with the resto.

Holy... It really is a Golden Blockbuster!

 

[T-STER]

Whoa the gold with maroon trim is awesome, thats gotta be rare as hens teeth. I love the look, a Blocky with LED's in gold

The remains of the hooks are worthless now. Just plastic crumbs really. Will have to think of something else. The door and the glass are in pretty decent condition so we'll see.

Just beutiful Rory, just had an m90 in the post and it's been badly damaged, it was packed great too, this is one reason i do pick up only, fark sending anything valuable by the post lad

 

[Hisrudeness]

Did Doc's not post you out an 880 last year? Stereomad an M90?

Yes it's stereomads m90 thats been badly damaged Rory, i said nothing because i dont want a drama, also what can Lee do he did his best in posting it and i said i would take full responsability also he slashed £200 off the price so he has done his bit, all you can do is claim of the insurance and basically when you do that you get you're money back but the radio goes into landfill well im not up for that as this m90 is a special one, both the case has been damaged and the electronics, such is life, it is in for repair now
docs 880 is fine, but there is no way im posting anything to anyone, it's pick up only...when it comes to things like this im afraid, when it comes to me im cursed mate, i have no luck but then look at the damage you're radio took, im suprised you will post anything eather
