Supertech Superjumbo score

[Sel The Don]

Picked this up this morning along with a Sharp GF-329. I always thought these Superjumbos were more show than sound but bloody hell this thing pounds!

Here she is in all her glory.

Congrats!!! Great score!!!! Yeah, these Jumbos lack build quality and are hollow but damn they are flashy and and pretty damn powerful!

So what's the back story? Where did you find it?

 

[Hisrudeness]

These are great fun and the fact they sound good is a bonus.

 

[Sel The Don]

Thanks fellas.

I picked it up this morning from a jumble sale here in Turkey along with the GF-329. All of my blasters have come from the jumble sale, Theres all Sorts. I think I'm up to about 35 blasters currently. Last week I picked up a Grundig, cool looking thing. I mainly have the GF Family, Goldstar 850, Panasonics, etc

nice score!!

 

[Sel The Don]

I still can't get over the size of the thing. my 9494x and even the TSR-850 looks like a kids toy compared to this!

 

[MyOhMy]

It certainly is a good looking box, any chance of a pic with the box working in a reduced light environment?

Apart from a missing aerial, missing slider on the EQ and tape B running a bit fast she's in really nice shape. Some of the blasters I get hold of are in really shiat condition, such as this Gf-777 I'm hoping to pick up this week (photo below) but as the prices are reasonable I can't complain.


So are these SuperJumbos rare? There's a few AKA's as far as I know too.

super jumbo at a jumble sale is a good day out. looks in great condition. i dont have 1 but have held and heard 1, and yes they a seriously huge and sound rather good.
id buy a 777 if it looked like that at the right price.

 

[Sel The Don]

By the way, what is the security sensor for? If I press the button all it does is turn off the unit.

 

[Sel The Don]

Apparently everything on the 777 works, including both tape decks. I'm buying it for the equivalent of $20

 

[Van Presence]

i thought it was a anti theft system like on a Conion C100. but the 1 i saw didnt have that function.

DAM! $20 is sweet!

 

[Sel The Don]

Yep $20 is a flipping bargain

By the way, what is the security sensor for? If I press the button all it does is turn off the unit.

When you push the "Security Button", it's like setting the alarm on your car. It has an optical sensor that detects light movement. It waits for a few moments until there is no movement (like when you leave the room) then it sets the alarm.

Then when someone enters the room and the light in the room is disrupted, the alarm goes off, it sounds like a car alarm coming out of the radio at full volume!

Here are two radio's that that feature:

I had to Google Map where Bursa is. I spent some time in Incirlik Adana (Air Base military Deployment). It's about 840 km away.

J1 good radio like them well worth having

 

[Hisrudeness]

So many Aka's of this box.
Pro-max, Supertech, Torec, Techsonic, Intermax, Clairetone 7985, Phonia. I'm sure there's more.
This is my Larsen. Notice the variations of digital clock or movement sensor.....or nothing!
