the holiday LEVIS

[ViennaSound]

Was on holiday last week.
At the ride to lake balaton, i did a short stop at a street flea.
Did not expect anyting.

Then, wow, a nice NATIONAL-PANASONIC stereo
But only his wife at the desk, told me to wait a bit.
His man will call the price.
Hm, ok, will come later....

At least only place for 1 find in the car (full with holiday accessories)

Then, hey a nice big SIEMENS with vertical CD player
Just want to take it, then:
What is this thing under all those dirty clothes?
First thought : homestereo with speakers.
NO
It´s a big fat boombox!

Here we go: LEVIS

More details:

Never seen this one before

And supermint condition
No scratches, fully working

5xequalizer, line in, senceless double volume, 2 sw wavebands

nice VUs, doubletape

strange look with the horizontal mounted speakers

backside

rocks

btw: on the way back last saturday i stopped at the same flea.
the N.P. was gone,but the SIEMENS came with me
pics follow...

[Old school Scott]

Wow! I love this one.
It looks like the box Tron would carry.
How heavy is it?

Cheers OSS

Definitely styled after the Toshiba WX-1. That's a cool box, Roman!

 

[monchito]

roman that is a awesome looking box

it really reminds me of this box

 

[stormsven]

Great catch Roman Love the real ghetto style . And those insane LEDs .

 

[ViennaSound]

thanks boys.
Was really one of my best finds in the wild.
For 10 euros in this mint condition
The guy was selling all those stuff of residence cleanings.
Maybe the box have sleeped about 20 years and more in a storage?

Wow! I love this one.
It looks like the box Tron would carry.
How heavy is it?

Cheers OSS

Weight and size comes close to an TRC931
It would be a "big black empty box", but because of it´s a 3piecer there is more plastic on it

btw: now i own a few LEVIS boxes.
Anybody else owns one?
Would be interesting in how many countrys this label was sold.

Nice Roman, the deck doors look identical to the tec superjumbo doors on mine.
Great pics!

 

[mar(k)]

When did that happen?
Looks like your other super jumbo transformed into something.

Looking really good!
Hope you find more of these!
I wanna see ´em all!

Nice catch Roman.
Funny thing, I was in hungary last weekend, too.
And Saturday morning I was at Balaton.
I played with my band in Budapest, Veszprem and Kapuvar.
Its a nice country and Budapest reminds me a lot of Vienna.
Both beautyfull towns. And lots of beautyfull girls

 

[Retro Addict]

Great box Roman! I would be tempted to take apart the speakers and adjust the square speaker / foam, so the 'stereo' lettering reads normally instead of sideways when the housings are attached to the main unit. I sure as hell wouldn't be separating the speakers for use.

 

[oldskool69]

Very nice Roman! How does it sound?

And do you know what kind of National you weren't able to get?

 

[ViennaSound]

@retro: thought about the same! Will try to open the speakers and do it carefully

@oldie: not very bassfull, but strong and clear. also good sound over AUX connection
about the NP i try to find a pic anywhere.
Was an quite interesting one.
Size about my ITT touring120, massive built, silver, double row buttons (like at the SHARPs), oval speakers....
Maybe devoltoni know?
