[monchito]

[eldorado]

yeap it needs some good cleaning but overall at least it arrived in one piece

but it is good overall as i see

i meant more the ghetto look,

i like it, seems heavy

 

[blah blah]

nice monchito, i always want one of these. my first box was a toshiba, mine was a bit more low end i think, but love to hear how that sounds when you get it cleaned up and some nice pics too.

yes as you can see to the handle is a bit bent downward so like i said there will be some good work to get her up to shape this deck has the first autoreverse non moving head, the head is one like the 4 track cassette players use it does not flip around like other autoreverse decks do, its a nice medium box 4in speakers and tiny red tweeters i compare it to the pioneer sk-31 but has better bass and it seems louder to

Congrats on reuniting with your long lost grail Ramoncito!

Very cool monchismo, our first boxes have a special place no matter what they are.

I straightened a lasonic handle by heating the oven to about 175 and placed the handle on a piece of foil on a flat cookie sheet. It only took a couple of minutes and I had a firm piece of flat licorice that I was easily able to manipulate as it cooled.

Love those vu meters on the Toshiba, Great score Ramon.

 

[Gluecifer]

Ohhh lovely Toshiba there Ramon!

That must be one of the earliest boxes of that style with Auto-Reverse, no?
Just going off it having needle meters and the general style. Most would've been double deck units with a slip-deck style one that would have Auto-Reverse, I'd have thought. Super high end feature for single deck midsize, that's for sure.

Great to see your personal grail come home, beautiful work.



Rock On.
