vintage conion cf-100

[murfino]

I am new to this all, I picked up a vintage conion cf-100 as my first purchase. It's in mint condition and looks great. Where does it rate as far as a collectible piece. Does it make me a real boomboxery member.

 

[Superduper]

Welcome. That is certainly a model that many boomboxery members hope and aspire to someday be graced to own. Merely owning one does not a boomboxery collector make, however. Many of our most fervid / passionate members do not have it. I don't think there is a clear definition of a true boomboxery member but suffice to say that if you have the zeal, energy and desire to follow, collect and study boomboxes, then you are definitely a "boomboxery member."

So is that a Korean aka, or an imitation?

as far as i know its a conion re issue that was made in korea .

 

[MONOLITHIC]

I wonder if that was the Korean version that was for sale on eBay a few weeks ago.

 

[Superduper]

Thanks Floyd. AKA = Imitation =

 

[murfino]

It does say made in korea on back, is that bad? it is not for sale on e bay, and i did not buy it there.. still has the sticker on the tape deck window and this baby is mint. I really found it at a thrift shop on eastern long island ,NY
