What Boombox Are You Cranking Up Right Now??

[mellymelsr]

Yeah Mel!!! You got us all drooling at your custom boxes. Where did you get them painted?

Thanks for all the love fellas. I paint them in my garage. Started doing them about 7 years ago. Mostly for myself but I have done a few projects for members as well.

 

[mellymelsr]

sweet!

That 850 is still my favorite.

Hitachi 3D80.

War/ No More Trouble. Babylon By Bus. Bob Marley. via Ion bluetooth cassette.

Was playing some Swazi and South African music earlier (Bholoja and Stimela respectively) on the Sharp WF-T380 via iTunes. But one channel keeps fading out. The 3D80 has a warmer sound anyway. The bass fill is much better.

Just wondering who was the OEM manufacturer?

Orion STR-900

[T-STER]

Oh Reli thats bloody nice, is it the picture or is it really wide? Looks like a stretch limo box

 

[Reli]

it's not that big (62 cm long), but I love the low & lean proportions

Looks nice, never seen before.
Any indication where was this radio made?

Very old mono Orion CS4Dm (multivoltage 120/220V) was made in Japan, for example.

Japanese company, but outsourced to SE Asia. They made the ISP brand as well.

Nice Tre, was wondering what happened to this one.

 

[Hisrudeness]

Panny RX-C53
I was going to sell this as its never used and the wrong voltage.
Now I'm definitely keeping it. Fantastic sound and another Panasonic mini compo that embarrasses much larger boxes.

Yeah she's all fixed up and working now barring the led vu's, i even bought a new board but just cant get em working. Its an extremely awesome box tho now and i love it.

Oh now that is lovely, spectrum analyzer to! I really like these Panasonic minis. you really do have some interesting boxes Rudey. Your collection seems quite individual to.

 

[Hisrudeness]

I hope you can get it sorted. I wonder what the issue is? 9696's look very pretty with the LEDs going.

 

[Reli]

Which board did you replace, the main one? there might be a smaller board that the meters mount on, and if so, that board would have a couple pots that could be adjusted for meter strength.

There is a separate circuit board for the VU meters with 2 semi adjustable resistors on board. Neither seem to make any difference to the way the LEDs light up though last time I checked.

Sounds like he has a problem further down stream.
