I remember that too, that was a crazy psycho reaction.
Your C-100F looks great, any one who thinks it's a piece of junk has a screw loose. :yes:

I find the kabooms overated :thumbsdown: I just doing a little contest between JVC NB-10 and AIWA CS 880...
Listening to radio21.de... just on AIR: Jumping Jack Flash...

And the AIWA goes louder, has better trebles and the bass is near equal... :breakdance: [ Image ]

The Kaboom has enjoyed tremendous praise and probably for two simple reasons.
It was by far the best boomer available for years and the bass is kind of legendary for a boomer. I agree it gets a little to much credit for what it is but it's still a great boomer for it's time.

Groovin' in style to the Conion C-100F I bought from LLopez back in '08.

[ Image ]

Caused quite a stir back then with an eBay seller named Real-Estate-Items (aka MikeCF100 and Beast69), who at the time was hawking an inferior first-generation Conion and was hacked off because LLopez got a better price (from me) for his Korean edition than R-E-I got for his first-generation, Japanese version.

The memories are still fresh. R-E-I emailed LLopez out of the blue with this message: "You sold a CHEAP REPRO Korean to this poor stupid sucker. Your little video doesn't proof squat! S2G members are the most dishonest sellers on ebay so don't brag about being a member...."

Yes, I was/am the "poor stupid sucker." A poor, stupid sucker who got the last laugh, because, while the Korean Conion I bought still looks, works and sounds like new, REI's Japanese box, with its
a.) tape decks that weren't working
b.) Tape 1 door that had no spring
c.) chip above the name
d.) "scuffs" and "scratches" (words from his listing)
e.) hairline cracks on the feet that he had repaired with glue
f.) static in the controls
g.) cassette storage drawer that wouldn't stay closed
h.) case screw on the back that was broken
has never been heard from again.

Fortunately, neither has Real Estate Items!

Trust me boomshaka you diddn't get wripped off like i did on a conion by

manlytronix the guy has never been heard from again, hopfully he is DEAD and i quite honestly mean that

Along with Manleytronix, there are quite a few old S2G members who just seemed to disappear in the last two or three years. :-/ I guess they lost the desire for boomboxes? :huh:

A couple of guys that come to mind to me are Jimski, Pabaker & ErnieJade? I think they were regular posters for quite a while, but have been relatively quiet, too...

:sad: Oh, the memories! It was pabaker who introduced me to you guys. I bought a boombox from him (a Panny 5250, I think) that was listed on eBay, and he actually phoned me to find out if I was a boombox fan, and, when he found out I was, he insisted that I become an S2G member. If it weren't for pabaker, I wouldn't be here today!

God bless you, pabaker, wherever you are! :sad:

I second that!! It was pabaker who sold me TWO boomboxes in one deal. I got the Rising 20/20 and the Yorx AKA from him back in early 2007. Haven't seen much of him since then. :-/

Methinks we're getting a tad off topic - sorry. :-P

Yea, I bought my M70 from pabaker. Great guy, with lots of passion for boomer. I sent him a few CDs with DJ mixes, too.... I may have to PM him from S2G and try pointing him in this direction...

I figure we can keep chatting, as long as we don't forget to mention what box we're booming..... So, getting back onto topic...

I'm booming my GF-9696, listening to Rick James: Bustin' Out!
