[Radio raheem]

I agree son, i mean if i see something and i like it i buy it irespectfully of the price lol, as i pointed out in my post the most important thing is to make sure she is complete with the yogurt pot...i think my pc 5 was £250 but then it was boxed and complete, i wouldn't have bought it if i hadn't seen the box...thank god i did lol

back to you and me waffling on, we may as well carry on Sir lol

Hey guys, got the PC 11 finaly. Its even got the original manual and papers.😳👍😀
And since the PC is located less than an hour away, the seller is shipping it free of charge.

The last PC 55 I bought also came with all original manual and papers and on top of that, sold to me by the original, now 71 years old, owner. He had bought the PC 55 for $600CND in april 1984.
Just a fun fact.

New “old” toy... A project maybe? JVC PC 11

The PC-55 is a great BB. But you dont want to go inside... Man is it ever complicated techno.

I gotta get my hands on one of these infamous 55's, sound like fun to work on

Bought 2 Paradigm speakers that will be modified to fit like the original speakers. Fittting the original front grills Is the real chalange. The reason for this project is the bass missing with the original speakers. The Paradigm produces incridible bass and amazing overall sound.
Will I call it a Pana-digm or a Para-sonic boombox now? 😜 IMG_2779.JPG

I added some Infinity speaker internals to my Sharp VZ3000 cabinets. Made a big difference

Currently fixing up a Hitachi TRK-9100w. Got it stripped down ready for a bath and I've cleaned the pots, sliders and switches.

Speakers make a big difference. VZ3000 plays the records well? They’re not that many BB record player out there,
Good luck with that TRK!!

They’re are great BB. Fun to use and impressive... but stay out of it. But you’ve figured that already. 😄

I live to tear into these things and fix all their problems. It's partially why I love this hobby so much

Here are the speakers I used to modify my Panny RX-C300. That is why I can turn the volume to max with no distortion what so ever.
They sure perform great!

Back to working on this thing again, lots of cutting and splicing involved but she's almost there.

Fark Floyd you are the mad scientist. This looks utterly badass!!!!!

Thank you , I tell you cutting these up right was a hassle , now time to join the parts with 5 gallons of jb weld lol.

The best thing about the jb weld is I can almost mix it to match the case color.
