What box is this?

[rockdamic]

I took the picture during the '06 Under Pressure fest. I only had remote interest in boomboxes at the time. Now, I'm really curious to know!

Looks like a Turbo-1.

Sure is!

And here is a quote from out beloved Fatdog from Feb 08. You are the best Fatdog!

"The crappiest box I have had was the Blaunkton Turbo-1. It's a black box as big as a GF-777 but only weighs about 4 lbs. because it's basically empty. The plastic itself was so brittle that it would break if you looked at it the wrong way. It was so suck-tacular that I traded it off and deleted all pictures of it so I'd never have to look at it again."

Tell us how he really felt?....

I felt the same way about my first wife.

Too sad if the quality is really so bad. :'-(

The look of it expect more!
Love the style.

That's a great job of digging up that post, Alf! Yes, everything I said about the Blaunkton Turbo-1 is true. But, someone might be able to show it some love.

Yeah I showed my love to my "FORMER" suck-tacular Blaunkton with a sledge hammer. After it was shipped to me in a box with one layer of 3/16 bubble wrap and some newspaper it was basically worhless. I got tired of staring at this reminder of a purchase gone horribly bad so I mercifully sent it to boombox hell.

you know that is a bad ass looking box ,just too cheaply built to be very useful ,it would make a nice custom doomer though with the right parts.

You would have to reinforce the case with steel girders to make it sturdy enough to hold today's speakers. That plastic is really brittle. Hell, come to think of it, it wouldn't even hold up the steel girders.

i would just build a wooden case and attach the front plastic facia of from the boombox to it.

Ok, now i know what you are talking about.

Got a few weeks ago a big black CROWN at flea.
Was very proud to get for only 2 euros.

But i´ve never seen such kind of scrap.
The weight is only like 2 walkmans.
It must be nearly empty inside.
And the "sound" is.... :annoyed:
"Dynamic Sound", paaah
Look at the cheap construction of the tapes.

Pic from base:

Sad about those fake-boxes.
Great look, but inside trash. :'-(

 

[floyd]

its like the valentines day chocolates they look tasty but are really candy filled with the most vile crap known to man inside.

Yeah great way to insult and piss off your lady, maybe that's what they're for.

All very interesting!... I just thought graffitis on a boombox to be a unique original idea! And the picture does not give it justice... the box was quite a looker.
