What's rarer than a golden C100?

[mmcodomino]

Now I got you thinking!

Well, let's pick up on the gold part, shall we?

Yup, I got a golden M70 today .

No no, not the common M71 job...

Many doubted its existence, only few have ever surfaced .

I present you: The Victor RC-M70GX

Another thing worth mentioning is that it is fully working and in mint condition

Once again, this one only found its way to me with the help of Blasterpunk and also Fresh_Bacon

What is a 90mhz only tuner?

What is a 90mhz only tuner?

Since this was a Japan only boombox, the tuner is designed for the Japanese broadcasting waves which are 76-90 MHz on FM. The rest of the world seems to have 88-108 MHz I think.
Anyway, I can get 3 stations in crystal clear stereo and aside from that, this is a freaking M70GX

The radio only goes to 90Mhz.

Japanese FM radio typically only goes from 76Mhz to 90Mhz, the rest of the world goes to 108Mhz. The radio on a Japanese box won't pick up stations who's frequency is above 90Mhz. i.e Q 104FM New York.

There you go

The serial number ends with 0180...makes me wonder how many were made My guess is max. 1000 - they are really rare birds.

WOW!!!! I know of only one other person that has one of those.
Henrytai has a GX 70.
Very cool!!!!!

Oh you got it! It's soooooo beautiful... I was bidding on one recently and my phone froze as I was about to win it for $30.... It wasn't mint but still... so now I'm holding out for the next one to surface
It's sooooo beautiful...
Good work! I think I adore your collection.

That one in Japan? It was a complete wreck and still went for 80$. With all fees and shipping, you would have had a POS for big money .
To be honest - the abused M70GX was the only GX I saw ever since I started watching the Japanese market
I don't even wanna know what happens when a mint one like mine turns up for sale

Thanks by the way...I also sometimes stop and find it interesintg/amazing what devotion and passion can lead to .
Boxes I never dared to dream of owning are now lined up on my wall . I have to say it feels pretty good

 

[redbenjoe]

all those fm 90 boxes are a total waste for radio fans like me

I agree. And, I humbly submit My vote that this GX be added to the top banner of boxes on Boomboxery's page. I think this is worthy.
