Zippy's Helix HX-4635 (Conion C100)

[Reli]

Member "Zippy" bought this on Ebay from some scrub who refused to ship it to Germany.....So I intercepted it, polished it up a little, and will re-ship it to Zippy tomorrow. This bitch be heavy! Everything works, except that the tape counter belt is slipping. Also, is there supposed to be a meter light in the upper left corner?

Great song and even better CHROME!!
There is no bulb on the VUs, just the 1 on right side of tuner..

Oh wait, I was hoping this was the one he purchased a long time ago..
Thats the one that needs to be intercepted..

You better pack that beast in a thick MONSTER box with lots of soft padding to ensure it's safe arrival to Germany...Zippy is going to LOVE it

 

[Zippy]

Thank you so much! I'm really excited about this
It's going to be a great start into 2015!

Couldn't agree with you more What a great box to start the new year off with!

A big thumbs-up, Hans. Way to go with the shipping aid!

...and yes, it's a hell of a cool song from back in the day!

Nice work, Reli! Zippy should be pretty pleased when he gets it.

That video has inspired me to shake out my C-100 today - but it'll have to wait - it's only 5:55 a.m. here.
I'm not above blasting out the neighbors, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

Volume at 20 on a C-100 = Volume at 8 on anything else.

Reli is good people.
Congrats zippy! That's the only boomer you'll ever need!

Ah damn.....gonna need a custom box made. USPS to Germany cannot exceed 108 inches combined length plus girth. I am thinking 36x21x15, or 36x22x14. But nobody sells anything like that.

I guess it's "Dumpster Diving" time ...i do it all the time and find the best shipping boxes in the containers

But probably just single-walled crap

Actually...the boxes i get are so strong...you can stand on them on the edges/corners when they are opened up and built...when they are EMPTY before you even tape them up...that's what you need they are mega strong

i sent a box in a custom made plywood crate , all you need is padding inside but you can make the crate a bit bigger than the radio. you really only need 1/4 inch plywood and some 1x2 's . worked perfectly and the weight of the plywood was less than the weight of all the boxes and packing i would have needed and smaller too.

reli is a slam-dunk // flat-out great guy

 

[ford93]

That's awesome!

You are getting a minty fresh box Zippy and Reli wow you did a great deed indeed.

Imagine playing Eruption from Van Halen on that box.

 

[blu_fuz]

Microwave boxes.

Zippy, you are ringing in the new year in style EXTREMELY JEALOUS!
