My first Conion!!

Hey guys picked this up at lunch time. Anyone know if they made a gold Conion tc999? Before I get to cleaning. Thanks we'll test it it soon.

 

TC-999 are gold , just like that one, congrats.

 

Thanks. Cleaned up nice. Going to have to do something about those speaker rings. Not feeling the green. Lol.
Fired her up and right speakers worked barely any volume on left. This was at work. After cleaning and bringing her home it was the opposite. Left speakers worked. Well, I know they both work.. cuts out when I adjust anything or turn it up. So there's a loose connection somewhere. Should be fun. And cassette motors work just need belts.
This was the most expensive box yet.but not by much

 

Just the plating. Need to change the heading to : My first crusty Conion

 

Nice find .

 

Thanks. It cleaned up real nice, except for the speaker rings. Sounds great! My girl even asked how she can plug in her phone on this one. Was playing Talking Heads and my band Pink Floyd while making breakfast and cleaning

 

yellowed

 

Good find, these are the best looking Conion IMO. The gold rings can easily be removed for cleaning.

 

I'm starting to agree Reli. It looks great, sounds better. Big bass and the highs sound great. Play it all the the time,(daily) at quarter volume and the sound just fills the place. While is not a c100 I'm thrilled to own it. Big, golden, great sound and looks like the grail. Only half the wattage, but rarely do I get to blast my boxes. And it's rare.
Now if only someone knew the belt sizes...
