Hello, I used to follow old forum and then put my stuff away in storage until now that I have space and time to enjoy the hobby. I sold most my old boomboxes but still have 3-4 left to restore. I also have 2 Aiwa recordings Walkmans that need restore as well. I am currently focused on attaining a National RX 7200 if anyone willing to part with one. Wishing everyone well.
Welcome back! Were you around when the original forum owner had a few NOS RX-7200's he was selling for around $600? That seemed like silly money in the early 2000's but it would have been a great investment now. Who nows, he might still have some if you can track him down.... That collection is amazing! In the old days I never knew all these cool boxes existed and there wasn't much information on the internet.
Yep it's ridiculous pricing now, but something I decided on. Only see Japan sources currently. I was around in 2012, so I dunno if I recall that.
I'm going this coming week to get all my boxes out of storage I'm not even shure what I have besides my National RX7000 & Sanyo 9994, which needing restoration. I used to light boxes up, but now I rather make things look more natural.
any posts about boomboxes are welcome dude as i am sick of seeing my own on here......welcome back mate
That Sanyo looks amazing, one of the coolest little boomers built, any more photos of it lit up? That would look great up on a bar shelve while sipping adult beverages and listening to music.
Yes, I have some pics. I had sold this unit in absolutely mint like new condition. Maybe the new owner may one day post. I kept a second one, same unit but more used, in my avatar. I sold off alot of really nice boxes. I do miss them , lol. I am ok with the few I still have.
It's too bad they didn't have better "mood" lighting on old boomers, they really pop with it. I picked up my M7880 on a late-night BIN for cheap and love it, it's hard to tell how small they are from the photos. While I'm running out of room, I bought another two boxes this week, one looks to be extra special but it hasn't come yet. I'll post when they show up.
