And this is Monday's Ebay purchase collected last night. Sony FH-818R. Needs a good clean but in very nice condition underneath. No deep scratches or dented speaker grills. I've been looking for a decent one of these as I already have the FH-909. Very luckily this one was less than three miles from my home and on the same road as one of my friends so I visited them too. Tape B not working and Tape A working but with very dull sound. Will hopefully be a lot better when I clean all the dust out!
Yes T-ster, it's complete and the seller had put batteries in. The radio worked and the cassette was spinning too, though I've not put in a cassette yet as it's full of dust. Interesting little thing but quite basic, the radio did sound nice and had clean reception. Also picked up a Panasonic "Cobra", which is in the car so i'll post a pic later. It was £2 so may or may not work but looked ok generally.
Here's the Panny Cobra and also the body of a JVC mini component system i also snagged today. Two parts here with the side brackets but no speakers or handle. Lastly, a new pair of old Sony MDR-A34 headphones.
After searching since last Autumn I've finally managed to buy this remote for my Sony FH-909 which had been listed on Ebay. So pleased people think to do that with random remote's they come across. It cost me nearly 150% more than the FH-909 did but I got the system for only ten pounds Extra happy day for me! Still need the handle and brackets for the speakers if anyone can assist.
Didn't update last week as my finds were more hifi seperates than boxes, Walkmans or Discmans but this week brought a real heavy monster in the form of this Panny RX-DT707. Tapes are slow and muffled but rest is spot on bar missing aerial. Couple of dents in grills which i will attack another day when I'm less tired. This thing is long!
Damn, thats a cool find!. I know they are 90's boxes and they dont always get a lot of love but i haven't had a cobra top which didn't sound awesome, I have a nice minty DT75 at the mo and i love it.
Wow, just looked at a pic of a DT-75 and it's even bigger! Must weigh a ton! They do have a nice sound. Does it have logic Cassette? Mine doesn't and I think it would have been better for it as overall, it does have a quality look to it. I quite like the matt grey colour as a change from the normal black of the 90's unit.
