My thoughts about boomboxes

Not t o worry they are the same power sound etc, just the 990 is all logic controlled, these sound great if the eq is set up correctly think i have a couple of 990 Mr x

 

set the 100 hz slider to half and the sxbs on full......if the 100 hz slider is on full it cancels out the s xbs my friend....set the next one to minus 10, you can pretty much do what you want with the rest

it's a design flaw with these models and most make the same mistake lad

i bet you £20 you will now be impressed lol

 

Thank you, my friends!!! Until I get my own Lear-Jet I won't be able to take @Radio Raheem on his generous offer ........, but if I read @Reli info correct, you are in Norther California. I have to drive there once-in-a-while to visit the art dealer of my Boss (allois.com). If Telefunken is something rather compact, then I just Must Have it!!!!!!!! @Reli: PM me your ideas about an exchange: $$$ or if you have any interest in Discmans, I can get and fix just about any Discman you wish for the trade

What are the approximate dimensions of Telefunken Studio? I thought it is HUGE!!!

 

Jorge it's not too big. 25" long, 12" high.
If you come up, we'll arrange a boombox "meet" with another local collector whose collection is better than mine!
I sometimes go down to SoCal too. In fact about 10 collectors have been meeting in Venice every year. Not sure when the next one will be.

 

I will go with you
but wait for few months, Vaccine will get EUA in 4 weeks and I guess we can receive the vaccine in December.

 

Great!!! !!!

This I like about bboxes, as compared to Walkmans/Discmans: it is much more fun to have a meet around them

 

I doubt there will be a vaccine until Jan or Feb. And then only privileged people will get it first, like politicians and athletes, and medical workers of course. I don't believe the "average person" will get it until the summer, at best.

But that shouldn't discourage you from going anywhere. Just keep wearing a mask when you meet people. You go to stores and eat at restaurants, right? Going into someone's home is not any riskier. If it was, real estate sales would have dried up, but they've never been better.

 

Pfizer+Biontech vaccine will get emergency use authorization in one month, Moderna vaccine will follow in 6-8 weeks. In December vaccination will start with 20m dose of vaccine available for Certain groups. Astrazeneca vaccine got delayed in America but I think it will be ready by mid-January, Johnson and Johnson vaccine will be ready in spring 2021
Certain states will start the vaccination very quickly since they are already ready for the distribution of vaccine.

Now back to main topic, Please let me know your next Venice beach boombox gathering. I will pick up @Jorge to meet you guys there .

 

You are more optimistic than I am! The FDA said yesterday that it wants vaccine developers to submit two months of safety data before applying for emergency approval. Something that the orange-haired dipshit tried to cover up.

 

I like the Dt9 so much i have bought another lads, there must be two of everything lol

 

It sounds much better than the m90 Mr x i guess that is something in it's self.....Jorge will love it lads....the only problem with this, when you get into the top of the game 90% of radios aren't worth auditioning imho

 

Very True... But if you get a 'collector's gene' (as investigated in Collecting), then your fun never ends!

For no particular reason I just Had to buy and restore this twin-cassette Sharp:


I blame @Longman for this: once he learned about my predicament he sent Sharp GF-3700 my way. And pushed my preferences off National/Panas and JVC/Victor into uncharted territories

 

Sadly these panasonics are only available in japan, im lucky though there is a seller in Germany selling them but there not cheap at 500 euro and thats after knocking 300 of the price...balls to it here is the auction lol, he is also selling the dt 8 which is supposed to be nearly as good

the price is crazy but there asking more for an m70 which miserably failed my sound tests

the m90 is superb but there are better radios, the m90 is my fave though had plenty in my life for over 20 years, im also a big fan of the jvc pc 55

 

Looking at the items he still has listed that is quite a collection he is selling.
The RX-DT901 is different from any Panasonic I have ever seen, being more like a 1990s Sony with the cloth covered speakers.

 

he gets them from japan and then sells them lad....the price is crazy but then i have a friend that is looking to spend 3k on a bloody dog lol
