Smaller Hitachi is after heavy reconstruction, here's bigger pic:

it's repainted (i left a piece of original colour over the tape counter), the grills are new, grill rings + bonus mirror sticker around them, mirror sticker around radio window and couple of other features.

We use these booms as often as possible,we take them to outdoor parties, festivals etc. Sometimes we connect 2 boxes together. Peoples reaction is always positive, everybody say like "gimme 5, or just "wow, what a nice radio":].
All 3 boxes are working well, but Aiwa... its completely amazing boombox, the sound is just perfect even if it's oldest one (made in 1978).
Greets from Vilnius, Lithuania.

Sweet collection you've got there.

Thanks, Eddy. I'm looking for another box and i found one strange local webpage, they sell some small and used agriculture machinery, but they have there section called "used goods for tourism and recreation". Look what are those goods:

Any comments about german Shmid SRR 747? I know, it's a bootleg of Sharp GF 777 and next simmilar models, but what's the sound quality and how big it is? What about HGS, or Gold Star?

The Shmid is a bad copy of the GF 777 .
I would not buy it.
The HGS looks a bit like a Rising but i did not hear from this brand before.
The Goldstar is a well built blaster that has a lot of AKA's and from what i hear is a pretty loud box.
I can recommend the Hitachi TRK 7620. Not quite the oldschool look but good sound. My brother had one like this

B.T.W., welcome to the Family Brigadier Vytas!!! You're gonna like it here!!! You've got some nice stuff My Man , but I'm also checkin' out the 1200's!!!

Cheers OSS

some very nice units there, Brigadier...units to be proud of and display at our forum and around you live..welcome to our forum, bro!!!

yo yo, добрый день товарищ

Thank u ,guys for such positivity! Eddy, thanks allot for your info. As i see from other sources too, this GoldStar is best choise for me. Just gorgeous example from so called "golden era", maybe that's why the Star is Golden . It's most expensive blaster on that webpage, but guys can offer nice discounts and my b-day is comming, so if my friends will ask "what do u want for your b-day?" i know the answer already . KBallenger, yes i spin vinyl and i'm doin it since ~2000. My girlfriend is djin also, but the thing is not so massive at all, we are maybe more vinyl collectors and enthusiasts, than very active DJs. I love independent hip-hop, reggae, some electronic stuff. My girlfriend is more into funk and disco-funk. I like mash-up style performance, i've recorded couple of mash-ups, i'm working now on couple of mixtapes. We say "real djs play vinyl" and we will always do so.
Metad ,yo:]

Big up, mates!

Brigadier, you're my kinda guy!!! Whenever you get a chance, come add your name to the list of DJ's in my: ARE THERE ANY DJ'S IN THE HOUSE, thread!!!
