well it's been a bit quiet at the carboot this weekend - so on sunday was running around and saw a 90's sony, had a look and a bit rough, but then the guy says he has another in the car - oh yer ! so he grabs a cardboard box and say's "sorry it's not in this box" ?
"no it's bigger !" and put's his arm up to do the international sign for 80's ghetto blaster - arm up to shoulder like he's carrying some thing

he's either weak or it's big and heavy ?
he pulls out a JVC DC-7 and passes it to me - bloody hell it's heavy !
say's i can have it for £20
i look it over for a couple of minutes - it looks clean and well cared for

i say "will you take £15 for it - that way you won't have to take it back home again ? (this some times works as they don't like to take big and heavy things back home and would rather sell it when they can)

yup £15 piad for it

got it home and it all works - here's the pic's (along with a sanyo mini to show size - love the mini's )



















(i have a mate that is hopefully saving me a couple of boxes including a V2000)

cheers B

wooow Bendy, i like that dc-7, first time seen such a good pics from.
Congrats man, nice score, and for goooood price.

Those both look like they have been kept in great shape!!
Yeah Yerrrrrrrrrrr

The Dc7 is more of a rare beast compared to the Dc33L..i`ve seen a couple of DC7 on the markets,one belonged to a stall owner,and it was`nt for sale,and another that i saw,he wanted £50 for it..congrats on that box our bendy...

Very nice score Bendy! A very worthy addition to your collection.



Rock On.

i guess i was just in the right place at the right time - big boxes don't tend to crop up offten at the carboots as most dealer know there money and put them straight on to ebay

and it was nice that this one was clean and working

hi there madclout and welcome aboard bro

Excuse my ignorance!!!
What are carboots?
And what would you say you paid for them in dollars?
Thanks

carboots are yardsales

empty carpark or field - open up the back of your car up - table or cloth on the floor and sell you unwanted goods also find good stuff to buy

most of the boxes i pick up are about £5 = $8- ish

i paid £15 for the JVC DC-7 which is about $25


cheers B

Dam nice find Bendycat. How does it sound? Looks impressive!!

doesn't sound too bad - best with i-pod

records has the crackle and pop's - can go loud
but does lack a 3-5 band for best sound

i like it - but bloody heavy on the sholder

Fleas with drive-in

Congrats to the box.
Pretty one!

feels more like a drive b(u)y sometimes

Hi Bendycat that is a real nice boomer and in really good condition. and posting the JVC on a board i go back to the oldschool..........boomer's, board's, B.M.X's and babe's

yup yer right there just got to add BEER, BBQ's and a POOL

cheers mate

Very nice, Bendycat! What a score!
I too have wonder what "carboots" were and now I know. Wasn't hard to figure out though, I suspected it was equivilent to our swap meets (or flea markets). Some of my favorite places to find stuff. You have been quite lucky though, you turn up good stuff just about every weekend!

i guess it's in the blood of hunting and collecting - i get a buzz looking for stuff and finding just the right thing

i do think that the word of ghetto blaster and boom box hasn't got out to all yet as money makers like old bmx's have - can't find many of those around at the mo

this cat likes to hunt

nice score bendy, that's always been my favorite looking turntable box. don't see them much...
