JVC Transformer style - boot buy

Was at the carboot and not finding much and was walking the lines and i looked over to this old man unloading a trailer and he puts up the big looking box - walked over, well nearly ran but didn't want the other dealers seeing me finding it (i'm trying to keep it under my coat, as what i'm collecting - as the other dealers picked up that the bmx's that i was getting can be worth money and so are stopping me from getting them - and i don't want to let this happen with boxes)
well it turns out to be a JVC PC-R11 - picked it up an it weights a ton Eek(11.4kg WB)
Asked the guy if it all works and he said yes Wink "so what price are you looking for it ?" i ask - "£5" he say's
Well that sounded good enough for me - so i put it straight in the back of the car and under cover Wink

well i'm just about to photo it and i notice the bracket on the side after the speakers are off - a this point i know the handle comes off - so i undo the screws which hold on the speakers and to my surprise it comes apart to be a two piece that you can put side to side for a hi-fi look or put all back together to be a ghetto blaster Cool
The back has a cover to tuck all the wires away - all looks clean and works Cool great sound out of it

here's the pics - let me know what you think Wink









































cheers B Wink

That's just a beauty!! Look at the design and the craftsmanship! To my mind, JVC have been on top of this game for a very long time. I am not a collector but if a JVC comes up at the right price I think I'll have to indulge.

I remember my cousin had a three piecer like this; it was either JVC or Hitachi. Am I right in saything that these are generally a lot louder the the one piece units?

Nice one Bendy, you got another awesome deal there man.I never used to be much of a 3 piece fan, but I'd never let stuff like this pass me by.

Man, the carboot sales round your way throw up loads of cool boxes, more than can be said for Birmingham and surrounding areas . . . . . maybe this weekend will be different round my way Smile

Thanks G-man, but if I'm honest that particular ride met its rusty grave a while ago Frown
Got my hands full now with old vDubs.

But as S2G is my witness, I will terrorise the streets of the UK once again with another mk2 . . . . Big Grin
