Nice collection of minis Scott! I wonder where you got the Panny RX-5180 from??? Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
Love that Hitachi mini. That has to be very rare.
Thanks Ash! I think it is rare,I've only seen a couple of them. I even have the original owners manual and ac adapter.
looking very cool there
i do like my mini's and you have some great one's there
i missed out one of those fisher's on ebay
shame as they do look sweet
that red sanyo is way cool
Which one do you like best for sound?
Great stash of minis, I see you have an eye for the better ones. Some manufacturers saw the mini as an excuse for reducing the number of features but the above units are the ones with those features still onboard i.e. tweeters, counters, VUs etc. Aiwa & Sanyo were the kings of the mini in my view.
I could use that fisher

I think I like the sound of the Panny RX-D30 . It has separate bass and treble and ambience.

Thanks Agent.
I agree,I think Sanyo and Aiwa were at the top of their game in the Mini boomers.
The Panny RX-D30 is a very very quality unit too
It sounds great and it is built like a brick. It weighs 9 lbs. with out batteries and cost about $420.00 U.S. back in the day. That is crazy money for a mini.
I've got one of those Yorx but mine's a Kreisler.
top collection.
well collected.
love sanyo.
great collection dude !!! I can't seem to find any mini at my local sale's
Thanks everyone.
Very Very nice.Something to be proud of.

The kangaroo is great. When I was a kid I almost bought that model, but held out for a larger box.

Does the cream Panasonic RX-D30 have bass and treble controls? The Hitachi looks amazing.

Yes the Panny and the Hitachi both have separate bass and treble.
Thanks everyone.
I've always had a soft spot for the 'slimline' boxes, I have a few: Sharp QT27 (my first), Sharp WQ-274 (has 4 band eq), Roberts RSR50 (very solid build and heavy), Triumph SRR1500, Triumph SRR3000 & Philips D8112 (IMO sophisticated looking).
Sanyo M7770K is my absolute Favorite - [has the best overall sound & Power ] !!!
[most feature's, connections - in's out's, stereo-wide, metal, music-search]
{only lacking seprate bass & treble control}-{has tone only}
Always has fresh 6 c-cell batteries in it - Ready to grab an go,
as I regularly take this to the laundrymat.
my Sanyo M7740K is similar to your Sanyo M7755
my Sanyo M-w15F is similar to your Sanyo MW800
of I which I have one in Black.
I have a Hitachi TRK-6700H too.
i see a couple that look familiar

I'll bet.........
I've got that Hitachi: a quality effort, for sure. Loads of nice toys & enormously OTT tweeterage
This one is a good example of just how pointless piezo tweeters are on boomboxes...
I do not sleep that well anymore since I see that nice fisher radio
just got an aiwa cs230k, im maroon. love these minis.still has original instruction book. fiver paid.really good nick. only let down is the speakers lead you to believe the sound is better than it really is. still it doesnt sound too bad i guess.
