Last weekend i found 3 nice boxes at the big flea.
Good luck, my friend Patrick was with me to carry it home.
First i found was this big STARLINE:
He wanted 50euros. The condition is quiet ok, only the record button looks to be broken...
This time it was able to test at power connection. So i could get sure not to take a wreck home. For 40 i took it.
I like the look of it
But it will need some work to make it pretty as it was
If i can´t repair the right deck i will put in a MP3 connection.
Label:
Then Patrick told me, he had seen something blastifico behind a big television.
It was a nice find.
So i took out this LEVIS for 10euros:
The strange stickers at the tapedoors must be from an other modern box. I will remove them soon
The tapebuttons ok, they are only pressed from the transport.
It´s in pretty nice condition
At home plugging in... why 4 cables at the speakers.
Heeeey, this is a DISCOLITE!
But this one is other than my other boxes.
The LEDs flashes with the VU-Meter.
So you must play loud to get the fully look.
So my "Discotree" can grow up.
Label:
Finally i found for 7euros this nice SOUNDMASTER:
Dirty, but in good condition. Fully working
Including a tape with croatian music.
So my first boombox (also a SOUNDMASTER ) has become a sister.
First test in front of our train:
Label:
So let´s come together:
3 different types of boxes, but all doubledeckers:
I think the best (price/quality) shot was the DISCOLITE!
Or?
What you think...
It,s beautiful, just the thing.
You just save them.
Congrats roman.
How do find such nice bbx at the fleas. The sound master which is just like my emerson to a t, its hard to believe it takes only 4 d cells. You mention your 1st sound master , I would like to see pics of it
Roman, you never cease to amaze us with your rare and unusual finds.
Keep up the great work.
Roman the Boomboxtreasurehunter from vienna, nice finds like allways
.
SWEET SCORE ROMAN ! ! ! ! Your running the show with the disco's huh.... And that Starline is a variation of the Tecsonic MX-900 (one of my favs) I'll bet it's really load but lacks the lower bass ? My gold one is obnoxious load with a wall behind it. Great haul bro ! Can't believe that disco for 10euros is crazy
Thanks boys!
@Smokin: The bass of it is a littlebit weak. The balance-regulator does´nt work. Both play at same volume. Must look why...
@BB: This was my first love. SOUNDMASTER, bought at "LÖWA" discount, 20.10.1988, till today in great condition. I always took care of it.
Love your work Roman, excellent pick ups very worthy of your collection.
Rock On.
Like that Starline... Classic piece there!
Congratulations.
WOW, I love that Starline!!
Nice find!
wow was not expecting it to look this way

A few more pics for you, bill.
The silver one is very clean now, but the twilight makes it looking like dirty...
In the 90´s a friend want to buy it from me.
But after the disco he had no money.
Very good luck, when i think so now...
You should never give your first stereo away!
wow those are great finds the whole thing is that some of those boxes end up in the trash
people dont realize what they are worth most of the time they probably think its just a hunk of old plastic, so its is a great job finding and buying to save from total destruction good work vienna
