I got this nice almost minty RC-M80 the other day. I have wanted this unit for a quite a while. I had a couple of RC-M60's and they are similar ,except for the tuner of course. You can scan stations or tune them with the small manual tuner knob. It has a excellent receiver on all bands including shortwave. I'm getting the tricky tapedeck sorted out and have it mostly working.
I think this unit wasn't used very much as it was super clean inside and out. It's also built like a tank, it is quite heavy. It think it sounds nice,but it has no Biphonic setting. I seems like it Biphonic built in though as the stereo effect is very good.

nice buy , skippy

how many full turns of the little tuning knob to travel the entire fm range ??

Thanks Floyd and Ira!
It takes about 4 1/2 to 5 turns turns to cover the entire dial. You can use the manual tuner for am and shortwave too.Ira..

Hey skippy real nice box, Did you get that from ebay. I was following this one a couple weeks ago and could not believe what it went for($10) even though last I checked it was over $50 http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-RC-M80...C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Nice JVC . By this time it was a high tech model.
Congrats.

Thanks Bill. yes I did get it from Ebay,but it is not the one you linked to. Here is the one I got. My RC-M80
I paid too much I guess,but I wanted a nice one.
I bought mine before I saw the one you showed,oh well someone got a good deal though.

Scott maybe if you need parts http://stereo2go.com/eve/forum...966054064/m/70210295

Thanks Bill!

Wow, very nice! How does it sound?? I'm surprised I'm the first to ask

It sounds nice and clear Vladi.
It's not a bass machine at all,just crisp and clean. and it has an awesome tuner.
The cassette deck operates similar to the M90.

i like these i dont know if i would ever part with mine.
it dosent sound overly fabulous but it does sound pretty nice.

100% Bill.
