Almost didn't go

smokinendo - 2009-03-31 20:54

Woke up Saturday morning at about 7am to some heavy down pure and decided to go back to sleep, then around 9am I was asked by my wife to hit the market and grab some eggs so I stopped at the flea to see what I could find and....

skippy1969 - 2009-03-31 21:03

And......... what did you find Hmmmmm????? Tap Toes

smokinendo - 2009-03-31 21:20

I found that it was still drizzling and the five vendors who stuck it out were just waiting for there 11am rain-call/refund.


but wait.... in the distance just passed the Mr. Hotdog Cart. Who's that guy with the rickety folding table and what's that monstrosity facing away in the distance ? Eek

fatdog - 2009-03-31 21:38

Let me guess...

Yet another Conion C-100F?

smokinendo - 2009-03-31 21:42

Where's Ira and Valdi for a crazy story to go with this ? I want to hear what you guys think happened next ?

Fuzz, Baby Bomber, Petey, Roman, BP, Kid Sensation, Fatdog, Oldschool ? Where is everyone Leaving

this is no April Fools thread by the way but I'd like to make it fun Smile

redbenjoe - 2009-03-31 21:58

hey endo --
my guess is that hiding behind the hotdog cart --with a rickety table
was a strange dude --selling his grails --

and it was VLADI
!!!! Big Grin

Good Start ol' bird Laugh Out Loud The guy was about your age so in his mid 80's and excessively over weight. His table was a card table so probably 4'x4'...brown... with very few items atop it. One item in which I purchased that he and his wife pulled from the curbside garbage the night before

thafuzz - 2009-03-31 22:24

A Rising 20/20? Wink ( I was worried about you Bro. I haven't seen you posting lately)

redbenjoe - 2009-03-31 22:27

JVC #3090

smokinendo - 2009-03-31 22:33

jlf - 2009-04-01 11:15

Complete too.

So THATS what a cassette door looks like!

This find is right up there with openning King Tut's Tomb!!!! Nod Yes

master.z - 2009-04-01 11:17

Son of a B........ Eek

She'll be a looker with a little elbow grease.
Aerials and cassette tray intact, sweet!
Does it work?

smokinendo - 2009-04-01 12:07

I was using it 5 seconds after I got er in the house Smile original cord and all

there are a few issues with it but between the three that I have I can build two really nice units and still have a large lot of bits

It's got a nice crack in the tuner lens, the belts are snapped, some of the trim is coming off and will need new adhesive, It's not picking up the FM Stereo signal all that well, the spring from the cassette storage draw is popped or possiable broken ? The tuner lens lighting is out and it seems to be in record mode causing the red record LED to malfunction and some of the chrome guards are pitting but it's still my fav of the bunch. I found it locally paid a very nice price for it and can handle most if not all of the above mentioned so all things said and done I'm a super happy camper

here are a few of it after a mild cleaning(sorry for the bad lighting)






skippy1969 - 2009-04-01 14:01

Thanks Felix Wink

Check this out

picked it up this afternoon for $20

it's factory sealed and I think there are two sharp brand reels inside ? I want to open it but don't know what to do ? Any opinions ?







nak.d - 2009-04-02 14:34

Yes the top looks sealed...have you checked the bottom of the box? Hopefully this will also be sealed too...

smokinendo - 2009-04-02 15:05

sealed indeed Smile

thafuzz - 2009-04-02 21:32

Ooooohhhhhh..... sealed too! Whoah Mama Nod Yes

ghettogas - 2009-04-04 00:18

Is it the kind of Boombox you collect? If so open it and use it. If its not and your thinking of selling it keep it sealed.
