WORD ! !
Been waiting for this pic for some time ! ! !
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
And not a missing door or tray in sight ! ! !
GOOD GOD!!!!!!!!
I didn't even know Conion made that many C100F's!
In a word?
E P I C !
so thats why i cant find any
Gord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to count twice, and it's eighteen every time! Nice!!!
wow! i would love to see all those conions going at once,would look totally insane and cool,i feel like a bum with only one conion lol.
Thanks for the comments guys! I've been wanting to do a shot for quite sometime...however time and other issues weren't on my side.
I would like to take this time to publicly thank Jens (*TPR*) for helping me make this picture and thread happen...and for letting me re-join S2G once again for a second time around. Jens you are the BEST

gordie man that has to be a record ,18 complete working c100's in one place all owned by the same dude ,now that is a record to me.
Thanks floyd, i owe you also for the tech advise that you gave me this week...to be able to have the GUTS to take apart my Conions and change trim pieces, and to clean them all up. They look much nicer in person
For newer members that don't remember me from before, i just want to let you know that i found most of these Conions in the wild and from my good contacts across north america...only 3 came from e-bay, and 1 of the 3 was from a member here!

Is that the famous gold conion on top?!?!!? Wow! That is truly amazing!
Johnny
tape doors itself must be like, 2 grand
HOLY SH!T!!! You'd have to go way back in the day to the Conion factory to find that many Conions in one place!
Yo, you most definitely stepped your game up after you stepped off 'cause I think you only had about half of what you have now...
I believe I've found some new wallpaper!
Thanks for posting!
WTF
U spent some ones on that conion collection! Are they all clairtones?

Thanks MONO...and if you use this as your wallpaper just to warn you...my 80's electron blue Adidas jacket is HARD on the eyes first thing in the morning when you start up your PC
jimski, I only have 4 Conions...2 that i found in my city (including the Gold C100) and the other 2 were shipped. I have one Helix that i purchased from S2G member johnnychillfactor (where are you BTW
) and the rest are all Clairtones
-gsbadbmr
Insane!
I might as well quit my search for a Conion/Clairtone/Helix. There's some sort of black hole vortex in Canada that seems to suck them all up there.
Haha! AMAZING pic Gordie!
Congratulations on excelling so excellently in pure excellence.
Rock On.
GORDIE are u canadian?? Clairtones seem to be xtremly abundent in Canada

Yes, i'm from good ol' Canada. I have some REALLY good contacts here in Canada...no need to mention their names they know who they are so this helped me a lot...they were lucky enough to find the Conions before me
. I actually had 3 more Clairtones but sold them this summer because i needed some quick cash when i purchased my new house
I'm content with what i have now in my collection

Excellent collection.When the boy grows up he's got money in the bank.
Wow!! The most I saw in one place till now was my brothers 2 he had a silver and gold back in the 80s.
Do you know of a band called "finger eleven" ?
Jut did some work for them , nice bunch of toronto based guys.

Ira...let me explain what this pic "almost" cost me:
1 - My marriage
2 - the top 2 rows and single Gold Conion on top
3 - my staircase walls
Apart from that...the pic was WELL, WELL worth it
Thanks for the comments Ira
-gsbadbmr
oh my...sweet
gordie --
we have this helpful photoshop member down in tennessee --
its Fatdog (sort of a quiet fellow)
you may never have heard of him -
but - if you send him a copy of this almost perfect picture --and tell him 'i sent ya'
he might be willing to help remove that clown off the front !!
on second view --forget that fatdog guy !!
with that super blue jacket --and YOU in the shot --it makes it the un-matchable CLASSIC --
like - even when some new member -- pops in with 38 conions :::
"cant touch this"

Nope...all 18 Conions are %100 complete...the only thing missing in that pic is a 19th Conion...coming soon
-gsbadbmr
Have they been hooked up all togheter playing at once, can u explain the sound if so.Technically it is about 400 watts
Extreme stuff. I was thinking of the total value of the gear in that pic................

Yeah, imagine - if the economy was in great shape - selling the silver Conions for $800 each + shipping on eBay. That's $12000 (of course, not including shipping). Sell the gold Conion
* for $1500... what the hell - $2000 'cause the chances of ever finding one bein' sold on eBay DO NOT exist... Simply put, that's a boatload of money!
EDIT: Whoa, I miscounted and discounted 2 silver Conions... Better make that $13600 for those.
* Not that I would ever sell the gold Conion. In fact, if I owned one and somethin' happened at my crib while I was here, that'll be the only box I grab on the way out!
Ever seen that US cable show, "Antiques Roadshow"? I'd love to see him wheel those into the showroom and have them appraised. One of us should be there as the experts. Hope you have some insurance on those babies.
Our member proudly presents: the god of conion c100f gsbadbmrWWWWwwwwoooooooowwwwWWWW Man, your pictures is unbelievable!!! Your collection is unbelievable!
