get this rare model Pioneer # SK808 from Henry Tai today --it survived the 2 month ocean trip --
it has the identical solid build and sound quality as the more famous SK900 model --

but with less doo-dads Smile

Ive never seen one from that angle before... I didnt know they were that large.

Very cool!

Now... how does it sound?

I guess you better box that back up and send that to me,because I'm very poor....... Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud

Smile skippy --
we can guess that 'back in the day' the poor rockers who could not afford the 900 --
would have still be happy to have/hear this lesser model

Nice catch on your "Thunderbird", or "Poor Man's Lincoln" Ira! Laugh Out Loud

Wow, looks super nice! What is the difference between this and 900?

redbenjoe - 2008-12-01 19:34

thanks vladi --
they are identical except the 900 has a very effective 6 slot equalizer and a rack of tape skip search buttons --

btw - this Pioneer series sounds GREAT - and is by ALL means a super high end box --thats missing from most collections-

and , far be it from me, to ever use this collections forum as a 'set-up' to sell any boxes Smile

but --all viewers here should save a big $$ plie of money for one of these --as i will be selling one --sometime soon.

If it's anything like the 900 (and it is), you really scored BIG. Rarer, too. Congratifications!
