D.I.S.C.O - Keep the lights on!

At Tuesday i got my personal grail.
I ever wanted an big Discolite.
No special label, only 2 points:
BIG
MANY LED´s
Big Grin

Last time at the flea i found the nice INTERNATIONAL i posted.
Nice, but too small. Roll Eyes

And while looking in the net i found something awesome for me.
An LEVIS 161 Jumbo with Discolite!
It should go to ebay, but i contacted the owner and told him to get it before.
So i drove to Graz (~170km outside Vienna) and there was it.
The seller (woman)was an owner of electronic store many years before. When she closed, she took the rest of his depot and stored it at home many years. This box was never played before.
She owns a lot of other new old stock electronics as well.
Now they needs the place otherwise.
A few pics:

Original box:


She bought this boxes in the mid-90´s.
So it came out after ~15years storage:


Playing with the big Disco: Big Grin



Thats all?
NO!
She has stored a lot of other boomboxes as well! Razz
Monos, Doubledecker-Stereos.... an an second Discolite! Eek
It´s a small doubledecker with detachabler speakers. Never heard of MEKOSONIC before.
No question, i must get it too. Big Grin

Also brandnew boxed:


Freedom! After long storage...


Look at the hooks for connecting.
Like out of an homeworker shop. Big Grin


The right box is littlebit rumblin'.
I must look why...


Come together:


The tower of disco-power: Big Grin



Lights off, Disco on: Smile


I think this will be my new christmas tree. Laugh Out Loud
The quality of this 90´s boxes is not very high. Look at the faking double slided equalizer, the cheap plastic, the faked 2nd VU-meter left at the Mekosonic.
But this fits to them.
Real discokids of the last period of boomboxing... Wink

vladi123456 - 2008-11-13 21:33

The tower of disco power looks super cool!! Big Grin

viennasound - 2008-11-14 00:26

Thanks friends, for the nice words! Smile
It was great luck to find them.
I also took 2 "new" oldies.

An speaking pyramide clock:


The voice is unbelieveable.
Like a cinese woman, who has eaten an frog! Laugh Out Loud
Typical for the first speaking electronics. Smile

Second was an old speakerset for carradio.
It fits perfectly to my 1996er LADA! Big Grin


Too sad, that the pictures can not imagine, how it looks, when all lights of the discotower are flashing.

The other new old electronic she stored, are also lovely.
Speaking calculators, translation machines (eastern languages), watches, hairdryers and many more.
Also mono boomers and little SEG doubledeckers.
All new old stock!
Will come next time to austrian ebay!

@börny: I send you PN later! Wink

viennasound - 2008-11-14 02:09

Some of them are avaiable this time!
All are new old stock.

Little walkmanlike mono:


Or doubledeckers SEG:


A few of them are now at ebay... Wink

@gluecifer: I´ve never heard an HyperBass, but the DiscoLite sounds nice. Not so powerful like high quality systems,but ok.

@toni: Most of the monos are looking like the one i posted above. I pn you the link to her. Smile

smokinendo - 2008-11-19 13:27

Hi Brian!
If you have seen it at austria ebay - yes! Roll Eyes
But it was only a few hours online, before it was taken out! Wink

The sound is quiet nice, but not compareable with an high quality boomer.
But it comes to Helix, Lasonic, Crown and other ones in this categorie. Smile
But it looks nicer! Razz

smokinendo - 2008-11-20 09:14

Na this on was in the US and now that I think about it I think it was a Cougar brand ? the guy had another box that didn't have the original packaging (maybe a TRC-975 ?) Anyway you are one lucky man Nod Yes really nice score congrats Roman !

Wooooo yeah! LEDs are awesome. We need more boxes with more LEDs!!! Everything should have more LEDs on it!

el.rojo.grande - 2008-11-28 19:00

This is truly an amazing collection!

gtastuntcrew302 - 2008-12-14 11:45

I WANTS ONE !!!! Frown

viennasound - 2008-12-15 09:40

Now i got a baby-disco too! Smile
It´s not a real boombox, it owns no tape.
Instead of it, there is a tiny rippled plexiglass with a 5 LED VUmeter inside.
Also 8 LEDs in the speakers.
The quality is ultracheap, but for 1 euro new in box - OK! Roll Eyes
Here a few pics of it:

Out of box:



Power on:
