Today i was at a guy next vienna who collects transistor radios. He has a collection from about over thousand (yes, 1000 !!!) trannys! From the 50´s till today.
He has offerted a nice little PHILIPS in the net.
So i took it, changed against a old nonworking GRUNDIG ocean boy for his collection.
I love this babybox, because it owns Spatial Stereo like the big ones. And the Grundig was´nt interesting for my collection.
And that´s it:

The condition is very good


But then i´ve seen something interesting.
An old PIONEER boombox.
Never seen such one before.
The speakergrills missing and the tapedeck is damaged. Play is blocked, so the motor is always running. So i found it:

This box is heavy, loud and quiet old.


Digital display with clock, counter, sleeptimer and many more....


One for TPR:


Look at the microphones in the grip!


Father and son:


Comparing size with the 931i:


The changing object for the baby PHILIPS:



Does anybody own such PIONEER?
It looks like, it has owned a titlesearch function like SHARP´s APLD?
Anybody a picture how it looks like with the original speaker grills?
When i have time, i will open it and try to repair the tapedeck, if it is possible.

You've got a special Pioneer there. I only saw those in Europe! Lucky You!

Thats a real cool looking pioneer,congrats man !

I hope you don't hurt yourself lugging that monster philips around.


Just joking, that little Philips is pretty cool but I agree with others that the Pioneer is really nice.

yup, that is a nice miniboombox!

Very cool stuff! Gee,i wish i would have known about your non working ocean boy i have 2 awesome radios. Congrats on The phillips neat little radio.

Hi-That's so cool!
I have the same mini-boombox except it's a Magnavox but I don't have the cool strap that you have.
Nice collection-thanks.
Have a great weekend-Ghettoboom777.

that pioneer is very nice.
the little one is nice too.
also the grundig radio is awesome. i love those old grudigs. i have a 210 satellit

great looking boxes especialy the pioneer sk-61 probably need the belts great find

Thanks friends!
I think it will be much difficoult to get the tapedeck working. I don´t know what people do with their electronics?
The songsearching-button must be pushed so strong, that it broke and fell inside...
A lot of dirt inside too.
The biggest problem will be the missing speakergrills.
Maybe TPR can help me how it looked original?
OK, it looks without nice too...

@ghettoboom: PHILIPS and MAGNAVOX is the same, we know. Today i have seen: The strap is not original. It´s off an MINOLTA camera!
But it fits perfect, so nobody will see the difference.

@billpc,jaredscott: I have stored this GRUNDIG over 15 years. But so it was a good deal. I wanted the babybox and he became the OceanBoy for his collection. Everybodys happy so.

@masterblaster: i think i need help for carrying...

both are very nice, congratulations!

Thanks for the info!
I will look for some bars to rebuilt them.
And in black the cloth looks better.
