what do you say to this jewel Rising 20 20 optically very well :-) the one foot is probably damaged but otherwise it is ok, the two antennas are missing too, but I will fix that, he sounded a real hot

very cool unit a friend of mine has one and it sounds terrific. however it is slightly different in aspect -- although not in size. i am pretty sure that it is a rising 20/20 so maybe is just another version. which version is yours?

great boxes these Jens, i had one years back and sound is great, the only problem with these boxes is the feet always seem to be broken

mine was also broken and iv'e seen a lot of these with the same issue.

still a great all round box, congrats

love the look of the 20 20,

wishlist box for me

i'll try to snatch my friend's although i don't think i have real chances. meanwhile i've found out that his is the OPS version whereas yours is the ALC --if only i knew what does it mean  by the way he said that the feet of his 20/20 are perfect, but the tape deck keys are slightly misplaced 

I always loved the look of the rising 20/20, from the handles, the LEDs and the all silver look.....i had one once a few years back....but i unfortunately sold it...they have many variations of this box and from different brand names.....i think someone here has or had a few of them

Bison, if you lived in the US you'd be in luck....

It doesn't look all that bad but the seller will not ship internationally

you never can say. ask him if he is willing to make an exception. i have done so a few times and i have been surprisingly successful 

^^thanks for the heads up brutus,

i will find one,i think germany is favourite

samovar check this ebayde auction for an ops version,

it looks minty on the picshttp://www.ebay.de/itm/Riesiger-Ghettoblaster-Rising-SRC-2005-Boombox-Kassettenrecorder-Top-/251161644246?pt=Radios_Recorder&hash=item3a7a668cd6

wow it's stunning! thanks bison but with 9 days to go i'm afraid that the price will be RISING dramatically...   

got to say i like that version better, it does'nt have them pointless big chrome bars on the front

i like the bullbars lav especially on deck keys..forward thinking protecting ya boomer

prevention is better than cure 

So I find the sound very good indeed, I would not have thought

Truer words have never been spoken...especially with 30/ 40 year old electronics!
