well guys you all know how much i love the d8614 so this comes as no surprise lol....i got another today

this one comes curtesy of member Bison as iv'e done a swap for my tosh8900. Bison was kind enough to post this out to me and then have a courier pick the tosh up in a few days free of charge to me

anyway she's fully working and in good condition, all i had to do was open her up to clean the woofers and get the shine back on the caps.

here's a couple of lazy shots, the second pic is a pic of my 2 8614's in sync on shelves in my front room, thanks for looking

wow you really Lav this box! great sound and undoubtedly stilish

Nice one!

Now when you think you're seeing double you actually will be...next time you have a few too many beers you'll be seeing four of them

thanks Samovar

ha ha, good excuse to have a few beers then if i'm going to be seeing four of em lol

Congrats LAV, get as many as you can. this reminds me of Matrixambience and his RX-5050's, I think he ended up with ten.

thanks Retro, i have'nt got room for ten but if i did then......

what number is your house lav...8614?

ha ha yeah it's flat D, number 8614 Andy

after going inside this one Si i'm beggining to wonder what i see in them??

great swap!

Bison is a nice guy!

Now i wont have a philips d 8614 in my collection.

Lav has it all !

cheers guys

That's very important. With the clear shining caps at the center, I feel that the sound is crisper!!

Still remember the news paper ads from Philips, introducing this model as the Sound Machine.

Congrats on your d8614 no 2 azz, they sure look good on your shelves

ha ha cheers bro, love the pic in your avvy

she is looking good brother,and what a new avi

top banana buddy

great stuff my friend

cheers mate as always

lav check your pm"s

nothing there Chris?

Congrats on another D8614!!! I've noticed the plastic is nice and clear on your LED display mine's somewhat yellowed/opaque but not scratched, thinking it might be dirt/nicotine stained but inside. Are these boomers easy to take apart and is there anything I need to watchout for. Thanks in advance.

thanks Mark, iv'e only ever gone inside to take out the woofers to clean which are vey easy to do. 

iv'e never done belts ect but from what i can see it looks an easy box to play with

one thing to watch out for is if you take out the woofers then watch the wire which is attached to the tweeters, it's very thin wire and is easily broken as it's happened to me twice

If your front room was smaller and if you still had? your Philips D8514. 

Would you consider showing a pair of of Philips D8514 's ?

or is Your front room so big that a smaller box would be lost in it?

I have a Philips D8614 with the broken gear for the Motorized pushbutton cassette controls

Have you ever been inside of the D8514 when you had yours?

i live in a flat as it happens and the front room is quiet small.

to be honest i don't think i would display 2 8514's, their cheaper looking than the 8614's.

i would however have another one though no question.

never went inside the 8514 i had
