ok today i got yet another m90

it was on ebay and was just around the corner from me so i did the usual massage of buy it now offer but he said that he wanted to let it run due to the interest he was getting on it,i then asked if i could view it and he contacted me a couple of days later and invited me over to have a look

i got there and it was sitting on his kitchen table,it looked so clean and better than  the pictures on ebay,the alloy tuner trim was dented but that was the only mark on it and did't bother me as i had a replacement one,it just needed a good clean

i asked him were he got it and he did't want to tell me at first but after a cup of tea and a chat he opened up and told me.....he got it from cash converters in our local town for£40.....man i wanted to die! it's the same cash converters i always go in and not find anything at all!

anyway i picked it up this morning and spent all day minting it up....totally stripped it down,detailed clean,repainted the faded speakers and replaced the alloy trim

there is not a mark or scratch to be seen,not even wear marks on the corners and the chrome is spotless

£40 from a cash convertors, thats f@@king unbelievable.

It looks so clean mate, like brand new.

omg now your collection can boast a m360 if i count it right   anyway this one is a real beauty... well done Lee, despite the fact that, if you go on like this, you might be indicted of inside trading... 

Very Nice indeed! Just a thought but if cash converters sold it for £40 then the poor cash strapped sod that brought it in really got his pants pulled down on the price!

That's what I thought, cash convertors probably gave someone a tenner.

ditto^

From now on I will visit every cash converter I see!!!  For sure! Just amazing! Nice radio btw...

i might tone down the speakers.....does anyone think there to blue?

nothing wrong with 4 m90's, Lee knows if hes ever short of cash he go take these down cash convertors and get himself a nice £40

Nothing wrong with the blue mate, I think it looks the stunning

the m90 boombox never get's old !

Are you going to keep looking for more M90s? If so Mr VU may have some competition!! are the blue speakers replacements?

 the original speakers but repainted smeats

i'll give you 55 for it not a penny more

cash converters.. thats sickening,i always check my local one out.

good place to buy seperates..they seem to price everything around the same price

makes you feel sick andy,shame a collector never found it!

shows you even in this day and age - some monkeys DON'T know how to use the internet

40 pound is disgraceful - yet fair at the same time

it is only a second hand radio

I was in there the other day and a punter was walking round with  Iphone pricing stuff up

the blue looks great - but only you who sees it in the real can tell if they are 

'too blue'

unbelievable Lee, big congrats, and can i just add this for the woofs

I'll give you a penny more than 55

just cosmetic --

make sure you use a fabric spray --

as thats thin coat paint-

still -- best if you like it as is -

and leave it alone

--- (-for stereomads or any m90 )

thanks

Extreme security threat - your arcade will be invaded anytime.

Keeping 4 minty M90s to self is a crime.

I just like it !

I like it also for the reason that you appreciate

boomboxes and for being a great collector STEREOM90mad !

TRUE BLUE. One of my favorite tracks.

And the best of Madonna for me!

there's defo a lot of eye candy in the vid

.....I think yo slipped something into his "tea" and got this for a song

What a looker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Congrats Lee!!!!!!!!!

Feel bad for the person that more likely had his house, or apartment robbed. As it more likely stolen!! No way no one going to take the time to restore it and A. Not know the value and B. Then sell it for less then 40 pounds, around 10 pounds if that.

Don't worry it's not stolen, it's mint now as its me that restored it!
It was very well looked after and the case, chrome etc was unmarked but it needed a detailed clean, repainted speakers and grills and new alloy trim on tuner glass

Lee .....just admit you steal M90's from the unsuspecting collector

Let us try to steal it from Lee now. He has too many M90s that he will not notice, even if one or two are stolen

Hmmm if you can get though my many teenage boy proof locks I got on my boombox room door then by all means have a go lol

lol...you're not quite as trusting as me...my boxes are in the second living room where my son and his mates often hang out...but then I've not got four M90s!!

Left them in the house the other day and they accidentally set fire to the microwave and one of them passed out from smoke inhalation

think i might get a lock or two
