Nice radio. Nearly, as nice as mine. Guy i got mine from, in germany, bought it new, put it on a cabinet, attached an aerial to the back, there it stayed, for 20+ years. He say`s, he never used the tape, only radio.

could have bought infact i did buy a brand new in the box one for £300 last year....but i told the seller to resell it....think it sold for over 2000$....they just don't float my boat

god radio raheem, how could you hehehe.

Bought a brand new jvc dp200 in the box kaboom instead for £150 ...mind you that doesn't get used ether still in the box haha

I'm new to this boombox thing, so i have a lot to learn.

So the story goes like this, On my 15th birthday, my parents got me a boombox, a Sanyo 9975 or something like that, and a pair of Sennheiser HD400 headphones, so that i didn't bother them when listening at home.

Now, this 20 year old guy, who's parents owned a convenience store where he worked to make a little money, had bought a JVC RC-M70, and i just thought it was the coolest, best looking radio i'd ever seen, and so i promised myself that i'd get one, one day.

Well, fast forward about 30 years, i finally honored that promise, a few days ago, while looking through the adds on a local website, i found an RC-M70, it's complete and everything works, beeing a vinyl record fan, i even tested the phono preamp, just in case i'd want to use one of my turntables with it. The only thing that i don't like about it, are the separate controls for the left and right channels, i find them a pain to match both sides evenly, also, i find that the volume is very sensitive, especially with my cd player, it's almost to the point that just looking at the volume controls, is enough for it to rise, oh well!, nothing's perfect i guess.

It's in good overall condition, no cracks, or anything, i'd rate it as a solid 8.5/10, i paid $225 for it, i don't think i've overpayed, given it's popularity, and condition. I'm not too computer savvy, but i will try to post some pics in the days to come.
