morning guys,another car boot another 2 buys for 20 quidsee these representative pics for what i got..........
and a gorgeous TOSHIBA RT 2500,that i simply cannot find a pic of anywhereso is it that rare?????its a 120 volt model,that i found out to my cost when i put a 240 power cord through it and blew the trannybut it still works on batteriesso alls not lost,and im neve going to use 120 volts anyway so it doesnt really matter to me
both are in really great condition,the sony is all working and the toshy needs new belts but thats not a problem....was at the carboot,with my mate and another mate called me saying "please tell me your at the carboot as there are 2 great boomboxes here"luckily i was but he had got to the boxes first and stuck his hand on them to stop them going
so once again keep your eyes peeled blokes because theyre still out there

Nice Sony TV box! Never seen it! I also never find something at carboots or flea markets... Except eggs and really crappy stuff with only "tone control" blgrrrr...

hi guys and thanks for the commentsas for the tv colour i believe its a colour one,not had it tuned into anything yet as the digital age has took over but i will try and hook it up to the digi box over the weekend-it works does the screen because it comes on without a picture just snow,but i think its coloured snowill try and find out sooner if i can-as for finding so many at the moment,all i can say is wowi used to pick up nothing,the car boots were bare up until the start of this year,not even crappy eggs were turning up,then all of a sudden they have started appearing again.....ok so theyre not m70s and the like but their not gf4646's either eh?i think they have finally took a back seat from cheesy up to date pop chart videos too though as ive not seen any in recent ones,which sughgests to me they might have possibly had their renewed 15 minutes of fame again?although idiotbay is still full of them at usual scandalous prices of course,but the influence in the media dropping of late might take the heat off pricing on idiot bay in the future a bit-instead of someone seeing a discolite in a video and thinking "ive got one a tiny bit like that....must be worth lots of money on idiotbay"when in reality its only a gf4646 might be finally over.....as for you brothers not finding them....your time will come,i promise you this
