my little one with 3 of his favorites.....he will be fixing these when i retire to keep them alive....haha, knowing my luck the 1st chance he gets they will be on ebay to fund his new car hobby
have all 3 but no [ little one ]
and of these 3 my favorite is the WX-1 Toshiba then the Aiwa and far far last the sony
How do those Toshibas sound? Not a real big fan of 3 piecer's but I would definitely consider that one..
WELL ONLY GOT IT THIS WEEK AND NOT HAD A LOT OF TIME TO CHECK IT OUT.....I DID TURN THE RADIO ON FOR 2 MINUTES AND AT 1ST IMPRESSIONS I THINK IT LOOKS BETTER THAN IT SOUNDS................I KNOW IT WANTS SOME MAINTENANCE ON THE CASSETTES AND POTS SO IT WILL JUST HAVE TO GO IN THE QUE .....AM BUSY WORKING ON A TRC 931 AT THE MOMENT.......IVE BEEN CASTING SOME LITTLE COGS OUT OF 2 PACK RESIN......THEY ARE FOR THE BAND SELECTOR AND FUNCTION SWITCHES....THESE ARE THE ONES THAT ALWAYS BREAK IN HALF..........................
You might want to sell some if it works...
My favorite BBX is the one that you see right here, the Realistic SCR-2. It still travels with me today!!!
My favorite of all time is Pioneer's SK-95, I'm on the market for one, and for a Realistic SCR-1!!!
'NUFF SAID
The Panasonic RX-CT800.
Great pic Davebush!
I think I don't have a favourite one.If that one was to be found I guess I stoped my hunting.I like every one for a different reason. And I keep it like favourite for a while till anoyher one takes its place(new entry or for other reason).
At this time my fav is the JVC rc 838.
And some of the reasons are:
-very good built quality
-I like the way it looks
-The tuner is fantastic with its very sensitive reception-the mobile phone doesn't influence it at all when in use even at a 2 inches of distance -for others I have to keep a considerable distance
-sounds very good
-the VU-s are showing the record level when recording(the record quality on tapes is very good) and the power level when playing and they are very accurate and it's a pleasure to watch them working.
Sorry for my long post.
My Favorite box is still, and will forever be the C-100

really? I've heard those are nice units. How does it compare to the kaboom and the DT680?
My favourite is my minty Sharp GF-777Z.
Without getting into the plusses & minuses of all my boxes, my immediate response would be the JVC M70; obviously a product of much thought and time by JVC and really a box I'd recommend to anyone without hesitation.
The sound really is something incredible even on my somewhat 'below par' example! Build quality is exemplary with the exception of those nasty sliders and looks-wise it just sets the standard of 'classic' boomboxes.

First off, the C-100 is esthetically 50X nicer to look at than the dull/boring Kaboom and the dull/boring DT680...both of which have the "cd" & the digital display which isn't old skool enough for me. They both have no fancy lights or chrome "bling" nor no "street cred" which is what i personally like about the C-100
With that being said, for sheer mass volume, the C-100 will easily over power the Kaboom & DT680. The DT680 is one of the BEST sounding units out there with a warm rich sound...the big Kabooms have amazing bass but IMHO that's about it...which is why i sold all of mine. I personally like the sound of the smaller Kabooms better than the big ones
I have 31 C-100's...some sound better/louder than others but for the most part they ALL have incredible sound. Others will disagree but once you know how to set your C-100 controls...watch out...they are mega powerul and are very loud...and IMO well built! The C-100 is one of the few boxes that i take outside with me when i hit the streets...i also like the J-1 Jumbo

You sold me! I now need a c-100! Oldskool did an excellent write-up on this box some time ago.
My Crown 850.....easily the best-looking 1-piece in my biased opinion
Favorite honors goes to an early high end unit - the Sony CF-580. They're not big and bad, but build quality is amazing and it's unusual matrix speaker system gives true "wide" sound.
There were not many bbx's that could out perform this Sony back in 1976.
My favourite one this days:
PHILIPS
^ Those D8734's are huge, and definately impressive to look at. I've had the good fortune of seeing one in person, and the misfortune of stupidly turning it dowm. To this day, I wish I'd took it home with me.
aha, one of the "James Bond" boomers. This one from A View To A Kill...
gsbadbmr,
You say the the C-100 is your favourite box but I must say that your avtar doesn't give us any clue about this at all.
