I didnt know what to expect when i was told i was getting it although i knew it was a big one.....she arrived on friday dy DHL.....i use these for collections as they are really good on price and cheaper than snail mail......i opened the door to find 2 large cardboard boxes waiting patiently to be carried inside......so in they went and out came the knife to cut the parcel tape.........well packed in newspaper balls i lifted them out......the mrs said what the hell is it....i then unclipped the flight cases and revealed her to the family.....oh my god said the missus........thats hideous.......i then told her it was 30 years old and to leave the room immedietly. at which point she did......i tried her out with the microphone as the PA system. all fine.....she`s probably 90% mint........everything works fine.....put her back in the flight cases and up to the loft she goes........

Thats a beast dave,and rare,it was peppin that brought these to the world a few years ago,that could be one of them,was that the one that was selling on ebay uk last week ? looks bigger than the avarage box,how does it kick ? i suspect its loud and bassy..how many battery's ? 10-Ds ?

Hi paul........yes ebay last week...biggest box i own but technically not a Blaster....cos its in 4 seperate peices and is loud....it does take 10 D`s and a 12 volt supply as well which is handy for when your in the middle of a feild camping.....its great as a P A system cos i can shout at my 17 year old and tell him to turn his music down HAHA......

congratulations --
i hope you use and enjoy it very often -
the sound is oustanding and more solid
than any boombox we know of

Very nice radio, would like to have one someday myself. It gets high regards amongst collectors for amazing sound!

Welcome to a very exclusive club davebush. I have had mine about 2 years and it keeps me company on my workshop bench all the time. Looks,size and sound knocks out any visitors. Hope ypu get as much enjoyment from yours as I do from mine.

well done dave, mate!hows the vz2k coming on?

Hi Andy....not really touched the VZ yet.....its in the "awaiting repairs" section in the loft.........
