Here's a new one on me. Ugly as sin but check those meters.



Found here.

Wow.....Now THAT'S the proper way to do things. No silly little button to change the meter function.

I think they copied the JVC RC-838 when they designed that box. The type of woofer grilles, the meters, and the 3 LED's in-between them are definate design similarities.

WOW, nice box man

It looks like it was pretty big,
how is the quality of sound?

There is another one with different name what I found with searching on the net.

Check out that small-ass handle tho - only big enough for one hand.

I don't like the look of this box. The 838 looks waaaaaay better!

ye i gotta agree with mono on this one, personally i think it,s a bad attempt at making a boombox, i think who ever designed it should of been sacked , if you can,t compete with the big brand names, don,t bother.
and them 4 needles don,t make up for the pure ugliness of this box

Well I'd swap my 838 for it with no hesitation. I love meters.....The more the better. And the 838 is a horrible sounding box anyway, so this one could only be better

I love the looks of the 838.

My 838 doesn't sound good. In fact, it hardly ever gets played. I just look at it and admire it's beauty!

I have a Bereste 004 and has a very nice sound.

Mine doesn't sound bad at all in stereo mode (those other 2 sound enhancement modes are kinda lame).

Besides, I've got worse sounding boxes than the 838... My TOYOTA for instance.

hey mono!! what,s happened to your avvy?? the other one was way cooler

Might that be the same TOYOTA that is a re-badge of the GF-777?

Technically, it's the Sharp GF-909 (or is it the 919?), but yeah.

I like to switch 'em up every now and then... I might switch it back.

I hope it's a mini... He'll need at least another 5 years before he'll be able to carry that Super Jumbo.

Kids and boxes... I always marvel at those size comparison pictures!

What a strange dial. 66-74 MHz FM?! I've never seen or heard of that.
6-12 MHz then 6-6.2, 7-7.3, 9.5-9.75,and 11.7-12.1 on four more separate bands. Very strange indeed.

I love the old style meters too. They look like the ones that used to be on the old quad tape decks.
