how many of you guys have got more than one of your fave box??
i was just thinking back to when i first started collecting and got my first box my philips d8614, it,s the box in my avvy for anyone that is,nt familiar with it.
after falling in love with it literally
i decided i was going to get as many of them as i could.
it was only time that saved me after doing all the research and finding out that there is literally hundreds of different boxes out there to choose and get, otherwise i would have had as many d8614,s as poss
anyway i just wandered how many of you guys have 2 or 3 or even more of your fave boxes
I was dreading a post like this
I had a spare for every box i had, for spares.
that must,nt of been easy to do LITFAN
but i can see the reason behind this
having a spare for every box makes good sense

i have 2 crown sz5100 have had 3 over the years
I have 5 JVC RC-M70's. 1 original and 4 customs. I am looking to add more of them to my collection. It is the absolute favorite box from my childhood. I will probably stop around 10...maybe...
I had the whole 777 sharp family....but sold almost all of them
...that was like 6 of the same..but with different schemes and features..

I have more than one of my fave boxes..5 GF575,4-GF9500,3-GF8989,2-GF999,2-GF9000,3-GF500,3-GF990,4-Jvc Pc5,2-Pc55,2-Crown SZ5100..i have all these because these are the ones i most remember when i was young,some of them dont sound the best and not worth alot,but they were my most wanted so i was'nt really bothered,i just had to have them for sentimentals,because there is a story behind all of these boxes i love the most..The only people that will understand me,is the people that have a simular reason to having so many the same,others that dont understand will think i'm either crazy or greedy..
I have two RX-5350's, a Sharp Gf-909 and 999.
thanks guys now i know i was,nt going insane by wanting lots of d8614,s

I got two d8614's too, and two philips ART 20 (portable radio-cassette-black-and-white-television) and two panasonic TR 1200-S , wich are also portable radio-tv-cassette's. My favorite radio is the Sony cfs88l, if i find a second one i will surely buy it.. and a third.. and a fourth...

Here's the proof:

And this is the panasonic. Unfortunatly his "brother" is in the attic, and he's just too heavy to carry around.. so i cant show them together in one pic..
hey good stuff RICHARD
nice to see another d8614 fan around here

When i was about 13, 14 years old, i saw a picture of it in a little philips brochure, and i immediatly fell in love with it. Months later i found one in a store, and i asked the guy if i could listen to it (at it? pardon me english... i'm dutch..) I was completely stunned by the sound quality. Most portables at that time (around 1982) couldn't stand in its shadow.. Here in holland they're easy to get, there are a lot of them still around.
yes the sound quality is awesome on them, if their easy to pick up in holland then i may have to visit there
by the way, your english is great
i used to have these.
Love the build quality and sound on the 490 and 492's, they are just too heavy. Very impressive Driptip...
I have 2 x Crown 5100 and 2 x Pioneer SK-353.
Wasn't 'intentional' as such, just they came up at irresistable prices so it just had to be done

If only international shipping wasn't so ridiculously expensive, i could send you a few 8614's, lav..
Btw do you know the 8623? It looks exactly the same, but in stead of fm, mw, lw, and sw reception it has fm, mw, and 2x sw reception.
Here's a link to a dutch marketsite:
http://link.marktplaats.nl/369646426As you can se, they only ask about 10 to 15 euro's for it. The cassettedeck isn't 100%, though.
i never knew of the 8623 RICHARD
and 15 euros
that,s unbelievable, man your lucky living in holland
thanks for the link too
