I know it may seem like a boring thread but after geting my cool little AKAI mono and considering what JVC has to offer I am now super curious as to what other mono muscle is out there!!!! Pictures please!!!

my first radio cassette recorder from 1969

Akkord tr1000 "combiphon"
Excellent reception on all four bands.
Still great sounding.Six D-cells.
ONE -knob operated.

...here's my panasonic:

Very cool start guys.

And here's another version of autoreverer's National Panasonic 5410:

One of my more obscure favorites, the NEC RM-248RE:



Notice how the FM is the old Eastern Bloc band: 64-74 MHz. Not much good for receiving anything these days, except the audio from some VHF-LO TV channels (depending on which channels are broadcasting in a particular area). Of course, next year, when all U.S. TV goes digital, VHF-LO will be good for absolutely nothing!

Man, I hope the deck works on that unit or it has line-in plugs 'cause it's just gonna be a good looking paperweight real soon!

Panasonic/National Panasonic cousins:

Not flashy, but a nice, kind of arty Grundig design:

Some boomboxes are mostly just for lookin-at. But, yeah, fortunately the tape deck on the NEC does work. And, of course, there's always the thrill of listening to the dazzling sounds of AM and SW radio!

News radio is pretty exciting!

I like how the reels of the cassette are framed by the circles on the cassette door... That's an impressive pic of an impressive looking box!

Glad i asked now.Thanks guys

Monos Plural right ? p.s. both of these from Peppin

Man I frkn love those JVC,s what an insane monster.I can imagine the day someone had these on a drawing board and i would imagine there were arguments about placing it into production. "NOBODY WILL BUY A GIANT MONO"

Her is my Sony CF-490S with studio mixer and with the delicious silver cap speaker.

thanks!

Here's a Centrex RK-114.

My first ever radio cassette, the Philips AR073:

I no longer have it. If you ever see one, I'm beyond desperate!

Then along came another mono, my Hitachi TRK5351:

REAL budget stuff here, but it went everywhere with me & I loved it.
Right up the the point where IU could afford a stereo b-box.


Now there's something very cool about a massive, toyed up, kick-4rse mono. I remember stonking great brick-sh1te-house Aiwas, Sanyos & all sorts, so let's be havin' 'em folks...

TV's a bonus on this one!

Old National-Panasonic:


Philips RR40 with wood-style deko:


Scrappy Philips 470:


Noname Brand "Carina":


1972´ AIWA:

Sony CFS900s Rhythm Capsule with input jacks for guitar & mics.

awesome box lopez

I'm not into collecting mono's but a lovely lady I'm giving computer help to donated this to me today because she knows I collect 'big radios', needless to say it's now my favourite mono.

Behold, the His Master's Voice BATTALION!




Bass, Treble, Mic Mixing controls and a natty VU meter than can be switched into REC, Battery or even Tune mode. Backlit dial and VU too,.. (sorry about the crappy pic, camera just ran out of juice).



I love the very military motif, replete with gun sight styled marker on the tuner. Sounds nice and solid and although the deck needs new belts the radio kicks along at a very pleasing level.



Rock On.
