I have been looking for my bombeat 40. I found it this morning, In-between a trk8600, and, 2 880`s. She`s a battered and bruised old lady, but, it sounds superb.

It was hiding here.

Is this one like the black BomBeat 40 Litfan?

Battered & bruised? That camera's being kind, it looks fine...

Such a classic looker that one, glad you found it, Lit.
Damn, look at that storage - what a fine example to others...

cute little find there lit
wish i could locate mine

Yeah, i was a bit worried, which is unusual for me. I really love this old timer.

Glad you found her Litfan! That's the first time I'd seen one of those. It's quite garish for a Toshiba, just the way I like them. Need to add that model to 'the list' as well.

She looks in pretty good condition from the photo. What needs work on her?



Rock On.

It`s almost identical to the black one, except, for the badges above the speakers.

A rare bird indeed you're lucky to own one.

nice bombeat rich, i spy 2 880's there to, wanna sell one

Thanks everyone. I still remember, trying to figure out, how to get the front cover off. After removing all the srews it stil wouldn`t budge. after pondering for ages, i realized, 2 of the allen bolts around the speaker surrounds, are actually real. One to each speaker.

It looks Awesome Lit !!!!!!

Very nice box, Lit. I would really like to own one of those, it's such a nice design and BIG!

Awesome Score Lit! Almost as rare as you...
It's really different. Even goes with your curtains

I think I like the gold version better than the black. It's definitely a thing of beauty.

wow! that thing is beautiful. i'd kill for that box!

WOW Gorgeous man.

Stunning bbx!

Crazy about the front bolts to take it apart!

I remember talking to the seller, after i won it on ebay uk (£26). He said, he found it on a boot sale in preston (uk), years ago. It had been lying around his house for years. His kids had been kicking it about, fiddling with it, etc. When i received it, the dirt was up to the "3 way speaker" badges level.

Wow, for how dirty you are describing the box was... you did an outstanding clean up!

Congrats on owning that beauty! And especially for getting it at that price!

Cheers JT. Is the 9696, in the avatar yours?.

Yes! Thanks for asking.

It is a relatively recent acquisition from ePay. I just completed major tape deck repair to get it up to 100%. The motor was missing and the capstan bushing was complete goop and made a mess. I got the replacement motor from a member here, cleaned out the goo, and replaced the capstan bushing by using a small piece of screening spline. It works perfectly now and I'm even listening to it as I type...

WHHAAAHAAAT? NO DOILIES?

Thery have been wiped out by the brain aneurysm ed.

Doilies or no, Litfan you are one of the class acts in the S2G Hall of Fame.

Likewise, old friend.

You found her ol chum i thought you would rock on
