That JVC was an awesome find Sinister and i really like that blue Sanyo ! Nice to see some colour. While we are on the Sanyo's, is this a mini or a walkman ??

skippy1969 - 2008-06-24 15:45

Awesome Jared! great deal...... Big Grin Wink

jaredscottfla - 2008-06-24 16:44

SmileThanks Skip,it's pretty cool,I'm gonna clean it up some more,and then will post pics if tinypic works... Roll Eyes it sounds pretty awesome for a little thing but needs the contacts cleaned when sliding the volume slider up or down it's scratchy, i'm looking foward to putting it through it's paces in the next few days,i'm listening to the marlins-devil rays baseball game on it now. Cool

walkgirl - 2008-06-24 22:48

That is lovely Jaredscottfla! Cool

You maybe better use imageshack, because tinypic
is deleting pictures these days Frown

Or better get yourself a photobucket account,
then the pictures will be here forever!

Oh yes, are you sure about the number?, I did look
RC S21JW up, but nothing was found here on the
forum Confused

jaredscottfla - 2008-06-25 08:55

Red Face yep nicolle that is the right number it's not the same as your's now that i did a closer look,it's smaller and has sliders instead of buttons. I played with it last nite,Tape plays Perfect Fm is super,Am and Sw Are Pretty Good,Has Same Features as Your's Am Standard Coverage Fm Standard Coverage Sw 6-18 Mhz and The Tape Player.

isolator42 - 2008-06-25 10:29

well, I go with my tiddlers:
Sansui FX-700R:

Crazy amount of features, old-school "sharp" sound

Sony ZX-7:

Quality, quality, quality

Akia PJ11:

Wacky rotating speakers, wacky everything else, solid build

walkgirl - 2008-06-25 11:03

Lovely! Smile

hat are nice minis geoffhartwell!

Isotlator42, there is the sony!, I really want one

Save some for me!, ecpecially a sony zx-7 and a walkmanboombox
and such a little hitachi! Smile

redbenjoe - 2008-06-25 12:40

no problem Smile

aza - 2008-06-25 16:11

Very nice Sansui isolator ! Looks in mint condition and i really like it in black ! Dont know what year it was released but it had a $129 price tag, well this one did anyway.

isolator42 - 2008-06-26 04:29

oops, forgot some.
Here's my Hitachi TRK6700:

look at all those toys! 3-way spks (OTT, but why not, eh?), bass & treble, loudness, stereo-wide, servo deck, LED level meter, proper aux in...

Panasonic RX FM27:

lovely build quality, auto reverse deck, funny push-button EQ thingy.

Bass output is hampered by the small woofers on these, but both make a racket that belies their diminutive size.

Keep looking, Nicolle, it'll be worth it when you find one. However, if it's a nice example, you'll need deep pockets. Mine was a bit ropey when I got it - needed all my er, "expertise" to get it 100%. The tuner is still crackles when tuning between stations & the deck motor still makes a funny noise sometimes, but I'm happy enough Smile

walkgirl - 2008-06-26 11:47

Yes I do believe the little sonies are not cheap,
but when you would be so kind to help find one as I never
seem to find nice stuff on ebay Smile

walkgirl - 2008-06-29 03:12

Here is Jaredscottfla's new stereo miniboombox Smile

walkgirl - 2008-06-29 05:20

Red Face

I am happy you are happy with the nice miniboombox! Cool

walkgirl - 2008-07-22 14:28

Here is my latest miniboombox Smile

It is a Minerva MKS20

And when all is well there will be another miniboombox
in a short while in my collection! Cool

analogboi - 2008-07-24 11:17

Love the little JVC in your first set of pictures Walkgirl! Such classic styling... How does it sound? Maybe you have an electronic engineer friend that could VERY CAREFULLY add LED VU meters in the blank gray area above the speakers?? Then you would have your little bbx with LED lights! Would look cool too! Big Grin

walkgirl - 2008-07-24 14:01

Thanks analogboy Smile

The sound from the jvc is really good!, and loud!
but there is not much bass, but that is no problem

I will not put lamps on the jvc, I will keep it
like it is, 100% original out of the box Cool

ghettoboom777 - 2008-07-30 20:05

Hi-I have a Magnavox D-1670.Although I don't know If I can technically call it a boombox because it doesn't have a cassette.
It is stereo and has 2 speakers and even has spatial sound and it's really a mini!
I'm trying to find a photo.
I really need to take photos of all of my boomboxes when I get some more film.
I have used my freind's digital camer but it's not the best.
My camera takes nice photos but I have to wait to get them developed! Red Face
If I find a photo I'll post it her otherwise I really do like my Magnavox,you can actually put it in your pocket,it's that small.
Have a super weekend-Ghettoboom777. Smile

walkgirl - 2008-07-30 23:00

That is fantastic Ghettoboom! Smile

I do think I know which one you mean!, Babyboomer
does have one also I think!

Develop pictures? Red Face

Is it not more cheap these days to buy a cheap
digital camera? Leaving

Hi Walkgirl-Yes,I haven't bought a digital camera yet even though they are much cheaper now.
I guess it takes me a while to get into this digital age,my Canon automatic 35mm is pretty good at taking pictures but I hate the waiting to get them developed.
I do have an I-pod and lots of boomboxes but no digital camera yet. Red Face
I plan on buying one this fall.
By the way I'll post a picture of my mini Magnavox if I can find a photo online but I haven't had any luck.
I'll have a photo soon if I can borrow my friend's camera again.
Have a great weekend-Ghettoboom777. Smile

Trade for an RX-5150?

oldskool69 - 2008-07-31 18:09

Not looking to trade it. I've only had it for a week. Plus these are uber rare and hard to find. Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-08-12 14:58

thanks to walkgirl for being the founder of this interesting thread --
and to isolator for posting that shot of his hitachi mini --

the moment i saw it -- went bonkers -
but than figured the 'usual' :
"none of those cool boxes are ever available in the usa"

a few days later --a mint one pops up -and the seller was already a former seller/friend of mine --

so BOINK --its here now Smile

real nice liitle box :
